Following the True King Through Crisis and Covenant (2 Samuel 15:18-37)

We live in a world where “Absaloms” rise daily—where truth is traded for influence, and loyalty is seduced by charm. We live as strangers in a land shaped by self-expression, not self-denial. In such a world, faithfulness can feel like foolishness. But it’s not. Sometimes faith doesn’t look like standing tall—it looks like walking barefoot through tears. In this sermon pastor Joel reminds us that crisis proves and strengthens covenant faithfulness to God’s true King. In David’s darkest hour, God showed up as Redeemer, Savior, and Friend. In Jesus, those roles aren’t just revealed—they’re fulfilled. And in your crisis, they are real. The same God who walked with David and wept with Jesus walks with you now.
