Glory in the Ruins: How God Sees You

Jun 30, 2024  •  The Rev. Billy Cerveny

David's lament for Saul, the king who had hunted him, opens a window onto how God sees his people. From 2 Samuel 1, the sermon contrasts the Amalekite who expected a reward for killing Saul with David's surprising mercy. The ruined palace of Diocletian in Split, Croatia, and Francis Schaeffer's phrase about glorious ruins show that God sees beyond our brokenness to the beauty he is rebuilding.
