Sunday 13th April 2025 // Evening // 2 Samuel 8:1-18 // David’s Victories

Rev. Craig Lynn preaches 2 Samuel 8:1-18 at evening worship on Sunday 13th March 2025 in First Ards. Following God’s covenant promises to David in chapter 7, 2 Samuel 8 shows those promises beginning to unfold. David’s reign expands through a series of military victories, not for personal glory, but as a testimony to God’s faithfulness. We see a king who rules with justice and righteousness, honours the Lord with what he gains and points us forward to a greater King still to come. This chapter isn’t just a record of battles; it’s a glimpse of God’s kingdom breaking in.
