In today's world, it is so easy to be passive. To let bygones be bygones. What's the harm in “letting it go”? What we don't realize is that to ignore or avoid conflict or difficult issues, whether it is emotional wounds, unresolved conflicts, or personal sins, is dangerous. What we avoid often festers and eventually confronts us in more damaging ways. Join Pastor Ben as he unpacks one of the more challenging and powerful stories of David’s life, guiding us through the tragic events of Amnon, Tamar, and Absalom in 2 Samuel 13-18. The message brought to us today challenges us to bring unresolved hurts and hidden struggles to light, and how, in doing this, we can discover hope, healing, and restoration in facing what we would rather avoid. Don’t leave Absalom at the gate.
