Living on a Prayer — Part Two

Evening Service
Oct 10, 2021

God uses all things for His glory—even as He used Absalom’s insurrection against His anointed king, David. In this sermon from 2 Samuel 16, Alistair Begg explains how Hushai the Archite, David’s loyal friend and spy, and Ahithophel, a traitor to the king, both acted under God’s sovereign hand. A thousand years later, Jesus would face a similar betrayal, and in His death, God’s ultimate plan—our redemption—would be fulfilled.

TOPICS: Biblical Figures, Jesus Christ, Sovereignty of God

2 Samuel 16:1-23
