Podcasts about bathsheeba

Consistency and faithfulness in our faith and life tend to be underrated qualities, but the Lord greatly values them, especially because they dictate how we live. When David sinned with Bathsheeba, his character and behaviour were clearly altered, marked by emotional instability and irrational decisions. The fact that the devil tried to seize on that weakness shows how vital it is for us to ask the Spirit to convict us and to show true repentance by "building altars".  Video of this service is also available:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLw8GmjBw8I

Today, we begin our new sermon series, Confessions: Erasing Shame and Experiencing Renewal, by looking at 2 Samuel to better understand the important role confession plays in our lives. We'll begin considering this important topic by looking at the sin of King David when he gave into temptation with a woman named Bathsheba. A young man named Nathan is used by God to help David see that he had sinned against God. Listen as Pastor Rob Bentz shares the first message, When God Confronts Our Sin. May your heart be open to what the Lord may be confronting in your life.

Gary Miracle is an author and a speaker who passionately believes in the power of storytelling and how it unites us and spurs us on when life is tragically hard, and also reminds us who we are and who God made us to be. In this episode, he shares his story of growing immersed in church culture on Sunday but then suffered from an identity crisis the rest of the week as he chased perfection, and changed personas in order to be affirmed by anyone and everyone. Finally, later in his life and career, now a married man with kids, Gary reached his breaking point and reached out to his friend Bart Millard of the band “Mercy's Me” who began to disciple Gary and guide him to a life-changing and intimate relationship with Jesus. Not long after, in December 2019, Gary went from celebrating Christmas with his family feeling a little under the weather to being on his literal deathbed on New Year's Eve. The first week of 2020 Gary's life hung in the balance as teams of doctors worked on him and cared for him, and his loved ones stormed heaven for him. On January 10th, 2020, Gary opened his eyes, alive, but his body would never be the same, and his limbs were dying. Gary shares his journey of his 107 days stay in the hospital, reentering into his life without his legs and hands, and how God met him in all of it in our time together, but he goes more in-depth in his book No More Bad Days: Trading the Pursuit of Perfection for the Gift of Grace. Gary is passionate about choosing to truly live instead of just being alive and doing that authentically with others. We were made in the image of a communal God, and as we face the intensity and heartbreak of our lives, He provides people to walk through hard things with us. However, that call to live in community requires risk and humility, but as Gary reminds us, when life is at its lowest moments, people God gives us can echo hope back to us. This is a message for anyone who needs to know there is more left for them in this life. This is a message for those who need to remember God is still in the business of miracles. This is a message for someone who is walking through horrible circumstances but needs to be reminded that God still has good for them. You matter, and your story matters.

David committed grave sin when he had an adulterous affair with Bathsheba and then had her husband killed to cover it up. God forgave him, but that forgiveness did not take away the consequences of his sin.

David's sin of self-indulgence had tremendous consequences for him and all those who were touched by it. He committed adultery and murder, and the dysfunction it caused was great. God was gracious to forgive, but David still had to deal with the consequences.

Is Bathsheeba a victum of her circumstance or is she conniving? Join Liz and Shelsea as they talk through different viewpoints. In the end, who does God say she is?

Prov. 6:16  There are six things the Lord hates,     seven that are detestable to him: 17          haughty eyes,         a lying tongue,         hands that shed innocent blood, 18          a heart that devises wicked schemes,         feet that are quick to rush into evil, 19          a false witness who pours out lies         and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.   1.  Haughty eyes:   2.  A lying tongue:      3.  hands that shed innocent blood:    4.  A heart that devises wicked schemes:  Throughout Scripture, God reminds us that He alone searches the heart.  God knows what we think and he sees the plans and purposes that are conceived in the souls of all people.    Scheming is like streaming… I don't mean as in streaming movies or downloads… I mean as in no one just decides “hey Im'a gonna scheme some bad stuff today”.  it starts out as a trickle… then a small stream, then a river and finally a flood. King David is the perfect example of a heart gone bad… and remember he was called a man after Gods own heart, but on one particular day he got it all wrong. He is supposed to be out killing bad guys… doing his job. But he takes a day off, he is kicking back … next thing you know he is a peeping tom. Checking out Bathsheeba and Sheba Bathing! next thing you know David is Wango Tango with Bathsheeba. Now she is pregnant… oh this is just the beginning of Davids scheming it went from a trickle to a stream and getting ready to be full on river/flood. Now David schemes to get her husband to come home and sleep with her, but it don't go that way…. SO DAVID KEEPS SCHEMING… now he kills Uriah… and in time the bottom falls out. David loses his son, loses respect, loses the favor of the prophet and his whole family from that point on gets poisoned and reaps nothing but calamity.  So if God hates scheming… what's the opposite? Well the opposite of scheme is Naive - now being naive doesn't mean you blind, stupid or simple minded. In this context it means naive as in trusting … you do what you can and let God do the rest. You are naive yet excited as to what he is going to do. You have planned, you have prayed and you trust… now some would call that naive… yep, but it is prepared naivety.  Prov. 16:9 We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps. Proverbs 20:24 A man's steps are from the LORD, so how can anyone understand his own way? You are naive in that you don't know or always understand your outcome, but you are confident in your trusting in God.  about 8 years ago I was fired from a church… long story, I did not deserve it - does anybody? LOL, but I truly didn't and in fact the pastor who fired me was a few months later fired for her behavior…anywhoooo I was asked to start preaching at a very small methodist church… none of this is making sense to me. All my youth groups as a youth pastor were bigger than this church, but I naively took the steps… Long story short, 8 years in I FREAKING LOVE MY CHURCH. I love the people, I love the location, I love the ministry. We are growing and in fact are cutting out and breaking new spiritual ground… we are now poised for a huge growth spurt and spiritual impact… I took steps- didn't know where I was going - trusted God and now I am reaping the benefits of a life of naivety. 

This week on the Other Six Podcast, we are excited to have special guest Matt Aldridge, our Student Pastor here at Vaughn Forest Church, join us. Chad, Matt, and Matt (yes, it does get a little confusing, but it's also really fun) have a great discussion about the Student Ministry Spring Retreat this past weekend and we get to know Matt Aldridge a little bit better. We also talk about Adam's message from Sunday on David and Bathsheeba (warning: some adult discussion is on this one!) and the storms we take ourselves into in our lives as our Weathering Life's Storms series wraps up.

It is the season of Advent! This Sunday we examine the genealogy of Jesus as found in Matthew 1:1-17. In particular, we look at the stories of the four woman mentioned: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheeba. These stories remind us that "Generation to Generation, There is Room for Every Story." Our hymns are "O come, all ye faithful," "O come, O come, Immanuel," and "There's a wideness in God's mercy." Lyrics are here: https://hymnary.org/text/o_come_all_ye_faithful_joyful_and_triump, https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/occasions/christmas/lyrics-o-come-o-come-emmanuel-origins/ (these are close, but not quite what we sing), and https://hymnary.org/text/theres_a_wideness_in_gods_mercy. We also sing "There is more love somewhere," with these words: There is more hope somewhere/ There is more hope somewhere/ I'm gonna keep on till I find it./ There is more hope somewhere.

About this series: In this 10-part series we look to show how counter-cultural Jesus is, and to give confidence that he will help those who follow him to do likewise. Jesus was God-in-flesh. He was (and is) the purest, most loving and truth-filled human being the world has ever known. And yet what he taught, how he lived and the kingdom he inaugurated directly confronted the human culture in which he spent his years on earth. He was truly counter-cultural. And he is no less counter-cultural in every part of the world today. To follow Jesus is to embark on a lifelong journey of counter-cultural transformation in which we can expect that being a disciple will lead us towards challenge, temptation and costly decisions at every turn. It's to this that he calls every single person who follows him.  It's a lifestyle: - That requires obedience to him above all else. - That will lead us into conflict with the world, the flesh and the devil. - That witnesses to the world of his greatness. The goal of the first series this year - Just Jesus - was to spend time specifically focussed on the person and work of Jesus. And the goal this time is again to look at Jesus - how he was (and is) counter-cultural. So we'll be speaking about Jesus - showing how his teaching and actions were counter-cultural in his day and then applying it to our day. We'll be asking how we submit to his words and live like him in a world where his values are so dramatically opposed to the values of our culture. About this talk: Matthew 20:20-28 While there are some remarkable exceptions, there's something in the human condition that wants to be served, appreciated, recognised. Having just said to his disciples that he would be “delivered over,” “condemn[ed] to death,” “mocked and flogged and crucified”, James and John come to Jesus with their mother who asks an audacious and ill-thought-out question because she wants them to be served, appreciated and recognised: “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.”  In one sense, they could be praised for the faith they have in him - they clearly believe that Jesus was going to be a king of some sort. In their thinking presumably that would be a renewed kingdom of Israel, based in Jerusalem (cf. Acts 1:6). But they've completely misunderstood the nature of Jesus the king and of the kingdom Jesus is inaugurating. His reply - “You don't know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” - is met with more confidence, “Yes we can,” which simply serves to underline their lack of understanding. Not surprisingly, the other disciples are indignant with James and John, but that only betrays the fact that they were not so dissimilar. Jesus uses this as the perfect teaching opportunity: “You've seen how the Gentile rulers and high officials make the most of their position; well, I do it differently. I measure greatness through service; things are reversed in this kingdom. And you know that has to be the way, because that's how I, the king in this kingdom, live and die.”  In Jesus' day: Status, power and a good reputation were of great importance to the religious elites of Jesus' day. It wasn't only the rulers of the Gentiles and their high officials who loved to exercise their positions of influence for selfish reasons; the Jewish leaders were guilty of the same and Jesus had strong words for them too. In the background were many Old Testament instances of power being misused and abused. One might think of David using his position to seduce Bathsheeba, Solomon breaking God's command and gaining 700 wives and 300 concubines or the many kings of Israel and Judah who led the people astray, using their power for their own shortsighted benefit. In our day: ‘Power corrupts; and absolute power corrupts absolutely.' It remains as difficult today as it ever has to use power with humility, to use position and influence for the benefit of others. Whether it's politicians, business leaders, church leaders or any other person of influence, the challenge to serve rather than be served continues. Power may be a dangerous thing, but Jesus shows a way of using it selflessly, setting the pattern for us, as is clear from his words in Matthew 20.  To a world who sees everyone, including the church, being out to get something for their own benefit, our challenge is to use our wealth, possessions, time and talents for the benefit of others. If we could practise what Peter instructs - to “use whatever gift you have received to serve others” - it would have an immense impact on the people around us and demonstrate that the counter-cultural life in God's kingdom is one of using our advantages to benefit others and where greatness is redefined as servanthood.

We'll be asking how we submit to his words and live like him in a world where his values are so dramatically opposed to the values of our culture. About this talk: Matthew 5:27-30 The Old Testament sexual ethic said that marriage (a one man, one woman covenant) is the sole God-given context for a sexual relationship. So when Jesus says here, “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery,'” he's referring to the creation narrative and to the seventh commandment (Exodus 20, Deuteronomy 5) - and all the subsequent teaching. There are many stories of sexual activity outside the boundaries set by God in the Old Testament - from David's adultery with Bathsheeba to the rape of Tamar to Solomon's 700 wives and 300 concubines. All of which shows that adhering to those boundaries has been an age-old challenge. So why was this command given? For at least three inter-related reasons: because sexual intimacy is a serious thing in a way unlike other human contact; because it expresses a unity that only makes sense in marriage; and because it pictures the exclusive relationship between God and his people. Sexual intimacy with someone who is not your spouse unites that person to someone other than their spouse (see 1 Corinthians 6:16) and thus breaks the marriage covenant. Far from downplaying sex, the Christian faith elevates it. In a world that sees sex as little more than the satisfying of a physical appetite, God, who designed us a sexual beings, sees it as an intimate, covenantal act. The action he recommends in order to avoid committing adultery in the heart sounds extreme indeed! But out of love for us, he warns us to do whatever is necessary to avoid the dire consequences of adultery. Although v 28 is addressed to men, it is clear that the command applies to both men and women. Whether the entrance of sin is through the eye with which you see or the hand with which you touch, the best course of action is to ruthlessly “gouge it out” or “cut it off.”  In Jesus' day: The Rabbis gave a limited, narrow interpretation of the seventh commandment - as long as one avoided the physical act of adultery, one had kept that law. But as Jesus so often did, he here exposes their convenient interpretation and raises the stakes to include the attitude God wants and the intent behind the original command. “Do not commit adultery” was always meant to be a heart matter, not simply a physical matter; it is surely true that if people keep adultery from their hearts, they will certainly keep it from their conduct. In our day: We could sum up our day as suffering from sexual saturation and sexual confusion:  Sexual saturation. Huge businesses are ploughing vast sums of money into shaping our view of sex and sexuality. From tv to adverts to news to the easy availability of pornography, we are bombarded with the message that sexual fulfilment is one of the key points of life. Sexual confusion. A crisis of epidemic proportions is currently being experienced by people of all ages, but especially the young. While much progress has been made in helping people to be open and authentic, the encouragement to question one's gender and sexuality has led to immense confusion. In that context, Jesus' instruction that, “anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart” is probably one of his most counter-cultural statements which calls us to radical purity that may seem strange to the world around us, but may increasingly be attractive too.

One glance at something you shouldn't have not a problem. The second glance is what gets us in trouble. None of it is worth the consequences.

Today I have the absolute pleasure of sharing my conversation with Bible teacher and author Elizabeth Woodson. Elizabeth is a beam of sunshine and hope, and the light of Christ just radiates from her smile and her passion for people knowing and loving Jesus. She shares with me her journey into full time ministry, first on various church staffs such as leading singles ministry at Dr. Tony Evans' church and then was most recently on staff at Village Church, teaching, equipping leaders, and doing theological equipping with the body,, and now she is pursuing her full time personal ministry. She is passionate about deep theology for every day folks because life is hard and God's word is a lamp to our feet in every dark, foreign or uncertain land. Her first book just recently released, and speaks directly into that space. It's called Embrace Your Life: How to Find Joy When the Life You Have is Not What You Hoped For. Elizabeth shares so powerfully about practically walking out longing and lament in your life, and still experiencing the gift of joy and an abundant life. Her beautiful book looks into the Word of God about how to take our longing before the Lord and to work it out with Him, and then figure out the next step even when we don't know what to do or how to feel. She offers some practical ways to process this in this conversation and it's just so insightful and full of experiential wisdom and Spirit led truth.  We cover so much ground in this episode. We talk about how to better love our single friends in the church, encouragement for pursuing mentorship and discipleship within the body of Christ, and also for those who are not currently part of a church, why it matters to have right theology, and to know who God truly is, and so much more. This word is a powerful one that carries the need for the salvation of Easter and the lament and longing of the Lord's second coming because it is a hot. mess. down. here. But there is joy in the longing. There is beauty to be found in the middle of the story and I cannot wait for you to hear it.  I'd love to hear if this episode resonated with you! It means so much to me and to our guests when you share this podcast with the people in your life or to hear how the Lord is intersecting your story. Don't forget, friend. No matter where you are, you matter. Your story matters. “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Today's episode sponsor: Tony Crabtree Homes with Exit Realty Home buyer guide: http://bit.ly/buyersguidecrabtreehomes Seller guide: http://bit.ly/sellerguidecrabtreehomes Facebook Instagram Website YouTube   Connecting with Elizabeth: Book: Embrace Your Life: How to Find Joy When the Life You Have is Not What You Hoped For Instagram Twitter Website    References: Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS) Dr. Tony Evans and his church Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship Village Church  Growing Together by Melissa KruegerThe Book of Psalms- David (and other authors') honest and emotional outpourings to the Lord All sin is equal before the Lord's eyes Joy is in Jesus  Free Bible app  World on Fire: Walking in the Wisdom of Christ When the World is Fighting About Everything  “Promises” and “Million Little Miracles” by Maverick City Music  “Wait on You” by Maverick City Music  The “Jubilee” album    Scripture References: Acts 26:18, 1 Peter 2:9- Moving from darkness to light  Ephesians 3:20- Exceedingly and abundantly more than we could ask or imagine 2 Corinthians 4:17, Ecclesiastes 3:11- There is an eternity that awaits us John 4:13-14, 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, 1 Peter 1:3-6 -The hope we have in Jesus  Psalm 139:1-12, Psalm 23- He's on the mountain tops and in the valleys  John 15, (and many other scriptures shared below) God has called us to cultivate and grow ourselves and relationships with Him and with the body Jude 1:24,Psalm 121;7-  He is a God who keeps you Matthew 6:31-32, Matthew 7:11, Luke 12:24 Philippians 4:19- God will provide  Isaiah 63:7, Deuteronomy 11:18- We know and remember what God has done for us Acts 1-2- How the Church began Deuteronomy 7:9, John 13:34,-Being faithful because God is faithful Matthew 5:38-42, Matthew 18, Ephesians 4:26-Handling disagreement in the body  Acts 9:15, Acts 22:21- Paul would be the one to go to the Gentiles Ephesians 2:19-22, 1 John 3:1-2-The body of Christ is a family  Ruth 1:16-17-Where you go I will go Genesis 5:32-10:1- Noah was told to build the boat, and then… years go by  Judges 6-7- Gideon and alllllllll his words from the Lord and all his angels (God love him) John 10:10- Satan works overtime to seek and destroy Ephesians 3-4- Our calling is so big as the Church/ the purpose of the church, the divine mystery of our transformation ministers to principalities  Matthew 5:1-12- The Beatitudes  Matthew 5:4-Blessed are those who mourn  Ecclesiastes 1:9-There is nothing new under the sun  Romans 6:23- All sin cost the same: the death of Christ  Ephesians 2:8-9, 2:20- We are all saved by the same grace and gift of Christ's sacrifice and resurrection Genesis 1:27, 1 Corinthians 12:12-27- We are all image bearers, called not to uniformity but unity  Matthew 22:36-40- When we love the Lord our God rightly, then we can love our neighbor as yourself Psalm 13- honest lament before God  Daniel 3:16-20, Esther 4:14- And if He will not  Psalm 27:13-14- God has good for me in the land of the living Galatians 5:22-23- Joy is a fruit of the spirit  Revelations 21- There's an end date on the things that hurt us  Psalm 16:11- In His presence is the fullness of joy  1 Peter 1:3- We live with hope  Psalm 51 2 Samuel- 11:1-In the season when kings go to war….

As David advances in age, his son Adonijah plans a campaign to laud himself as the successor to the throne. Bathsheeba and Nathan ask David whether he'd intended to appoint Solomon instead. David sees to Solomon's ascension and Solomon executes his father's final orders in the beginnings of his reign of affluence and wisdom.

Homily based on the story of David and his sin with Bathsheeba. How to deal with temptation.

Pastor Jim Colledge wraps up our advent series "Hope Surprising" with the story of Bathsheeba out of 2 Samuel. Through her story, we can learn about the kings we have, the kings we want, and the king we need.

God calls us to repentance - the call to repentance is a gift. David and Bathsheeba may have likely never even considered the relative sinfulness of the whole affair - But God saw it and called for repentance and judgement.

In this sermon, Pastor Brian Gawf discusses the story of David and Bathsheeba.

Women of Christmas - Tamar, Rahab, and Bathsheeba

The thought from above this week is, sin is slop. In this episode, James Bryan Smith gives us two ways to help us win the battle against sin. The first is to stay focused on God, and the second is to see sin for what it is. Smith uses the story of David and Bathsheeba […] The post Sin is Slop appeared first on Apprentice Institute.

Part 4 - We are continuing with David and Bathsheba. We consider how both Christian and Jewish Commentators have attempted to exempt David from sin, or the very least downplay how troubling it was. And we see how bias and cultural conditioning determines who we blame often more effectively than how the Biblical Text actually reads. We see how the writer of Samuel uses language and themes to connect this passage with other highly troubling passages in the Bible including the Levite and Concubine, Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot and his daughters, and even The Fall. We also demonstrate how God never ignores or downplays the wrong done to Bathsheba,, makes it a crucial element in his Redemptive history, and why that is hope for all victims of sexual violence.

We see how the writer of Samuel uses language and themes to connect this passage with other highly troubling passages in the Bible including the Levite and Concubine, Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot and his daughters, and even The Fall. We also demonstrate how God never ignores or downplays the wrong done to Bathsheba,, makes it a crucial element in his Redemptive history, and why that is hope for all victims of sexual violence.

Today, my girl, Tiffany Bluhm is back on the podcast! Tiffany’s heart lives at the intersection of justice, women and faith, and her newest book Prey Tell: Why We Silence Women Who Tell the Truth and How Everyone Can Speak Up shines  a light on issues women face, burdens women bear, fears women live with, dealing with secrets that lurk in dark places until exposed in detrimental ways, and what we, as people of faith, can do about it. As a recovering people pleaser, this is a vulnerable moment for me. Talking about the big issues women are facing in sacred and secular spaces, examining narratives that have done more harm than good, its murky water. But this is important. Jesus asked big questions to reveal hearts and draw us closer to Him. As a woman, made in the image of God, who has struggled with confusing narratives, and is raising both a young lady and a young man, these things need to be brought out into the Light. I want to be willing to navigate murky waters so that we can seek God’s heart and His wisdom here, do something with the questions in front of us, and make an impact for the present, and the next generation of image bearers, and Tiffany holds this space beautifully.  Tiffany’s perspective about responding to news of a scandal in faith based spaces was really powerful. She said: Love is not divorced from justice. We have to look at this issue holistically. What does it look like to move forward as Christians in the midst of the carnage from a spiritual leader’s fall? She mentioned great things like examining the differences in loyalty to conviction, and loyalty to a person or separating the message from the messenger. Just because broken people make broken choices doesn’t get to take the power of the Gospel in your life. And it also doesn’t mean that they won’t ever be used by God again! But there are consequences to our actions. This is super hard, and uncomfortable, but that doesn’t make it less important.  Praise God He isn’t finished with any of us. Thanks for hanging in there with me in the deep end today, friend. You matter. Your story truly matters.

The Holy Ghost is a key element to our salvation that is often over looked. In Psalm 51 David was in repentance for his affair with Bathsheeba and he as God not to take away His Holy Spirit. David understood the importance of being born again by the water and the Spirit; just as Jesus described to Nicodemus.

After Adonias tried to steal the kingdom he asks Bathsheeba for Abishag the Shunamite to wife. She was the virgin wife given to king David for warmth in his old age. Bathsheeba then relays the request to Solomon who viewed this as another attempt to seize the throne and had him killed that same day. He also had Joab slain and he banished Abiathar the priest for supporting him.

Nathan the prophet warned Bathsheeba that Adonias was trying to steal the throne. And they both spoke to king David, who that same day had Solomon anointed as king as he had promised.

Nathan told David a parable from the Lord that exposed his guilt and informed him, Bathsheeba's child would die by the hand of God. David confessed his sin and his life was spared. After their son died, David comforted Bathsheeba and she later bore Solomon.

David sees Bathsheeba bathing on her roof from his palace and takes her and later she informs him she is with child. He sends for her husband hoping he will sleep with her to conceal the matter. But her husband nobly refuses to comfort himself while Israel battles. After getting him drunk and keeping him a few days, he sends a letter by his hand to Joab instructing Joab to ensure he dies in battle. Afterwards David takes his wife.

This sermon examines king David and Bathsheba in light of what had already happened to king Saul. David had been faithful to Saul, but Saul got distracted from his primary purpose. David also got distracted and he too had issues that he had to deal with. David risked by like Saul and having his kingdom removed from him. Unlike Saul, David repented and his repentance was total.

2 Samuel 11:1–6 David and Bathsheba [1] In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel. And they ravaged the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. [2] It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking on the roof of the king's house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful. [3] And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, “Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?” [4] So David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. (Now she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned to her house. [5] And the woman conceived, and she sent and told David, “I am pregnant.” [6] So David sent word to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent Uriah to David. (ESV)

What happens when you have experienced a tragedy that you were not prepared for? In this fourth sermon in this series on the women in the genealogy of Jesus, we look at Bathsheeba. History has mischaracterized what happened to her, suggesting that she was a willing participant in her affair with David. However, she is able to press reset in her life after being raped, becoming a widow, and the death of a child through the birth of Solomon. We invite you to listen to this sermon and be encouraged. As always, you can visit us online at www.stmarkcme.org or in person for one of our worship and learning opportunities at 402 S. 3rd Street, Wills Point, TX. We look forward to seeing you. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stmarkcme/support

Tim Theule | 2 Samuel 11:1-15, 26-27, 12:1 | 01/27/2019 If we thought the story of David was a propaganda piece for the David regime, that theory crumbles with the straightforward account of David's sin with Bathsheeba.  The story serves as a hearty warning to God's people in all times about the ravaging destructiveness of sin.  May we hear it and be humbled by it.  

David & Bathsheeba — a sermon on 2 Samuel 11:1-5, 26-27; 12:1-9; Psalm 51:1-9 by Resurrection MPLS Sermons

Today, we get three pictures of David. First his crowning as king: David unites a collection of divided tribes under one kingdom. Second, David leads a procession to bring the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem, where it would reside until Jerusalem was destroyed and taken into exile centuries later. David reigns with the staggeringly powerful presence of God at the center of his kingdom. This will be our primary focus today.But the third image we see in our Psalm, where we hear from David, fresh off his sin of adultery with Bathsheeba, and his murder of her husband Uriah. There we hear how God’s mercy and steadfast love are the foundation of David’s audacious boldness to seek God’s forgiveness and beg for God’s covenant faithfulness to remain with him even after such blatant and public failure.

The story of David and Bathsbeeba's affair and Uriah's murder shows us how we run into trouble when we neglect to tend to the responsibilities God has given us.

At the start of a new year, most of us are thinking BIG.  Big dreams, big goals, and big plans.  But twelve months from now, it will be the small things that made the difference.Scriptures and Keywords:  2 Samuel 11-15, Consequences, David, Bathsheeba, Absalom, Uriah To leave or view comments about this post please click on "Comments" to your right:
