A King and a Kingdom | Chariots of Pride | 2 Samuel 15:1-12 | August 11, 2024

David's sin with Bathsheba and Uriah is met with a consequence; that the sword will never depart from David's house. His son, Absalom, is a schemer and commits treason so that he can claim the throne in Israel. Though we can look at Absalom and David and see how they are both sinful, we see the difference is not in how great they are, but in Who they trust; Absalom in himself, but David in the Lord. Christians today find themselves just like these two men, prideful and flawed, but thanks be to God who forgives and redeems all those who trust in Him.
