SERMON | Warrior Poet | Pt. 22 'Courage in the Face of Adversity' | 2 Samuel 10

Jul 14, 2024    John Murphy

In 2 Samuel 10, David's gesture of sending emissaries to console the new Ammonite king, Hanun, is misinterpreted, leading to humiliation and subsequent conflict. Joab prepares for battle against the Ammonites and their Aramean allies, demonstrating courage and strategic planning, which results in victory despite initial setbacks. The sermon draws lessons on facing adversity with courage, living for a higher purpose, and trusting in God's sovereignty, exemplified by both Joab and Jesus Christ.
