- 9. “The discouraging idea that a mistake (or even a series of them) makes it everlastingly too late, does not come from the Lord. He has said that if we will repent, not only will He forgive us our transgressions, but He will forget them and remember our sins no more. … Repentance is like soap; it can wash sin away. Ground-in dirt may take the strong detergent of discipline to get the stains out, but out they will come” Boyd K Packer--- April
- 10. PSALM 51—DAVID AFTER BATHSHEBA 1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

Editor's Notes
- Welcome to Sunday School—Another beautiful day in the PACIFIC NORTHWEST Any visitors—new members? Opening Prayer_____________________________ Believe it or not I’m going to start with another object lesson even though my last one with Bro Jacobsen failed so miserably –this one involoves NO WATER I promise!! Samson like strength Then have the class member break the thread by pulling his or her hands sharply outward. What should we do when an unclean thought enters our minds? Dismiss it easeily Wrap more around—not so easy to break
- I need 2 scripture readers today – Our theme is creating a clean heart—heart shaped soap
- Jonathan and King Saul have died in battle—let’s read in 2 Samuel 1 11-12 David’s response Jewish tradition continues this today called Keriah’ A public way to show grief and deep sorrow---tear over the heart to show broken heart INTERESTING THAT IN JOEL –GOD SAYS IT IS BETTER TO REND YOUR HEART Do you think David is sincere here? Frined/father-in-law/his life changes too David says this of Jonathan and Saul—it’s quite ironic as we see what happens to him
- So now David is King—he made some amazing changes with the Children of Israel Last 20 years he made some choices that pit a real smudge on his life that is difficult to overcome and that is our discussion today
- So Let’s get into it— R2– “tarried at Jerusalem” up at night on roof sees “pornography” Has he done anything wrong at this point? BKP says… Let’s continue reading these fateful verses that changed—the course of a lot of peoples lives Can’t help but compare David’s reaction to Joseph of Egypt’s reaction
- David thought he could hide what he had done with Bathsheba
- What do you think Bathshebas role was…flattered, temptress, victim?
- The Lord sent the Prophet Nathan to David to give him this parable--we will discuss each of the charaectars in this parable Rich, poor, lamb---who/ what is the traveler? Interesting to think of sin as a temporary traveler that we give fleeting attention to What has David’s reaction? Do sometimes fail to recognize sinfulness in our own lives? Doctrine and covenants gives us insight about David’s standing---132: --
- Turn to psalms 51—Here is where David talks about his sin with Bathshsheba; split the room in half and then share what verses speak to you
- I want to close with me favorite part of Psalms 51 in verse 17---very reminiscent of what is said many times in the BOM all that we can offer to God is a broken spirit and contrite heart just as David did; we are all going to sin—what matters is how we respond to it; do we quickly turn and run back to the Lord OR try to hide from it and cover it up My prayer is that we can find our way back to the Savior and allow him to create in us a clean heart—cut the sinful ties that bind us! ---- SCISSORS--- In the name of Jesus Christ AMEN
- NEXT WEEK --- We continue delving into the Psalms with Bro. Thayne!
