2 Samuel 17 | "God is Completely Sovereign"
Rev. Will Stern

In this sermon from 2 Samuel 17, we see that God is completely sovereign—guiding even the choices of men like Absalom—and yet He accomplishes His purposes through ordinary means like prayer, planning, and courage, ultimately pointing us to His sovereign work of salvation through Jesus Christ.

2 Samuel 16:15-23 | "Worldly Wisdom vs Heavenly Wisdom"
Rev. Will Stern

In 2 Samuel 16, we see that worldly wisdom—like that of Ahithophel and Absalom—justifies sin, uses others for gain, and assumes control over destiny, but the cross of Christ reveals the true heavenly wisdom of forgiveness, humble service, and God’s sovereign rule.

2 Samuel 14:28-15:14 | "Stealing Hearts"

2 Samuel 14. | "Confronting Injustice"

In the face of grievous injustice, both David and Absalom failed—one through passive silence and the other through vengeful violence—yet their failures point us to Christ, who alone responds to injustice with perfect justice, mercy, and humility.
