Rejecting God’s King

Cary Cox, from 2 Samuel 20. David resumes his reign, but before he can even sit on the throne, another rebellion breaks out! The nation is divided. God’s people are arguing instead of rallying around the King. Sheba leads an explicit, King-rejecting rebellion. But there is another, more subtle rebellion taking place…

Who Has the Final Word

Cary Cox, from 2 Samuel 17. The mighty counselors advise Absalom, with the future and direction of the kingdom hanging in the balance! Yet, it is the Lord who has the final word! We look at the sovereign decrees of God – He reigns over all! Nothing is left to chance. We either fight the Lord for control, or fall at his feet in humble trust.

God’s Kingdom Secured

Cary Cox, from 2 Samuel 5. After years of waiting, David experiences the faithfulness of God to his promise, as he is anointed king over all Israel! As David unifies Israel under his kingship, takes Jerusalem, and defeats his enemies, we see a picture of the great King, the Lord Jesus Christ!

God Works in the Crazy

Cary Cox, from 2 Samuel 3-4. Everyone around David is acting like they’ve lost their minds, spinning crazy, unleashing sin and foolishness. But David is standing still. And God is at work – even in the crazy, sovereign over sin – to fulfill his good purpose. This points us to Christ! We can trust God, even when it’s crazy!
