Why does betrayal cut so deeply when it comes from your own family? In this teaching, Pastor Paul walks through Absalom’s growing deceit—from his calculated return to Jerusalem to the quiet conspiracy that steals the hearts of Israel—and shows how David’s passivity creates the perfect environment for rebellion. You’ll see how pride, manipulation, and unresolved sin fracture a kingdom and devastate relationships. Most of all, you’ll gain insight into the dangers of enabling destructive behavior and the strength that comes from humbly trusting God when accusations rise and loyalty is tested.
