Betrayal, backstabbing, and deception are all part of this Sunday's episode from 2 Samuel.

We'll look at three back-to-back stories, that together, form a grander narrative about God and his kingdom.

As we read these plots and betrayals against David, you'll begin to see how they also reveal truths about a greater king with a greater kingdom, unstoppable by any human scheme.

Last week we started a new teaching series on 2 Samuel. The book begins by building on the closing of 1 Samuel and the death of King Saul.

The Bible records David’s grief in this raw moment, and has timeless wisdom for us to learn about how to deal with grieving, loss, and pain.

Grief and loss are an unavoidable and all-too-common part of life on earth and in this message we’ll look at David's experience and how he walked with God in these challenging times.
