2 Samuel 10-11 | The Kindness of God: Rejected and Despised

Pastor Gerrit teaches through 2 Samuel 10–11, beginning with David’s kindness to the new Ammonite king and how suspicion and bad counsel escalate a simple gesture into a larger conflict. As the narrative moves into chapter 11, the focus shifts to David at home, where he neglects his responsibilities as king, commits adultery with Bathsheba, and arranges the death of Uriah. Pastor Gerrit emphasizes how unchecked desires and the abuse of power lead to serious consequences, showing the need for repentance and reliance on God’s guidance.
