Rhythm and Word - October 29, 2025

In this episode, Matt Helms continues our weekly reflections on texts in our “Bible in 100 Passages” journey. This week we are exploring the story of David. We see God make a covenant with David, building upon the one made with Abraham, understanding that God will be with David and his descendants forever, establishing an eternal kingdom. As we look back and look ahead as we approach the midpoint of this series, we can see God at work in these stories in our own lives.
