When those around you fall or fail, how do you stay strong in your faith? In this message from 2 Samuel 15, we dive into the rebellion of Absalom and the inspiring response of David. Through trials and betrayal, David teaches us how to trust God, seek His presence, and follow His lead with unwavering faith.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

1) Absalom: A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing (v1–6)

• Resentment replaced honor in Absalom’s heart (Ephesians 6:2-3).

• His pride and lack of humility led to rebellion (Proverbs 12:2).

• He exhibited deceitful and devilish behavior (Romans 16:17-18).

2) Absalom’s Conspiracy (v7–12)

• True character is revealed by fruit (1 Timothy 4:16).

• Absalom misrepresented God and enticed others into rebellion.

3) David’s Retreat (v13–18)

• David retreated into God’s presence during adversity (Psalm 3).

• He reminded us that what’s popular isn’t always right (v12, 18).

4) David’s Friends: Commitment that Honors God (v19–37)

• Faithful friends provided comfort in the storm.

• David trusted God’s sovereignty and sought His counsel in prayer.

God hasn’t promised a life without challenges, but He has promised strength, grace, and His unfailing love. When trials come, retreat into His presence, surround yourself with godly support, and stay faithful to His plan.
