This message dives into 2 Samuel 3:32–33 and David’s lament over Abner to ask a piercing question: do we “die as a fool dies” by stepping outside God’s protection? Tracing Abner’s fatal misstep just beyond the gates of Hebron—a city of refuge—the sermon paints a vivid picture of how close we can be to safety yet lose everything when we ignore where we’re standing. With a modern illustration of “sanctuary” that brings the ancient text to life, you’ll see how David’s mission to unite Israel collided with Joab’s thirst for revenge, and why spiritual awareness, wisdom, and timing matter for every disciple.

This is a call to trade personal agenda for Kingdom unity, popularity for purity, and compromise for the covering of God. Aimed at students and adults alike, it confronts the drift that lures us inches past God’s boundary, reminds us that repentance and the blood of Jesus are not optional add-ons, and urges us to come back under Christ’s lordship. Watch to be stirred toward humility, holiness, and healing.
