Sermons About David
Prophet-able Correction
When the prophet Nathan rebukes David for his sin with Bathsheba, we are given a powerful reminder of our call as followers of Jesus Christ to admonish one another, in love, when a brother or sister strays.

Revolutionary - Revolutionary You
The final installment of the series Revolutionary. In David's last words to his son Solomon, we hear a heartfelt plea from a father to a son to not just be concerned about building the temple, but how he lived his life. Wholehearted devotion is how David encouraged his son to obey God. Solomon failed to embrace this aspect of the revolutionary. What will our story be? -Hank Wilson

2 Samuel 21:1-14 - The Cost of Covenant Breaking
Chapter 21 starts a new section (21-24) in closing the book of 2 Samuel. Some thing think that this secion is an intrusion to our the them of transition (David to Soloman). But I believe that the author is making a conclding point on how God's kingdom is to be goverend. In our passage in 2 Samuel 21, David's kingdom is experiencing a famine which causes David to pray to find out its cause. God says it is because the bloodguilt on Saul because he put the Gibeonites (who had made a Covenant with Israel in the name of the Lord (see Joshuah 9)) to death. David Doesn't pray for a solution but seeks atonement with the Gibeonites who want 7 men to pay with their lives. The difference between David and Saul is show by David loyality to the covenant he made with Jonathan to protect Mephibosheth (Jonathan's son). it ends with showing Rispah love for her son in protecting the bodyas and David giving Saul, Jonathan and the other that were hanged to bury them. We learn how misplaced zeal can cause us not to rely on our covenant with God and his mercy.

Revolutionaries Contribute
To be revolutionary, we need to regularly contribute to God’s mission of helping people find their way back to Him. As we look even more closely at David’s life of contribution we will see how it compares to the lives of other revolutionaries like Jim and Elisabeth Elliot. Their selfless contribution to God’s mission changed the lives of those around them for eternity.

Revolutionaries Celebrate
The world is hungering to know what God is like, and that is not just about information and spiritual data. You can't really know what you need to know about God outside of experiencing Him through celebration.

2 Samuel 18.1-19.8 - A Sad Victory
This is the final battle that determines who is king. David's men defeats Absalom and kills him contrary to David's request and command. While Joab may have been disobedient in this action, he is still acting more like a king that David, who is passive. David finally receives the news about the death of Absalom and morns for his son. His morning actually hurts the troops and demoralizes Israel in the process. One will benefit from this narrative when one places it and the sad vistory with the emphasis on David's guilt and solution in grace of God in Christ.

Speak to the mountain
Summary: Our words are what we use to attack the enemy. When we say what God says to our enemies, it’s like shooting bullets at them. When we talk the problem, it’s like throwing cookies at them. Our words are the bullet, our mouth is the gun, but love is the firing pin. We have got to get God’s word in our mouth and fire at the enemy that’s standing in our way. We have to speak to the mountain. Don’t ask God to do anything about it, stop crying about it. Stop talking about how big it is, stop telling everyone you meet that will listen to you how big it is, and speak to it. Command it to go!
