On Sunday November 30, 2025, Matthew Williams preached the message “Atonement Needed, Provided, Supplied” from 2 Samuel 21:1-`4. To listen to this message again, click here. See below for discussion questions on this passage and message.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  1. In 2 Samuel 21, Israel is suffering for breaking a covenant. What does that teach us about the character of God and the nature of sin?

  2. What is atonement and why is it necessary in relationship with God? Why can’t God forgive people for free?

  3. In Scripture, under what circumstances does culpability for sins committed by a representative figure extend to a large group? How does the corporate nature of sin play out through death in Adam and life in Christ?

  4. Why is one of Saul’s grandsons spared? What are the parallels between Mephibosheth’s experience and our experience as Christians?

  5. Why didn’t God respond to the plea for the land immediately after David made atonement by punishing the guilty? How is atonement applied such that the spiritual rains of salvation fall on the soil of our heart?
