Rebuke - February 1, 2026 - Bro. John H.

A rebuke is often received in a negative light, however when received in a positive way, it is helpful in our walk and service to God and others. We should receive or give a rebuke with humility and not let the message be diminished by the flaws of the messenger. This exhortation explores these themes through the story of Shimei cursing David in 2 Samuel 16 — where despite being fully justified in silencing Shimei, David showed remarkable restraint, recognizing that God might be speaking through even a hostile messenger. Drawing on Solomon's wisdom from Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, the talk reminds us that open rebuke is better than hidden love, and that a wise person welcomes correction while a fool rejects it. With personal reflections on being "coachable," the lesson encourages us to carry each other's burdens gently as we walk together toward the Kingdom.
