    The Sin of David - Presentation Transcript

    1. The Sin of David Our sin matters and can affect more lives than you think. 2 Sam. 24
    2. Introduction
      • One of the most beautiful statements God has made about a person: “a man after My heart, who will do all My will.”
        • Technically, David did not do all of God’s will. Cp. Exo. 20:13-14
        • David’s lifestyle, however, reflected a tender heart that sought God’s will continuously.
        • The beauty of the Bible reveals the totality of one who truly sought God.
    3. Introduction
      • In this sermon we focus on the sin of David.
        • Learning that it doesn’t matter what the sin is necessarily, but how far reaching its consequences can be to self and others.
        • How our sins today are no different in how they can affect so many others.
    4. David’s Sin
      • The sin: a profane census. 2 Sam. 24
        • The Lord’s anger again burned against Israel. v. 1
        • God (by allowing Satan) incited David to take a census of the enrolled fighting men. v. 2 (1 Chron. 21:1)
        • After taking the census David was sorry and asked God’s forgiveness. v. 10
    5. David’s Sin
      • It didn’t matter what the sin was necessarily.
        • Some teach that David’s sin was that of pride: maybe so . Cp. Psa. 74:4-5
        • Others say his sin was in not practicing the ransom price in the census: maybe so. Exo. 30:11-16
        • The scriptures, however, do not necessarily imply what the sin was .
    6. David’s Sin
      • The consequences of David’s sin were far reaching.
        • David’s adultery with Bathsheba and murder against Uriah certainly affected numerous people. 2 Sam. 11
        • His sinful census, however, directly affected the lives of more than 70,000 (not including their family, friends, economy, etc. of Israel)!
        • THINK: weren’t there any in Israel to stand up to the king? Cp. Acts 5:29
    7. Our Sins Affects Many Others As Well
      • It doesn’t matter if people don’t know about our sins. Psa. 90:8
        • What matters is that we know, and God knows. Cp. Num. 32:20-23; Gen. 44:16
        • The consequences may be far reaching and greater than we realize in how it affects the lives of people.
    8. Our Sins Affects Many Others As Well
      • We need a penitent heart like David.
        • Many do not realize that God works the same today as He did during the days of David. Cp. Heb. 13:8
        • Even though we may have a penitent heart, God’s justice comes sooner or later.
        • If/when we become guilty of sin, may we have a heart tender and penitent like king David.
    9. Conclusion
      • You may also be a man after God’s heart but can bring about great consequences to the lives of many as a result of your sin.
      • Please consider your heart and the choices you make.
