This week at Mission City, Pastor Phil takes us into 2 Samuel 24 as we close out the life of David with a powerful reminder: will we live self-reliant or God-reliant? Even in his later years, David fell into the trap of pride, placing his confidence in numbers and strength rather than in the Lord. But through David’s failure, we see the greater story of God’s mercy, His sovereignty over our sin, and the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus that breaks the plague of death once and for all.
If you’ve ever wrestled with self-reliance—whether in your marriage, finances, health, or spiritual walk—this message calls us back to humble dependence on God.
