  1. In everything David did he had great success, because the Lord was with him.1 Sam 18:14 HERO

  2. Why did you despise the word of the Lord by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed him with the sword of the Ammorites. Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.2 Sam 12:9-10 ZERO

  3. The sinner. Psalm 51 2 Sam 12:1-14

  4. Anointed with power of Holy Spirit Active in church Nobel character Prayerful person Victorious living Kind and loving Deeply pious and moral lifestyle

  5. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a brokenand contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.Psalm 51:17

  6. There is a very important place in our Christian walk to be spiritually depressed, remorseful and sorrowful over our sins. John Piper

  7. Sin, cleansing, renewal.

  8. Let’s talk about S_ X • One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. 2 Sam 11:2 • Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. 2 Sam 11:4 • For the director of music. A psalm of David….after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba. Psalm 51

  9. 12And David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel. 13After he had left Hebron, David took more concubines and wives in Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him. 2 Sam 5:12-13 14When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you…be sure to appoint over you the king the Lord your God chooses…17He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. Deut 14-17

  10. This king who took another mans wife already had a harem full of women. The simple fact is that the passion of sex is not satisfied by a full harem of women; it is increased. Having many women does not reduce a man’s libido, it excites it, it stimulates it. David, being a man with a strong sexual appetite, mistakenly thought, To satisfy it, I will have more women. Thus, when he became king, he added to the harem, but his drive only increased. One of the lies of our secular society is that if you just satisfy this drive, then it’ll be abated. Charles Swindoll, pg 182, David: A Man after God’s Own Heart.

  11. “I can’t get no... Satisfaction (but I tried)”. The Rolling Stones, “Satisfaction.”

  12. Sexual sin is a symptom, not the disease. “I can’t get no... Satisfaction (but I tried)”. Mick Jagger

  13. The disease of sin: when we pursue temporal satisfaction over the provisions of God. Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. I gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more. 2 Sam 12:7-8

  14. “We pursue many things to fill this void.We are often not conscious of this void, this small chamber. In FBC we call it an idol. It could be a person or a thing or an idea –certain kind of marriage, success,etc. The place where the idol resides is that small chamber. The only way to open that chamber is to hold the handle. It seems like to hold that handle, one must lament.” Pastor Joshua Tan, 07/11/14

  15. When wedo not lament, it becomes easier to fill that void by sinning. 11In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem. 12One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace……2 Sam 11:1-2

  16. Who’s doing the walking…

  17. One sin leads to another. • One night fling. • Pin pregnancy falsely on Uriah. • Order Uriah’s murder to cover up. • Other soldiers become collateral damage. • Loses trust of his commander, palace servants, etc.

  18. Sin deceives the heart. David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan, “As surely as the Lord lives, the man who did this deserves to die! He must pay for that lamb four times over, because he did such a thing and had no pity.” Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man!” 2 Sam 12:5-7a

  19. My good deeds will never redeem me of my sins. • The Hero: • Slayer of Goliath • Merciful to Mephibosheth • Wise King • Forgiving to Saul • Good friend to Jonathan • The Zero: • Adulterer/rapist • Murderer • Manipulator • Corrupted by power

  20. Sin, cleansing, renewal.

  21. 2 Sam 11:27- But the thing David had done displeased the Lord. • 2 Sam 12:1a- The Lord sent Nathan to David.

  22. God speaks through people he sends to us. We just don’t like to listen.

  23. Who has God sent to you?

  24. Who has God sent you to?

  25. Accountability: the missing link in most churches • Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you. 2 Thess 5:12 • Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. Gal 6:1 • Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other James 5:16a

  26. Cleansing from sinsprings from genuine guilt. Surely you desire truth in the inner parts, you teach me wisdom in the inmost place. Psalm 51:6 My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. 1 Cor 4:4

  27. Which way?

  28. ….but is it SO hard to stop sinning What makes a person a Christian is the connection that he has with Jesus Christ that shapes how he thinks and feels about his discouragement and his sin and guilt. John Piper.

  29. Sin, cleansing, renewal.

  30. Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Psalm 51:1-2

  31. “Neither do I condemn you.” “Go and sin no more” John 8:1-11

  32. “We pursue many things to fill this void. We are often not conscious of this small chamber. In FBC we call it an idol. It could be a person or a thing or an idea- certain kind of marriage, success, etc. The place where the idol resides is that small chamber. The only way to open that chamber is to hold the handle. It seems like to hold that handle, one must lament.” “Once we open it, we ask Jesus to come into our heart- the small chamber.” Pastor Joshua Tan, 07/11/14

  33. “Neither do I condemn you.” “Go and sin no more” John 8:1-11

  34. Sin, cleansing, renewal.Create in me a pure heart, O God,and renew a steadfast spirit within me.Psalm 51:10I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know that this love that surpasses knowledge- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.Eph 3:16-19
