2 Sameul 15 - The Politics of Impatience
Absalom leads a consiracy to take over the throne of Israel from David by becoming impatienct with God and his will. His Scheme seems to work as David decides to feel Jerusalem. The Author brings out the teme of impatience with God in this chapter through the following contrasts: 1) a Me-First Strategy vs. a Humble Strategy, 2) Godless Ambition vs. Self Sacrifice, 3) Rebellion vs. Submission, and 4) a Selfish Perspective vs. a Honest Perspective. One will learn that being impatient with God is like catching a knife on the wrong end - it will hurt. Like David Jesus crossed the Brook of Kidron to pray and accept the will of God. Are you more like Absalom or David and Ittai when it comes to your trust in the will of God? Listen and find out.

Psalm 2: Good News For Rebels
We are all rebels – each and every one of us.Humanity's rebellion began with the very first human beings Adam and Eve knew God's requirements but raised their fists toward his throne. They placed themselves in the position of God and decided for themselves what was right and wrong. This was rebellion – an act of treason against their maker and king. Ever since, humanity has been in rebellion against God. The Psalmist wants to clearly state this fact: God has appointed a day when he will bring all rebellion on earth to and end!

Refusing Defeat
...and every branch that bears fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. (John 15:2) The Lord is with us. Do not fear them. (Numbers 14:9) Issues that contribute to our spiritual defeat 1. Pruning in our lives is misunderstood, so we do our own pruning. 2. We are consumed by the present. 3. A misunderstanding of our present situation causes rebellion to be born in our heads. 4. We learn to remain in what was to be a temporary/transitional place. 5. If we continue to live in personal defeat we may not want to be liberated. 6. If going forward doesn't seem to work we accept defeat as a way of life.
