Scripture Reference: 2 Samuel 12:1-14
David is far gone in his sin. Not only has done heinous things, but he’s covered it up and in full denial. But Nathan’s intervention on his behalf successfully leads David into genuine repentance and shows us how we can do the same.
Sermon Points:
Scripture Reference: 2 Samuel 11:1-27
It’s revealing that the name of God is almost completely absent in this dark chapter of David’s life. Instead of reflecting the generous and loving heart of God, David commits heinous sin. It’s a window into the workings of sin. When your chief goal is to avoid being caught rather than enjoy being forgiven, you will never have true security.
Sermon Points:
Scripture Reference: Psalm 16
Peter’s first sermon on Pentecost is preached from Psalm 16, a Psalm that he says actually looks forward to Jesus resurrection. But the preoccupation of the Psalm is with finding ultimate joy in God’s presence. How are they connected?
Sermon Points:
Scripture Reference: 2 Thessalonians 3:13
Scripture Reference: 2 Samuel 9:1-13
In the timetable of the Scriptures, shortly after David receives God’s overwhelming covenant promises, the king looks to display covenant kindness to another person. David makes a man named Mephibosheth the object of his kindness and lavish generosity. The freedom and security that Mephibosheth finds as the recipient of the king’s undeserved favor is a window into the freedom and security we long for found in Jesus Christ.
