    All Is Now Yours: Giving What We Do Not Have

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 8, 2001
    based on 34 ratings
     | 4,412 views

    In uncertain times, it remains true that giving away what we cannot possess anyway is the path to fulfillment; it must, however, be a gift that refreshes the fainting.

    It seems that we do not have what we think we have. Sometimes what seems to be ours is not ours at all. Buildings as sturdy as the Pentagon and as imposing as the World Trade Center can be destroyed in a moment of awful terror. Lives promising and beautiful are snuffed out, and there is little ...read more

    As we descend deep into the world of family matters we cross the crevice of “when you blow it as a parent.” I want to help you navigate safely to the base camp of another challenging aspect of the parental climb

    David mustered the men who were with him and appointed over them commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds. David sent the troops out—a third under the command of Joab, a third under Joab’s brother Abishai son of Zeruiah, and a third under Ittai the Gittite. The king told the troops, “I ...read more

    This is a message on how to use God’s word to build stronger relationships with all members of the family (even with those who don’t know the Lord).

    2 Samuel 13:24-31 Tells of one of the most dysfunctional families in the Bible. Consider this family : The husband commits adultery. His son (Amnon) raped his half-sister (Tamar, the sister of Absalom). The husband did not implement discipline. The full brother (Absalom) killed his half ...read more

     | 5,937 views

    As great a king as David was, he was still a human king with all the flaws of any human being. It would take the coming of Jesus before we had a king who truly reflected God’s heart in all he did; whose leadership would fully reflect God’s character.

    What we’re looking at today is not pretty. Incest, rape, murder, political intrigue leading to a coup d’état, David running for his life. And again we wonder what to make of it all. Why is it in here? Well, there are a couple of reasons it’s in here. One is to show how quickly God’s judgement on ...read more

     | 13,428 views

    This is a sermon about the proper way to serve God. There is a difference between being a cook and a cook in the white house. And there is a difference between being a servant and a servant of God.

    Who Are You Serving 2 Samuel 15:15 Here we read about the loyalty of David’s servants. Absalom (David’s own son) was starting an up an uprising against David. Absalom apparently resented being ignored by his father and resented his brother Ammon going unpunished for the raping Tamar. Absalom ...read more

     | 17,585 views

    This sermon relates the grief of David over the death of Absalom to God’s grief over our sin.

    Turn with me to 2 Samuel 18. Read 2 Samuel 18:24-33. Here we see a sad picture. King David is well advanced in years. He is no longer the young vibrant man that he once was. He is a broken man. The years had taken their toll on this once strong warrior. He had seen his family fall apart ...read more
