“God’s Curse Upon Rebels to His King”

2 Samuel 18:1-18 - Jerry Scheumann

In David's victory over the armies of Absalom, and in Absalom's death, we see God's curse upon him. This story is typical of all that set themselves up against God's Kingdom and His King: all who oppose Christ and his reign will be brought low under God's judgment.

“God Opposes the Proud”

Proverbs 29:23 - Jerry Scheumann

Absalom was a proud man, and his pride brought him low, and his example ought to be a warning to us all. In the book of Proverbs, we will consider the marks of pride, the consequences of pride, and the solution to pride.
