The Kingdom That Never Happened – 1981

Pastor Jack draws from the tragic story of Absalom in 2 Samuel to explore how unforgiveness, unsubmittedness, and unrepentance can destroy even the greatest potential. In this message from a Men’s Growth Seminar, Pastor Jack teaches that while Absalom possessed phenomenal gifts and was likely David’s chosen heir, his refusal to forgive Amnon, his flight to Geshur in rebellion, and his unrepentant heart led to his destruction. Pastor Jack applies these principles to men today, showing how God’s kingdom flows through men who embrace forgiveness, submit to Christ’s lordship and to brothers, and walk in continual repentance.
