II. The Wise Woman
III. The Remaining Characters
Do you know what the sacred narrative involving the wise woman of Tekoah in II Samuel 14 means? This sermon exposes what is really going on there and it is not pretty! But it is instructive, highly instructive, and disturbing ...
Roger Ellsworth on II Samual 14:1-24: ”God’s people today must be on constant guard against fallacious reasoning that makes wrong seem right. David knew what God’s Word demanded in the case of Absalom, but he was willing to skirt round it because of clever reasoning. How many of us do the same! We know God’s Word speaks clearly on certain issues, but it is ever so tempting to ignore what it says because of the clever reasoning of our day.” (The Shepherd King, p. 235).
