2 Samuel 19 - Kingdom Minded

About this episode

Pastor Paul discusses the importance of prioritizing God's kingdom over personal interests through the encounters of David's return to Jerusalem.

Why is it so easy to let personal priorities push God’s kingdom to the sidelines? As David returns to Jerusalem, Pastor Paul walks us through a series of revealing encounters that expose the difference between people driven by self-interest and those who genuinely seek the kingdom of God. You’ll see how Shimei, Mephibosheth, and Barzillai each respond to the king in strikingly different ways, and what their choices teach us about loyalty, repentance, and true devotion. This passage challenges us to examine our hearts and place God’s purposes ahead of our own so we can live fully kingdom-minded.
