by Robert Dean
Passage: 2 Samuel 2:8-11
Series: 1st and 2nd Samuel (2015)
Duration: 1 hr 7 mins 29 secs

Note that the initial blue screen on the video incorrectly identifies this class as lesson #177 instead of #117.

Why does the Holy Spirit pull back the curtain on the chaos and sinful events conspiring after Saul’s death? Listen to this lesson to learn what happens when sin natures are in control. See the contrast here with David who mirrors God’s mercy and kindness to people. See the importance of knowing the geography of the area in order to follow the occurring events. Find out that when family loyalty is stronger than loyalty to God there are tragic consequences and fragmentation. Understand that a nation cannot have stability when it is in arrogance and rebellion and the only solution is to submit ourselves unto God.

Tuesday, January 30, 2018
by Robert Dean
Passage: 2 Samuel 2:10-32
Series: 1st and 2nd Samuel (2015)
Duration: 1 hr 2 mins 43 secs
Have you ever grappled with whether revenge and vengeance are always sins? Listen to this lesson to learn when they are wrong and when they are legitimate acts of justice. See what the Bible means when God says that vengeance is His and He will repay. Find out that what motivates us to want to get even with someone and be vindictive is always arrogance. Learn that instead of personal vengeance we should put the individual who has wronged us in God’s hands and apply love and forgiveness.
