A Message from Pastor Kevin DibbleyThis Sunday, we are going to continue in our study of the Wisdom Psalms by studying Psalm 3. Psalm 3 is written at the time of one of the most heart-wrenching moments of King David’s life: his son Absalom seeks to usurp his father’s throne. David’s son despises him. David’s son believes David is not fit to be king. Absalom works methodically and even gains the support of some of David’s closest allies to reject David as King and replace him. It’s interesting that in 2 Samuel, the story of David and Bathsheba takes up only two chapters of the book (ch.11 and 12). The story of Absalom takes up six chapters (ch. 13-18). Here’s the thing: David really has blown it. David didn’t just blow it when he fell into sin with Bathsheba and had Uriah the Hittite murdered. David blew it as a father and a king to Absalom in the years that followed. His failings as a parent are very apparent in 2 Samuel. However, what those around him fail to see is that God’s grace is greater than all David’s sin. David’s son and his former allies assume that because of David’s sin and weaknesses that God cannot be with David. But the story of the gospel is the story of a heavenly Father who is faithful to His people even when his people fail to be faithful to Him. Our sermon this Sunday is called Grace that is Greater than All Our Sin. One of the most helpful principles that we as believers need to have when we are acutely aware of our shortcomings is that God is faithful and just to forgive those who have fallen and failed if they take refuge in Him. We hope that you will find encouragement and comfort this Sunday as we gather to worship our great and glorious God and Savior. We are taking communion this Sunday so prepare your hearts to celebrate the glorious grace of our God. Hope you will join us and that you will invite a friend. |
