2 Samuel 14

January 19, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • 2 Samuel 14

2 Samuel 14 tells the tale of a fractured family. King David appears ineffective as a father and his third son, Absalom, recalcitrant upon his return to Jerusalem. After two years of the silent treatment Absalom has had enough and draws a line in the sand. The conflicts begin to unfold but join Pastor Jim as he points us to the good news of how God’s grace towards repentant sinners is both whole-hearted and unconstrained.

2 Samuel 19:9-43

February 23, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • 2 Samuel 19:9–43

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.
