SERMON | Warrior Poet | Pt. 26 'The Terror of Deafening Silence in the Face of Injustice' | 2 Samuel

Sep 8, 2024    John Murphy

This sermon focuses on the painful realities of injustice and silence, using the story of Tamar, Amnon, and Absalom from 2 Samuel 13. Tamar's cries for help after being violated by her brother are tragically ignored, first by Amnon and then by her family, illustrating the devastating effects of silence in the face of wrongdoing. Pastor John Murphy challenges listeners to reflect on their own responses to injustice, whether they resonate with Tamar's pain, David's passivity, or even Amnon's wrongdoing. It concludes by offering hope through Jesus, who sees, heals, and brings true justice, offering forgiveness, restoration, and a new identity to all who turn to Him.
