This sermon was preached on 07/23/23 by Elder Tim Skaar.
Last week we started a mini series on the mediatorial work of Christ. That is, the work of Christ as the mediator between God and Man. I Timothy 2:5 reads, "There is only one God and only one mediator between God and Man, the man Christ Jesus." Mediator comes from words that mean, "in the middle," Christ came as the man in the middle. Ane, He came as the only one capable and willing to deal with the mess that is in the middle of the relationship between God and His people. That mess is sin. Sin separates us from the holy God. We saw that we could not overestimate the gap and distances between us nor could we overstate the misery in this life and the misery of hell forevermore that comes to man because of this separation.
Christ came as the man in the middle to take away the sin that is in the middle of God and His people. II Corininthians 5:17 says that God "made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us that we could become the righteousness of God in Him." This week we continue to look at the work of Christ as our only mediator between us and God.
Jesus comes between God and His people. He represents us by living the life we were commanded to live and by dying the death we were condemned to die. He takes all the sin that comes between us upon Himself and pays the debt it demands in full, leaving nothing that can ever come between us and our Savior.
As we continue to consider the mediatorial work of Christ, we will look at how Christ fulfills three offices. God set up the offices of Prophet, Priest and King from creation and then further defined those offices as the nation of Israel was formed, not only to provide needed structure of Israel to flourish as God's nation, but primarily to provide the needed mediation that brought reconciliation between God and Israel that they may flourish in communion and union with God!
This week we begin a six-week mini-series on the mediatorial offices of Christ. We will use the scriptures as well as the Reformed Creeds to show how Christ is our Prophet Priest and King, and how each of these offices serves to mediate between God and Man for man's good and God's glory!
This week our Elder Ron Hughes is teaching out of Acts to tie together how God is at work in ALL THINGS throughout history. Looking at Paul's first recorded sermon we will survey the scriptures to see God moving, and then focus particularly on the resurrection of Christ from the dead and it's implications for us today.

The last story of the books of Samuel is found in II Samuel 24. We are considering it over two weeks. Last week we looked at II Samuel 24:1-14 - "The Worse than Senseless Census", and we will consider the final half this Sunday, II Samuel 24:15-25 - "The Better than Great Grace."
In this, the last story in the book of Samuel, King David calls for a census to be taken of all the land. How many do we have? How many valiant warriors? Did David call for the census in order to boast in numbers, or perhaps in order to make sure he had enough troops to defeat his enemies? Whatever the reason, David's nephew and military commander, Joab, had objected. However, King David overruled and the census was taken.
Immediately after hearing the results of the census, a task that took nine months and 20 days, David knew that he had sinned greatly against God by calling for the census. God's wrath had already been stirred by the rebellion of His people. God's wrath was now further stirred by the sin of David's census.
Come and see why the call for the census was worse than senseless. Will the great sin of the people and of their king mark the end for Israel? This final story of the book of Samuel brings the greatest warning, judgment, and death...come join us, this week, for the surprise ending to the book of Samuel!
The Book of II Samuel comes to a close with the hard story of David's foolish census. How do we make sense of this difficult story? Is there grace to be seen in such a violent narrative?
This sermon was preached by Pastor John Boyte on 06/11/23.
This week we will be looking at how God works mighty things through ordinary men. As we close out the book of II Samuel the theme of God's work through sinful man is carried through.
This sermon was preached by Pastor John Boyte.
What can we do while we wait on the Lord? the Bible is clear that the calling of the Christian is to wait on the Lord, yet that is a hard task! By looking to David's faith and Christ's fulfillment we can learn how God intends for His people to endure while they wait.
This sermon was preached by Pastoral Intern Henry Holmberg on 05/28/23
Often in the Bible we are told who we are before being told what we should do. God has saved us through grace alone, and He continues to sanctify us through grace alone. We are, however, charged to live into our holy identity, to "not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind" (Romans 12:2). The Beatitudes roughly follow this pattern as each one informs the other seven. Now that Christ has shown us the blessedness of spiritual poverty, He leads us to pour ourselves out in mercy to our brothers and sisters, seeking unity from pure motives. As we strive for this, we trust in Him to accomplish it.

This week we look at the final song David wrote to the People of Israel. From this final poem, we can glean the major themes of David's life and his beliefs in the covenant keeping God!
This Sermon was Preached by Pastor John Boyte on 05/14/2023
In the middle of David's Song, David declares, "The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness...I was also blameless toward Him, and I kept myself from my sin." Many say that David's Song has, as its climax, David's prideful boasting of his own goodness. They see it as David's expression of having earned all the blessings and deliverances God had given him.
However, read in context, the theme of David's Song could not be more different! David's Song is focused entirely on making his and Israel's boast in the Lord. In fact, David's statement of his righteousness and blameless ways speaks, not to the boast of David, but to the power of God's redemption.
The work of Christ truly transforms David. As David is confronted with the depths of his sin, he is moved to confess his sin before the Lord. The Lord responds by sending a message through the prophet, Nathan, "Your sins are forgiven, you shall not die." With David's sins covered, he is righteous and blameless before the Lord! David sees himself as God sees him - as a purified, washed clean by the precious blood of the Lamb, child of God.
This week we will look at the final section of David's Song where we will see "God's Unending Curtain Call and Our Unending Thanks."
II Samuel 22:32-51 - Teaching Outline:
-
The Source of David's Strength (vv. 32-37)
-
The Extent of David's Victory (vv. 38-46)
-
The Unending Curtain Call (vv. 47-51)
My prayer is that you read and meditate on this passage some in preparation for our considering it together this coming Sabbath day! Where shall we be if we neglect such a great salvation!
This week we take a deep dive into the "problem" of David proclaiming his own righteousness as grounds to revive the blessings of the Lord.
This sermon was preached by Pastor John Boyte on 04/30/23.
The book of Samuel opens with Hannah's song and closes with David's song in II Samuel 22. Hannah's song anticipates all the happenings in the book of Samuel. It also anticipates David's song as well as the coming and work of David's greater son, Jesus. We can say that Hannah's song had a nearer fulfillment in the life of David and a greater fulfillment in Jesus Christ.
Hannah's song ended,
"He will guard the feet of His saints,
But the wicked shall be silent in darkness.
For by strength no man shall prevail.
From heaven He will thunder against them.
The Lord will judge the ends of the earth.
He will give strength to His king,
And exalt the horn of His anointed."
In the first section of David's song, (verses 1-19), David reflects upon the way that God sovereignly orchestrated everything David experienced. Not only had God intervened throughout his life, He also planned and purposed all the details of it. David's song reveals both his theology and his heart, and as Hannah's song, it also points us beyond David to David's greater son, Jesus. All that Jesus went through was also divinely orchestrated, planned and purposed, for His glory and for His people's salvation. As we meditate on this song, we would do well to learn from David that our times also are in His hands.
The second section of David's song (verses 20-31) is often misunderstood as David's boasting in his own righteousness and pride. However, read carefully, in the greater context of the immediate verses and chapter, as well as in the context of the book of Samuel and the entirety of scripture, we, like David, will be moved to give all glory for our salvation to the Lord!
This often misunderstood section is not about David's pride, but is a great testimony of God's powerful forgiveness and redemption. God's work of salvation actually transforms the heart and moves men to walk in integrity and holiness. No, this isn't to be read as David's pride, but as God's glorious and transforming work of justification and sanctification.
"But the Lord was my support. He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me."
After finishing the main section of II Samuel, we have now entered the appendix or epilogue of the book. In this section of II Samuel, chapters 21-24, the author recounts some events that occurred throughout the course of David's reign. These stories provide concluding perspectives and in a sense, a summary and climax of David's reign.
In this light, chapters 21-24 should be considered a valuable commentary on the book, revealing insight into key events from David's life. This perspective helps explain the interworkings of God's economy and the nature of His sovereign rule throughout David's reign (Deut. 17:14-22).
Chapter 22 is the Song of David. The book of Samuel opens with a song (Hannah's song in chapter 1) and closes with a song (David's song here in chapter 22). It is not uncommon for extended scriptural narratives to end with a song of praise. It also is fitting, after hearing of all the Lord's faithful work, that we would be moved to sing, wonder and give thanks.
At the end of chapter 20, David is nearing the end of his life. He is not as active as he used to be and thus he seems to take the chance to reflect on his life through this song.
As you read II Samuel 22, you may find the text sounds familiar. With just a few variations, II Samuel is repeated in full in Psalm 18. The way the Lord works to emphasize things in scripture is often through repetition. So as there words appear in scripture twice, we will spend the next three weeks carefully studying and meditating upon them.
In the first section (verses 1-19), David reflects upon the way that God sovereignly orchestrated everything David experienced. Not only had God often intervened in his life, He also planned and purposed every detail. David's song reveals both his theology and his heart. As we meditate on this song, we would do well to learn from David that our times also are in His hands.
Every text of scripture must be read in light of the incarnation, the cross, and theresurrection. Paul opens this glorious chapter of I Corinthians 15 thatdiscusses the truth and importance of Christ’s resurrection by saying:
“Now I make known to you,brothers and sisters, the gospel which I preached to you, which you alsoreceived, in which you also stand, by which you also are saved, if you holdfirmly to the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. For Ihanded down to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christdied for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and thatHe was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.”
To some degree, every Biblical text should be read and preached in light of theresurrection. Thus, it is a common topic in church services (and rightfullyso). At Living Hope, we believe that we are commanded to preach the wholecounsel of God, and we strive to do that faithfully. However, there is noparticular instruction or command to have a specific “resurrection message” onEaster. Nonetheless, this Sunday we are excited to take the opportunity toconsider the benefits of Christ’s resurrection from a few select passages andthe Heidelberg Catechism #45.
While the church may talk often about the resurrection as the sign of Christ’s trueidentity, especially during our Easter season, we don’t always discuss thebenefits and consequences of the resurrection in much detail.
So, in preparation for our teaching and learning together, I would ask that youread I Corinthians 15, Romans 6, and the Heidelberg Catechism #45 thisweek.
In II Samuel 3:18, God promised, "By My servant David I will rescue My people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies." The final chapters of II Samuel, 21-24, serve as an epilogue - a commentary that provides a perspective and conclusion to the story.
The second story in the epilogue, II Samuel 21:15-22, recounts four stories of how even in David's old age God, through David and his men, rescued His people from the hands of the Philistine giants. As God continues to keep His covenant promises today, He still assures and grants His people victory over all the giant enemies of God and His people - Sin, Satan and Death - through King David's greater Son, Jesus!
The Famine was no ordinary famine. The situation in Israel had become quitedesperate. King David sought the Lord to determine if the sin of the nationmight lie behind it all. Was the famine a judgment from God? God's answer wasyes, the sin of past generations was now at the heart of the current situation.But was there anything that could be done to remove the curse before the wholenation perished? How could the past sins be atoned for? The suggested remedy seemeddrastic and cruel. How could God demand such? Could atonement for sin be abeautiful thing yet still so wretched and merciless? The story reveals thegood, the bad, and the ugly of breaking the covenant and the necessaryatonement to stay the judgment of God.
What is the story that you live out of? I love stories, and since I was a kid, I have loved to insert myself into the stories I read. This is all fun and entertaining, but when we start living out of stories that do not reflect what we read in the Word, we miss out on our blessed identity in Christ. Our invented stories move us away from mourning over the sin and evil in the world (and in our own lives). They can lead us to either the headlong pursuit of enjoyment or the doldrums of self-pity. In our invented stories, we see only our own agendas, the images of ourselves and our actions that win out over those of our neighbors. Our invented stories give us visions of the future in which we are blissfully self-satisfied with our achievements and our well-earned goodness.
The story that God wrote for Christ in eternity past was very different. Jesus is the eternally blessed man of sorrows. In His meekness, His zeal for His Father's house and His Father's will consumed Him. When He was hungry in the wilderness, He turned to the righteousness described in the Word of God, and He was satisfied. He did this for us and for our salvation, and He invites us to join Him in His story of mourning, meekness, and righteous hunger that will result in comfort, corporate glory, and righteous satisfaction as we live out our eternal union with Him.

As Paul closes his letter of encouragement to his friends in Philippi, he instructs them in contentment. The Philippians Church has proven themselves to be fellow ministers of the gospel, and generous benefactors to Paul over the years. Paul desires to both encourage them in their successes, and push them towards the "secret" to contentment that he has found. In looking at the conclusion to the book of Philippians, we can learn what biblical generosity is, and hear what Paul says is the "secret" to contentment in all circumstances.
This sermon was preached by Pastoral Intern Henry Holmberg on 03/12/23.
Chapters 15-18 of II Samuel recorded the awful rebellion of King David’s son, Absalom. For many years Absalom had simultaneously built up his own name and torn his father’s down. Absalom had for years been staging a coup to take over David’s throne and kingdom. In all of this, David’s reign was nearly destroyed and, along with it, the hope of God’s covenant promises.In chapter 19, the death of Absalom comes at the hands of David’s insubordinate, justice-at-all-costs commander, Joab. Absalom was brutally killed and justice served, but it came at the cost of Joab’s sinful rebellion and David’s lost love.Meanwhile, David returned to the throne, but not to Jerusalem. He and the troops began the journey home. They made it as far as Gilgal, but had not crossed back over the river Jordan. God had reestablished David as king, yet David and his followers were still in the wilderness, on the far side of the Jordan, with the promised land ahead.Though the Lord reestablished David as the chosen king and renewed His covenant promises to David and his people, still rebellion, sin, and sadness weighed heavily on all of Israel. David’s attempt to reunite God’s people in justice and love was riddled with conflict. It wasn’t so different than the war David had been fighting within--the war of justice and mercy for the son whom he loved, Absalom.This week, we will meet a new rebel, a sad woman, an old butcher, and a wise woman. This week also concludes the story of the rise, fall, and restoration of the Kingdom of Israel under the rule and reign of God’s chosen, King David. The rest of II Samuel, chapters 21-24, will be an epilogue, concluding remarks to the story of I & II Samuel.How will our story conclude? What will be the condition of the king and the kingdom? Will the kingdom be firmly established, will it struggle, or will it exist at all? Come and see.
Absalom’s revolt failed as he and 20,000 of his troops perished. Yet, the triumph came at a great cost to the kingdom. Many of those who had been deceived by Absalom and had thus revolted against David were now jockeying for position, in fear of the king's retribution. Some of David’s enemies were angry at him for killing their family and friends who fought against David. Thus, many of them wanted to keep David from reclaiming the kingdom. Meanwhile, David’s own troops felt discouragement and shame. They had risked everything to fight for the kingdom, yet even in their victory, it seemed that David would rather Absalom be alive even if it meant the death of all of them.The Kingdom was restored to David, yet it was anything but peaceful. Israel, the tribes of the north, and Judah, the two tribes of the south, were sharply divided. This week, we will examine the condition of the kingdom and consider both the response of the people and the king. Would the loving king exact justice on those who didn’t follow him or would he bestow mercy and love on them? As you prepare for worship, consider the similarities and differences between King David's return and the coming return of Christ the King of all Kings.
Absalom was King Davdi's son, but had also become his greatest enemy. Throughout most of Davdi's reign, by God's grace he served as a long, shepherd king. God has also shaped David into a king who was characterized by justice, righteousness, and truth. All of these were to be characteristics of God's coming Messiah; David displayed them all.Now, amidst the great conflict with his son Absalom, David faced one of the most difficult trails he had ever experienced. The immediate danger of the end of his reign would bring the apparent failure of God's promises and the doom of all of David's offspring. Yet still, another great conflict deeply troubled David. It was the conflict between carrying out justice or showing mercy to the son whom he loved. David loved Absalom and yet Absalom had done great evils against David and his kingdom.In the course of the battle, as Absalom flees from David's troops "his head caught fast in the oak, so he was left hanging between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him kept going."One of David's men saw the incident and showed mercy to Absalom as David had commanded. But Joab, upon hearing, had no such restraint. He took justice into his own hands, disregarding the commands of the king, and brutally killed Absalom.If love had won, it would have come at the cost of justice. But, even though justice won and the great enemy was killed, it came at the cost of disobedience and a lost love.Oh, that justice and mercy could meet. Oh that true justice could be served and still mercy given! There is only one place where that can happen...justice and mercy meet in the person of Jesus on the cross and with the crown.
Absalom was King David’s son but had also become his greatest enemy. Throughout most of David's reign, by God's grace, he had served as a loving, Shepherd king. God had also shaped David into a king characterized by justice, righteousness, and truth. All of these were to be characteristics of God’s coming Messiah; David displayed them all.
Now, amidst the great conflict with his son Absalom, David is faced with one of the most difficult trials he has ever experienced. The immediate danger of the end of his reign and the apparent failure of God’s promises was greater than ever. Yet, there was another great conflict within David--one that points to an even greater contention and deeper redemption. David loved Absalom, yet Absalom was a great enemy of David.
Will David set aside justice for the sake of his love for his son and let Absalom keep his life? Will David set aside his deep love for Absalom and have his enemy destroyed? Oh, that justice and mercy could meet. Can true justice be served while mercy is given? There is only one place where that can happen…justice and mercy meet in the person of Jesus on the cross and with the crown.
Absalom had rebelled and led an uprising against his father, King David. He then sought counsel from David's former faithful friend, Ahithophel. All, including King David, knew that Ahithophel's counsel was like the counsel of God. His plans always succeeded as intended. But David prayed that Ahithphel's counsel wouldn't succeed this time. The kingdom of God was at stake!The Lord answered David's prayer by moving Absalom to seek a second opinion from Hushai. in this, we see that God is at work in everything. Yet, though Absalom and the elders pick Hushai's plan, still it seemed to backfire leading to the pursuit to overtake and kill David. Things will move quickly as Hushai seeks to get word from the house of Absalom in time for David and Company to escape sure destruction. The counsel was thwarted, but the outcome may end up the same regardless. Join us as we see how God's plan and purposes unfold in the most unlikely, yet "normal" of ways.
This sermon was preached by Pastor John Boyte on 02/05/2023.
In II Samuel 15, upon hearing that Ahithophel defected to Absalom's side, David prayed that Ahithophel's counsel would fail so that God's kingdom may succeed. In the second half of chapter 16, Hushai, King David's faithful friend, acted upon the king's plan for him to enter Absalom's presence and serve as an inside man for David. This plan began the unfolding of God's response to David's prayer in chapter 15.Would the Lord answer David's prayers? Would the Lord be able and willing to keep His promises to David and all his descendants? Although Hushai had returned to Jerusalem and initiated the plan against Absalom, it still seemed that Ahithophel's plan was winning the day.As we continue, we will see how God uses David's loyal friend and spy, Hushai, to frustrate Ahithophel's counsel in a most unlikely way. We will see God's sovereignty on display as both Hushai, a loyal friend, and Ahithophel, a traitor, act under God's sovereign hand to accomplish His good purposes.This story will then point us to one about a thousand years later: the betrayal and death of David's greater Son, Jesus. By Jesus' act of laying down His life for His people, God's sovereign plan and mighty hand brought the fulfillment of our redemption.
