From Earth To Glory - Part 1

Pastor Chris Gordon preaches on Psalm 3, drawing a contrast with Psalm 2: where Psalm 2 offers a heavenly perspective on God's sovereign reign, Psalm 3 brings us face to face with earthly suffering, using David's flight from his traitorous son Absalom as a picture of what it means to cry out to God at the lowest point of life. David's experience typologically foreshadows Christ, who was likewise exiled, betrayed, and falsely condemned, yet vindicated by God and raised to the heavenly throne. The psalm's comfort for believers is that God does not merely declare victory from heaven but is personally present as a shield, lifting our heads in affliction and granting peace that surpasses understanding to all who trust in His Son.
