David's Big Mistake - Sunday, Dec 5

This Sunday we looked at 2 Samuel 11-12, and David's big mistake with Bathsheba. From that we noticed the following:

James 1:14-15

Sinful acts are never isolated. They are caused by desires within our heart that we choose to act on.

1 Corinthians 10:12-13

God always provides a way out.

2 Samuel 12:10

Sin always has consequences. Some are spiritual, some are physical, some are emotional, some are mental. Sin is a slave-master.

2 Timothy 3:13; James 1:14-15

Sin is a slippery slope that leads to further disobedience, and can ultimately rob you of your life. Larger failures are usually the result of smaller, unchecked sin in your life.

Covering up sin only leads to more disobedience and pain. It is better to confess it.

Romans 8:1

If you are in Christ, all of your sin (past, present, future) is forgiven.

1 John 3:19-20, Romans 5:20-21

If you are entrenched in sin, and yet your heart desires to be free from it, take comfort in God’s grace.
