Sermons on 2 Samuel

Many people try to be their own king, but this is a sure road to disaster. God sent you another King and you can trust Him.

In this series, we will follow the story of two kings in the Bible—David and Saul—and discover the very different paths they chose: Saul was a religious man who followed his own heart, and David was a regenerate man who followed Jesus Christ.

As the story progresses, the difference between these two men becomes increasingly obvious. You need a king you can trust with absolute authority in your life—a king whose laws you will obey, a king whose direction you will follow, a king whose judgment you will submit to. There is a King you can trust with your life, and his name is Jesus.

It is possible to serve the Lord with great distinction, and then to undo much of the good you have accomplished.

The final chapter of David’s life serves as a warning to us that it is possible to accomplish much good, but then for it all to unravel in the later years of our lives because of our own sin and folly.
