“Absolom’s Rebellion:
What Separates Us from God”
Pastor Joey Anjiki

1. The beauty of outward appearance
* 2 Samuel 14:25-26 “In all Israel there was not a man so highly praised for his handsome appearance as Absalom. From the top of his head to the sole of his foot there was no blemish in him. Whenever he cut the hair of his head—he used to cut his hair once a year because it became too heavy for him—he would weigh it, and its weight was two hundred shekels by the royal standard.” (NIV)
* The impact of placing value on appearance for believers
2. The temptation of wealth
* 2 Samuel 15:1 (See above)
* The impact of placing value on wealth for believers
* A story from the life of composer Handel
3. Intentionally deceptive teaching
* 2 Samuel 15:6 (See above)
* False teachings of the present day that are intentionally deceptive
* 2 Corinthians 2:17 “Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.” (NIV)

Thoughts to share at mini church:
1. What are the three things that try to separate us from God that we can learn from Absalom?
2. How should we deal with the values of others?
