2nd Samuel // A Comfortable King [2 Samuel 20-21] (Peter Cowie)

Back into 2nd Samuel this week, Peter Cowie looks at chapters 20-21 with us.

Peter dives in deep from the start with the question, "How do we be men and women after God's own heart when things get comfortable?" Peter looks back at the story so far, showing the context of the journey David has been on, starting in Chapter 11 through to our chapters for today. As Peter comes into chapter 20, he looks at how David contrasts with those in this chapter. David is passive while everyone is trying to be active, and every time that David is passive, it ends up in disaster. But chapter 21 turns this around. Peter looks at what happened when David became active again, and he lived out his duty and faith, doing what God asked him to do. Peter wraps up by talking about how we need to be active in our faith and live out what it means to be men and women after God's own heart when times are good.
