This is the final message in our series, The Lord Is My Rock: The Message of 2 Samuel. As we have walked through this chapter, we have been focusing on what David saw in God, what he delighted to know about His Lord. This week we take one final and long look at the heart…

We are nearing the end of our walk through 2 Samuel: A part of the book that seems to be out of place. The next few chapters are not a chronological recounting of history like the rest of 2 Samuel has been. They don’t carry on the story of David. But they aren’t just a…

The final part of the story of Absalom’s conspiracy concludes with the story of David’s return to the city of David. One might think with Absalom dead, that King David would have logically been re-accepted as king over the people. This was not the case. The tribes were squabbling like siblings often do. Pastor Matt…

We pick up where we left off last week in the story of Absalom’s conspiracy. This week’s story is a profoundly sad story from a father’s perspective. But we have to remember that the Bible is a revelation of who God is and what God is up to in our world. The Bible is all…

Returning to our study of 2 Samuel, and for the next three weeks we will be studying the story of Absalom’s conspiracy. This week we see David having to flee his city as his son takes over his kingship. Through this story we learn to Trust in God’s Wisdom, Ask for God’s Aid, Accept God’s…

We continue walking through 2 Samuel moving on to a profoundly sad story about yucky, repugnant, disgusting sin. And yet, this is God’s Word. All “Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that [we] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16. So why…

Up until this point in our story, David has been, if not perfect, quite ideal as king. In fact, our last several messages has been about how good of a king David was. David, however, was far from perfect. Listen to Sunday’s message and see two things that we can learn through the story of…

In today’s passage, we will get a glimpse of what King David’s rule. We will see what it was like and what kind of ruler he himself was. But there is something even more important in these three chapters of scripture. King David is not the main character of this….God is. Listen to Pastor Matt’s…

After taking a break to focus on the Resurrection of Christ, we return to our series in 2 Samuel, The LORD is My Rock. In today’s passage, we see that David is wanting to build a house for the Ark of the Covenant, but God has other plans. We see that God is the Great…

King David has decided that it is time to bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. This is a momentous occasion, because it will bring together the monarchy, the capital city, and the center of worship to one place. Pastor Matt uses this message to challenge us all to examine the way we worship…

David is finally king! Now the big question is what will David’s new kingdom be like? Chapter 5 is all about David’s kingdom. it establishes what it will be like, especially in the early years. Pastor Matt summarizes David’s kingdom in three key words: Promised, Powerful, and Prosperous. Pastor Matt preaching on 2 Samuel 5:1-25…

Last week we ended one sermon series and started another. This new series is called The LORD Is My Rock: The Message of 2 Samuel.
