Pastor Gerrit teaches verse-by-verse through 2 Samuel 20, continuing our study of the life of David and addressing the instability of his kingdom after Absalom’s rebellion. He explains how Sheba’s uprising, Joab’s violence, and the tragic consequences of past sin reveal the reality of living in a broken and divided world. Drawing from David’s example and failure, Pastor Gerrit outlines practical instruction for believers on maintaining unity, staying on guard against temptation, remaining submitted to God’s Word, acting wisely in dealing with sin, and placing lasting hope in the Lord’s eternal kingdom. This message from 2 Samuel helps us understand how to live faithfully in an unstable world while remembering that true stability is found in Christ alone.
