Second Samuel 13--The Aftermath
Season 22 Episode 81
In this message, Pastor Duane Roberts walks through the painful consequences of David’s household sin as recorded in 2 Samuel 13. After Amnon’s assault of Tamar, the aftermath reveals a family unraveling under silence, anger, and division. David fails to act with justice, leaving Tamar broken, Amnon unrepentant, and Absalom embittered. Absalom’s festering resentment eventually erupts into vengeance, which sets into motion years of betrayal, rebellion, and heartache for David’s family.
Pastor Roberts emphasizes that sin never stays isolated—it ripples outward, damaging relationships, trust, and even future generations. Yet even in the brokenness, God’s Word points us toward healing, forgiveness, and the hope of restoration in Christ. The message challenges listeners to confront sin rather than ignore it, to seek reconciliation rather than revenge, and to trust God’s justice over taking matters into their own hands.
