28.30: 2 Samuel 17 and 18: A Strategy that Appeals to #Pride Leads to Death

Have you ever noticed in a movie when the camera focuses in on a certain  object that gets left behind? That means that object is going to play a  major role in the story down the line.

You may just meet God today! If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then… Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.

Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me.
