When God releases a blessing our responsibility is to step into it. I wrote a quote a a few days ago from Owen Carr that speaks to the situation David found himself in II Samuel chapters 8 and 9.
“God first gives a man a BURDEN to see what must be done. Then He gives a VISION to show what can be done. Then He gives a FAITH to believe that it can be done. The one thing God doesn’t give is the DARING to do what must be done. You have to provide that yourself.” Owen Carr
Here’s what I see in today’s chapters:
II Samuel chapter 8 sermon topics/ titles:
1.When God’s Blessing Means War: II Sam. 8 : 1-3
2. Shutting Down the Enemy: II Sam. 8 :4
3. When God Fills the Coffers: II Sam. 8: 7-18
II Samuel chapter 9 sermon topics/ title:
1. Fulfilling Your Vows: II Sam. 9:1-13
2. When Getting Rid Of Idols Seems To Leave You With No Blessing: II SAm. 9:1-6
3. The Restoration of Blessing: II Sam. 9:7-13
Now tell me what you see. 🙂
Reinventing the We'll 
“Shutting Down the Enemy” this is always a good thing. Pastor J, your sermon topics are always so good. They make go back and re-read the verses again. Thank you, for reinforcing the word. Here’s what I saw in these chapters.
II Samuel 8
1. A force to be reckoned with. II Sam 8:1-5
2. Claim victory with each step! II Sam 8:6
3. Oh, to have the favor of God. II Sam 8:14
II Samuel 9
1. I shall treat him as my own. II Sam 9:1-6
2. A promise that was not forgotten. II Sam 9:7
3. Please join me at the King’s table. II Sam 9:9-12
“Please Join Me At the King’s Table” now there is an evangelistic sermon if ever I heard one!
