Abner, the Kingmaker — Part Two - Evening Sermon

Evening Service
Nov 8, 2020

The Lord’s ways are undeniably mysterious. Even so, they are sure, and He accomplishes all He sets out to do. As King Saul’s dynasty waned, Abner, once David’s enemy, negotiated and consulted to shift his allegiance to the rising king. Behind it all, though, God continued to work out His plan through imperfect people in less-than-ideal circumstances. Alistair Begg examines 2 Samuel 3, pointing out that David’s grace toward this unsavory character prefigures the peace offered to us through Christ Jesus.

Topics: Biblical Figures, God’s Will, Sovereignty of God, Christ as King

2 Samuel 3:12-21
