The Paralysis of Passivity

In this sermon, Pastor Mark explores the biblical narrative of 2 Samuel 13-15, focusing on the devastating consequences of King David's passivity in dealing with his son Amon's sin against Tamar. He delves into themes of justice, fatherhood, and the importance of active leadership, contrasting David's inaction with the proactive sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Through a call to action, Mark encourages fathers, men, and believers to embrace active faith and righteousness, rejecting passivity in all forms.
