In this sermon, Pastor Davis explains how the advancement of God's kingdom necessarily leads to the defeating of God's enemies, regardless of how close they may be to us. Taken from the example of King David and his rebellious son Absalom, Pastor Davis carefully edifies our church in finding peace in the advent of the Church against the enemies of God.

In this sermon, Pastor Davis Lacey challenges the church to live for the Lord of the world rather than in the ways of the world. Unlike Absalom, we are challenged to live lives that follow the King rather than being our own kings.

In this sermon, Pastor Davis Lacey explains how King David extended covenant kindness to Hanun and Mephibosheth and how Jesus ultimately extends even greater convenant faithfulness to His people.

Today’s sermon explored 2 Samuel 7–8 and showed how God’s covenant with David provides instruction for us about Jesus, prayer, and God’s promises. David desired to build God a house, but God revealed something greater: He would build David a lasting house—a kingdom ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the true and eternal King. God does not remain distant from His people; in Jesus, He “pitched His tent among us,” sharing our journey and bringing redemption.

David’s response to God’s covenant also teaches us how to pray. The promises of God are the fuel of prayer. Rather than making prayer unnecessary, God’s sovereignty gives us confidence to praise Him, intercede for others, and boldly pray His promises back to Him.

Finally, God’s promises may have partial fulfillments today, but their perfect fulfillment awaits Christ’s return. Therefore, we can trust God, pray faithfully, and participate in His work with hope.

Pastor Davis preached from 2 Samuel 5–6, showing how David’s reign serves as an “overture” pointing toward a greater King. The central message was that Jesus fulfills what David foreshadows. David imperfectly shepherded and united God’s people, defeated their enemies, restored God’s presence to Jerusalem, and extended God’s blessing. Jesus accomplishes each of these things fully: He is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His people, the Savior who ransoms every tribe and nation, the mediator who brings sinful people into God’s presence, and the King who generously blesses His church. David’s failures also remind us that no human leader can be our ultimate hope. Because God is faithful to His promises, we can trust His Word even when obedience seems difficult. The sermon concluded with three responses: savor Christ, trust the Scriptures, and confidently share the goodness of Jesus with others.
