2 Samuel 12:9-13:39: The Consequences (Fall of a King)

Welcome to the 37th sermon in our series on the books of 1 & 2 Samuel.

In the books of 1&2 Samuel, God grants his people a king, but it doesn’t go the way they think it will go. Power is something every person craves, but does it ever deliver what we hope it will deliver? In God’s story, power is a crucible that enables, lifts up, reveals and exposes. It is God’s to grant and ours to either steward or worship…one leads to life, the other to destruction.

Join us through the books of 1&2 Samuel as we look at the stories of prophets, kings and peasants being shaped and formed by God’s crucible of power.

Welcome to the 1st sermon in our series on waiting for the coming of Christ.

“Advent” means the arrival or coming of something important. This season we will remember all that God has accomplished as we look back at the prayer of Hannah in 1 Samuel 2. She is a powerful image of what it is to trust in the God who will accomplish His good purpose. We will walk through her prayer as we also wait and remember. Remember that Christ has come and waiting, with hope and joy, for His return.
