God's Word, my notes: II Samuel 21

A Generation of Giant Killers

Click here to read II Samuel 21:15-22

I. Because the need was great

II. Because the Lord is watching

III. Because the Word is true

IV. Because the cause is right

We don't battle against people today we battle the spiritual world.

The enemy is opposing God's anointed

IT'S ABOUT JESUS!

Global needs should motivate us. But not be the only focus.

The Lord is watching.

God sees, God knows, God rewards - let that be our motivation to serve - who cares about recognition.

Contradictions? No - possible answers in opposing

1. There could have been two Goliaths

2. Elhanan could have been another name for David

3. Cross reference

- I Chronicles 25: Hebrew reads that Elhanan killed a brother of Goliath

II Samuel 3:13

The cause is the Lamb/Light of God

The High Cost of Cheap Grace

Click here to read II Samuel 21:1-14

I. Not knowning the seriousness of sin.

God brought the sin of saul to light - not David.

II. Not knowning the sobriety of atonement

We were redeemed with the blood of Christ

- Dont take that lightly

III. Not knowing the significance of repentance

David is not atoning for the sin

- But david did see the signficance of the sin

IV. Not knowing the special nature of the promise

How precious John 3:16 truly is. Don't forget it.

V. Not knowing the sorrow of death

Death is an enemy and is unnatural - death should be murded.

We may respond to the text negatively because of our belief of cheap grace.

The remedy of cheap grace is the Gospel.

We minimize the cross and the Gospel.
