2 Samuel 2:8-3:39 | Now Then Do It

In this message from 2 Samuel 2:8–3:21, Pastor Gerrit traces the unfolding tension between Abner, Joab, and David during the early days of David’s rise to kingship. Through the political struggles, personal rivalries, and civil war between the house of Saul and the house of David, we see lessons on waiting patiently for God’s timing, recognizing the futility of resisting His will, and the harm caused when God’s people fight among themselves. The account also reveals David’s human flaws, yet underscores God’s faithfulness in strengthening his kingdom according to His purpose.
