Today we heard from 2 Samuel 11:1-17 and 26-27. The sermon theme was “See Yourself in David: Accept God’s Chastisement and Believe You are Forgiven.”

David’s sin of the eye becomes a sin of lust and of deed. He commits adultery — and then murder to keep the sin a secret. When you try to hide a sin by committing another sin, you are just digging yourself deeper into a hole. Instead, confess! God will forgive all who repent and seek the forgiveness earned by Christ on the cross.
