In this message from 2 Samuel 13 we see the painful consequences of David’s sin begin to unfold within his own family just as God warned that the sword would not depart from his house. The chapter exposes the destructive power of bad counsel lust-driven relationships and passive parenting leading to tragedy violence and loss.

Though the story is dark it is recorded for our good revealing both the seriousness of sin and the faithfulness of God. Even through broken families and devastating failures God’s redemptive plan moves forward. From David’s line comes Jesus the true Son of David who alone can cleanse sin heal brokenness and bring hope where sin has brought destruction.
