“Rightly Receiving the King”

2 Samuel 19:8b—15 and 24-30 - Jerry Scheumann

As David has now been victorious against the rebellion, he now returns to Jerusalem to secure the throne for himself, and as he does so, he is met by a mix of various responses, some selfish and faithless, others joyful and humble. So also, as Christ is now exalted as King of kings, it is imperative not only that we receive Christ, but we receive him rightly.

“Faith in Dark Days”

2 Samuel 15 - Jerry Scheumann

As David endures a very dark day as his own son, Absalom, rebels against him to seek the throne for himself, we see in Ittai the Gittite and David 4 demonstrations of a resilient faith in dark times. These examples of faith ouught to firm your resolve to trust the Lord in difficult times.
