Term 1 – Week 7
Big Idea – David sinned; he despised the word of Lord, and yet God forgave him and did not reject as king.
2 Samuel 11-12
Outcomes
- To know that David is the Lord’s king, chosen by God and for the God.
- To understand that David despised the word of the Lord when he committed adultery with Bathsheba and murdered Uriah, the Hittite.
- To appreciate that God showed David undeserved kindness, forgiving David of his sin, and remained faithful to his promises, restoring David as man and king
Implications
- Belief (Head / Heart) – We should understand the seriousness of sin (despising the word of the Lord) and appreciate God’s character (in the face of human sin, two things are truly remarkable: God’s undeserved kindness, and God’s faithfulness to his own promises)
- Behaviour (Hands) – David repented of his sin. We want to encourage repentance and faith and what that looks like in practice.
Memory Verse
1 Samuel 16:7b
The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.
