A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from 2 Samuel 16:5-14.
In 2 Samuel 16, David is on the run once again. The first time, he fled from his predecessor, Saul, who sought to take his life. Now, he is running from his own son, Absalom. Once more, David is humbled—barefoot, crushed, and broken. Yet, in his brokenness, we witness the king’s confidence. He no longer places his trust in himself but in God.
Big Idea: When confronted with unjust criticism or the consequences of sin, trust God to mercifully sustain you.
- Shimei’s Cursing: “You Got What You Deserved!” (5-8)
- David’s Confidence: “The Lord Will Be Good to Me!” (9-14)
- Confide in the Sovereignty of God
- Confide in the Discipline of God
- Confide in the Compassion of God
