In 2 Samuel 16, we see that worldly wisdom—like that of Ahithophel and Absalom—justifies sin, uses others for gain, and assumes control over destiny, but the cross of Christ reveals the true heavenly wisdom of forgiveness, humble service, and God’s sovereign rule.

When others revile, slander, or persecute us, David’s response in 2 Samuel shows us how to walk in humility, extend mercy, and trust God for justice.

In this sermon on Colossians 3:16, we explore how the Word of Christ dwells richly in us through teaching, admonition, and singing—shaping our hearts, our worship, and our life together as the church.

In this sermon on Psalm 3, we walk with David through his crisis of accusation and fear, and find hope in his bold profession of faith, his heartfelt petition for rescue, and his proclamation that salvation belongs to the Lord who defangs every foe—the world, the flesh, and the devil.

When life unravels in an instant, David’s flight from Jerusalem in 2 Samuel 15 shows us how to care for others, look for God’s unexpected mercies, wait on the Lord, and take decisive action—all pointing us to the greater example of Jesus Christ.

ust as Absalom stole the hearts of Israel through outward appearance, power, and concern, this message warns how the world still seeks to draw our hearts away from King Jesus—and calls us back to the true beauty, power, and compassion found in Him alone.

In the face of grievous injustice, both David and Absalom failed—one through passive silence and the other through vengeful violence—yet their failures point us to Christ, who alone responds to injustice with perfect justice, mercy, and humility.

In this sermon, “Responding to Injustice: A Warning from David and Absalom,” we examine how two flawed responses to injustice—David’s silence and Absalom’s vengeance. These responses reveal our own tendencies while pointing us to the only true hope for justice and mercy: Jesus Christ.
