Slideshow transcript

Slide 1: The Sin of David Our sin matters and can affect more lives than you think. 2 Sam. 24

Slide 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.

Slide 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.

Slide 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

Slide 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.

Slide 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

Slide 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.

Slide 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.

Slide 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.
