EP. 31 | Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament – The Davidic Covenant

Ever wondered how the Old Testament points to Jesus? In this episode, Jan and Lisa dig into 2 Samuel 7 and explore the Davidic Covenant—God’s powerful promise that leads straight to the Messiah. They unpack how King David foreshadows Christ, why God’s plans are always bigger than ours, and how we can seek His heart in every decision. Plus, they drop some VeggieTales references you won’t want to miss!
