    The Retreating Casualties

    Too often Christains fall by the wayside by allowing sin to enter their lives.

    INTRO. In our text, we find the deliverance of David from his enemies by God. But we see an amazing picture here of what happened in the battle. MORE DIED IN THE WOODS THAN FIGHTING IN THE BATTLE. Historians tell us that they were retreating, running from the battle. Churches are dying all ...read more

    Miles of distance and centuries of time separate us from King David. He was a king and we are commoners. Still, despite the distance and the differences we can learn much about being fathers in this present day by looking at this father of long ago.

    David, Pt. 13

    PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE (2 SAMUEL 18:1-17) I love sports. I took to soccer, ping-pong and badminton in my younger days, and basketball and tennis in my 30s. There was no moving object I did not like. By the time I was 35, my knees couldn’t withstand the onslaught anymore. One morning my ...read more

    My Three Sons

    Dramatic monologue as if David were speaking: he starved emotionally his son Adonijah, he indulged his son Solomon, and he distanced himself from his son Absalom.

    "Bless the Lord, 0 my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, 0 my soul, and do not forget all his benefits ... as a father has compassion for his children, so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him." As a father has compassion for his children … When I first ...read more

    In this sermon you will see the damage of discouragement and ways of becoming an encourager.

    Are you working at becoming an encouraging person? This is vitally important! We find a good example of this lesson in II Sam. 19. King David’s troops had pursued Absalom in hopes of correcting the problem with the estranged son. Absalom was killed in the conflict. Instead of thanking his men for ...read more

    This is the third week of our "Prison Break" sermon series focusing on the central character of King David. It includes a timely appearance by Illinois’ ex-governer Rod Blagojavich. What do we want to do with "rats?"

    “Prison Break 3 – Shank the Rat” (Wait about 20 seconds) JOSH: Has anyone seen Pastor Homan. He was supposed to be back by now with our special guest, but I guess he must be running late.

    How excruciating is the heartbreak from the betrayal of a trusted friend! David expresses his anguish as only David can.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

    Part 3 in a 14-part series of studies I call “The Christian Character” as described by Jesus to a crowd of people on a Galilean hillside as he delivered what is more familiarly known as the “Sermon on the Mount.” In this part we examine the beatitude, “Blessed are those who mourn.”

Luke 6:20-49) Part 3 - Beatitudes – those who mourn This is Part 3 in a 14-part series of studies I call “The Christian Character” as described by Jesus to a crowd of people on a Galilean hillside as he delivered what is more ...read more

    Second Samuel 19:8-43 shows us the grace of the returning king.

    Scripture Absalom, King David’s third son, staged a rebellion against his father. David fled from Jerusalem and was able to gather loyal supporters to himself. In the ensuing battle, Absalom and his army were defeated. Twenty thousand soldiers died and Absalom himself was also killed. David ...read more

    Father's Day: As David cried out for Absalom, God is crying out for us. David wanted to lay down his life so that his son could live, and the heavenly Father has the same feelings of compassion toward us. That's why He sent Jesus.

    As you know very well, today is Father’s Day, and what I wish to talk about is the great love to which we have access in our heavenly Father – a love so great that it would be willing sacrifice itself for our spiritual well-being and life. Jesus declared in John 15:13, “Greater love has no one ...read more

    There is far more to the story of David and Absalom than palace intrigues so common to world history.

    O Absalom, My Son! An Exposition of 2 Samuel 18 There is nothing new about palace intrigues. Although there are only a few monarchies in the world, formally speaking, these intrigues have been adopted by governments everywhere. Those who rule have to deal with dishonest counselors, coups, ...read more

    Memorial Day: After we die, we may be remembered for a short while for our accomplishments, but they will all fade away with our life. Is there any way that we can be remembered forever, or be remembered after we die? Yes there is!

    Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 2:16, “For there is no more remembrance of the wise than of the fool forever, since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come.” To be forgotten is one of our greatest fears. To some people, the only thing that really matters in life is making their mark; ...read more
