2 Samuel 15 continues the account of King David and his fractured family. King David’s third son, Absalom, has set his heart on insurrection. He is intent on stealing the hearts of the people of Israel and taking the throne for himself. In the midst of this treachery David flees, and in the process his heart seems to come awake with a deeper trust and faith in God. Join us as we study this passage and witness the grace of God at work amidst the tragic consequence of sin.

This passage describes the return to Jerusalem of King David as God’s chosen covenant king over Israel. But the transition is anything but easy or smooth as various individuals and groups respond to David’s return in different ways. As pro-David and anti-David elements jockey for position, the tension becomes tangible, squabbles and bickering spring up all over the place. How does God lead David to respond? In what ways do these events point us forward to Christ, the true king, not only the king we always wanted, but also the king we have always needed.

What happens when people reject God and God’s proper claim to sovereignty in their lives? What happens when people believe in God but live their lives as if God simply doesn’t matter? Join Pastor Jim for this study of a 3,000 year old snapshot of redemption history when the hope of the Gospel was foreshadowed in the life and times of Israel’s King David.
