  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.343
  • Greg laurie: and if you were a true child of god, you will
  • 00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:06.850
  • Never be happy living in sin.
  • 00:00:06.983 --> 00:00:10.920
  • You're always gonna know what's true.
  • 00:00:11.054 --> 00:00:12.522
  • You're always gonna know what's right.
  • 00:00:12.655 --> 00:00:14.491
  • You may do everything you can to try to fit in with the crowd but
  • 00:00:14.591 --> 00:00:15.692
  • Deep down inside, you know where you belong.
  • 00:00:17.794 --> 00:00:20.497
  • You belong with god's people as a part of the family of god in
  • 00:00:20.497 --> 00:00:24.334
  • The church worshiping the lord.
  • 00:00:24.334 --> 00:00:26.603
  • This is your home, not this culture outside.
  • 00:00:26.603 --> 00:00:31.007
  • ♪ this is the day, ♪
  • 00:00:34.544 --> 00:00:37.380
  • ♪ the day when life begins. ♪

  • 00:00:44.554 --> 00:00:51.094
  • Greg: the title of my message is: "the god of second chances."
  • 00:00:55.298 --> 00:00:59.035
  • Okay, question, how many of you have messed up horribly in life?
  • 00:00:59.035 --> 00:01:03.840
  • Raise your hand. okay.
  • 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:05.241
  • Wow, what a bunch of losers. what a--who are you people?
  • 00:01:05.241 --> 00:01:08.845
  • No, my hand goes up too.
  • 00:01:08.845 --> 00:01:10.547
  • We've all messed up in some way, shape, or form horribly in
  • 00:01:10.547 --> 00:01:16.086
  • Our lives.
  • 00:01:16.086 --> 00:01:17.454
  • And there have been times where some of us have sunk so low we
  • 00:01:17.454 --> 00:01:21.624
  • Thought we couldn't go any lower but somehow we did, or you
  • 00:01:21.624 --> 00:01:26.029
  • Sinned so badly you thought there was just no hope for you.
  • 00:01:26.029 --> 00:01:30.133
  • Well, if so, i have good news for you.
  • 00:01:30.133 --> 00:01:33.369
  • Our god gives second chances and third chances and fourth chances
  • 00:01:33.369 --> 00:01:40.543
  • And fifth chances and pretty much as high as you can count,
  • 00:01:40.543 --> 00:01:43.980
  • And this is beautifully illustrated in this story before
  • 00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:48.151
  • Us from the life of david because here we're looking now
  • 00:01:48.151 --> 00:01:51.688
  • At a man who desperately needed forgiveness.
  • 00:01:51.688 --> 00:01:54.891
  • When you think of david, usually, two
  • 00:01:54.891 --> 00:01:57.827
  • Other names come to mind.
  • 00:01:57.827 --> 00:01:59.162
  • You think of david and goliath and david and--
  • 00:01:59.162 --> 00:02:03.399
  • That's it.
  • 00:02:03.399 --> 00:02:05.068
  • So one was his greatest victory with goliath, the 9-foot-6-inch
  • 00:02:05.068 --> 00:02:10.240
  • Philistine that he killed in the elah valley, and then bathsheba,
  • 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:14.978
  • And that's a story we're gonna look at now.
  • 00:02:14.978 --> 00:02:17.647
  • One was his greatest triumph.
  • 00:02:17.647 --> 00:02:19.215
  • The other was his worst defeat.
  • 00:02:19.215 --> 00:02:21.484
  • No sin in the bible got more press or attention, except adam
  • 00:02:21.484 --> 00:02:27.023
  • And eve in the garden, than this one.
  • 00:02:27.023 --> 00:02:29.025
  • Everyone heard about it.
  • 00:02:29.025 --> 00:02:30.727
  • In fact, the prophet nathan said, "because of this sin,
  • 00:02:30.727 --> 00:02:34.230
  • You've given the enemies of god an opportunity to
  • 00:02:34.230 --> 00:02:38.268
  • Blaspheme god."
  • 00:02:38.268 --> 00:02:40.370
  • But yet, despite how sordid this story is, as we'll see in a few
  • 00:02:40.370 --> 00:02:45.308
  • Moments, he still was a man after god's own heart.
  • 00:02:45.308 --> 00:02:48.745
  • That's not to justify what david did.
  • 00:02:48.745 --> 00:02:51.080
  • Far from it.
  • 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:52.448
  • What he did was wrong and he paid the price for it, but he
  • 00:02:52.448 --> 00:02:55.418
  • Also turned back to god.
  • 00:02:55.418 --> 00:02:58.221
  • But his story stands as a warning to us all, where the
  • 00:02:58.221 --> 00:03:01.824
  • Bible says, "let him that thinks he stands take
  • 00:03:01.824 --> 00:03:04.460
  • Heed lest he fall."
  • 00:03:04.460 --> 00:03:05.795
  • So let's read about it.
  • 00:03:05.795 --> 00:03:07.130
  • We're looking at 2 samuel chapter 11.
  • 00:03:07.130 --> 00:03:09.899
  • I read verses 1 through 5 from the new living translation.
  • 00:03:09.899 --> 00:03:13.536
  • Read along with me, if you would.
  • 00:03:13.536 --> 00:03:15.171
  • "the following spring, the time of the year when kings go to
  • 00:03:15.171 --> 00:03:18.007
  • War, david sent joab," that would be his general, "and the
  • 00:03:18.007 --> 00:03:22.545
  • Israelite army to destroy the ammonites, and in the process,
  • 00:03:22.545 --> 00:03:26.015
  • They laid siege to the city of rabbah.
  • 00:03:26.015 --> 00:03:29.285
  • But david stayed behind in jerusalem.
  • 00:03:29.285 --> 00:03:32.989
  • Late one afternoon david got out of bed--" late one afternoon,
  • 00:03:32.989 --> 00:03:38.294
  • Sleeping in.
  • 00:03:38.294 --> 00:03:40.897
  • "take--after taking a nap and went for a stroll on the roof of
  • 00:03:40.897 --> 00:03:44.100
  • The palace, and he looked out over the city and he noticed a
  • 00:03:44.100 --> 00:03:47.870
  • Woman of unusual beauty taking a bath.
  • 00:03:47.870 --> 00:03:51.341
  • He sent someone to find out who she was, and he was told, 'she's
  • 00:03:51.341 --> 00:03:54.944
  • Bathsheba, the daughter of eliam, the wife of uriah
  • 00:03:54.944 --> 00:03:58.481
  • The hittite.'
  • 00:03:58.481 --> 00:03:59.849
  • Then david sent for her, and when she came to the palace, he
  • 00:03:59.849 --> 00:04:03.653
  • Slept with her.
  • 00:04:03.653 --> 00:04:05.154
  • Then she returned home.
  • 00:04:05.154 --> 00:04:06.789
  • And when david discovered that she was pregnant--" excuse me.
  • 00:04:06.789 --> 00:04:09.592
  • "when bathsheba discovered she was pregnant, she sent a message
  • 00:04:09.592 --> 00:04:13.563
  • To inform david."
  • 00:04:13.563 --> 00:04:14.897
  • We'll stop here.
  • 00:04:14.897 --> 00:04:16.266
  • So i wanna give you ten principles about how we fall
  • 00:04:16.266 --> 00:04:20.236
  • Into sin and how we can also recover.
  • 00:04:20.236 --> 00:04:23.706
  • Here's principle number one, if you're taking notes.
  • 00:04:23.706 --> 00:04:27.710
  • David's fall came after a great spiritual success.
  • 00:04:27.710 --> 00:04:36.753
  • Case in point, when jesus was beginning his public ministry,
  • 00:04:32.181 --> 00:04:41.491
  • He went down to the jordan river and he was baptized by his
  • 00:04:41.491 --> 00:04:44.861
  • Cousin john.
  • 00:04:44.861 --> 00:04:46.229
  • The holy spirit came upon him in the form of a dove, and god
  • 00:04:46.229 --> 00:04:50.333
  • Said, "this is my beloved son in whom i am well pleased."
  • 00:04:50.333 --> 00:04:54.570
  • Pretty epic moment.
  • 00:04:54.570 --> 00:04:56.172
  • We could definitely call that a blessed moment.
  • 00:04:56.172 --> 00:04:59.475
  • And what happens after that?
  • 00:04:59.475 --> 00:05:00.877
  • Immediately the bible says jesus went into the wilderness to be
  • 00:05:00.877 --> 00:05:04.914
  • Tested by the devil for 40 days and 40 nights.
  • 00:05:04.914 --> 00:05:08.117
  • So after the dove came the devil.
  • 00:05:08.117 --> 00:05:11.821
  • After the blessing came the attack.
  • 00:05:11.821 --> 00:05:14.824
  • That's often what happens in our lives.
  • 00:05:14.824 --> 00:05:17.860
  • The devil sizes us up and he looks for our vulnerabilities,
  • 00:05:17.860 --> 00:05:22.365
  • And everybody has a weakness or weaknesses.
  • 00:05:22.365 --> 00:05:26.202
  • And so the devil's sizing up david, and david was setting
  • 00:05:26.202 --> 00:05:31.341
  • Himself up for this.
  • 00:05:31.341 --> 00:05:32.875
  • Bringing me to point number two, the sins we commit today may
  • 00:05:32.875 --> 00:05:36.579
  • Come back to haunt us tomorrow.
  • 00:05:36.579 --> 00:05:39.115
  • Again, the sins we commit today may come back to haunt
  • 00:05:39.115 --> 00:05:41.951
  • Us tomorrow.
  • 00:05:41.951 --> 00:05:43.486
  • Here's the thing, david didn't just fall into this sin.
  • 00:05:43.486 --> 00:05:47.223
  • He had been setting the stage for it.
  • 00:05:47.223 --> 00:05:50.026
  • 2 samuel 5 tells us that, in direct disobedience to god,
  • 00:05:50.026 --> 00:05:54.497
  • David took concubines after he became king, and in deuteronomy
  • 00:05:54.497 --> 00:06:00.703
  • 17, it says a king should never do this.
  • 00:06:00.703 --> 00:06:04.440
  • He should never have multiplied wives or his heart will turn
  • 00:06:04.440 --> 00:06:09.145
  • Away from god, and that's exactly
  • 00:06:09.145 --> 00:06:11.080
  • What was happening to david.
  • 00:06:11.080 --> 00:06:12.415
  • His heart was turning away from god slowly but surely.
  • 00:06:12.415 --> 00:06:16.786
  • This is a man who was allowing lust to consume his life.
  • 00:06:16.786 --> 00:06:22.058
  • What david was doing is--the way he was living, he was
  • 00:06:22.058 --> 00:06:25.294
  • Feeding his lust.
  • 00:06:25.294 --> 00:06:26.629
  • It was sort of like pouring gasoline on a fire.
  • 00:06:26.629 --> 00:06:29.499
  • It's not going to extinguish it, it's gonna multiply it.
  • 00:06:29.499 --> 00:06:32.635
  • So it was getting worse and worse.
  • 00:06:32.635 --> 00:06:34.404
  • And there's ways we can do this: obviously looking at
  • 00:06:34.404 --> 00:06:37.507
  • Pornography, looking at things that will stimulate
  • 00:06:37.507 --> 00:06:40.643
  • This sort of thing.
  • 00:06:40.643 --> 00:06:41.978
  • So he's living, really, an immoral lifestyle before he even
  • 00:06:41.978 --> 00:06:46.349
  • Lays his eyes on bathsheba.
  • 00:06:46.349 --> 00:06:49.685
  • So while his army was at war, david was taking a nap.
  • 00:06:49.685 --> 00:06:54.457
  • David was basically sleeping when he should have been
  • 00:06:54.457 --> 00:06:58.594
  • Fighting, bringing me to point number four.
  • 00:06:58.594 --> 00:07:01.531
  • Our greatest battles don't necessarily come when we're
  • 00:07:01.531 --> 00:07:04.867
  • Working hard.
  • 00:07:04.867 --> 00:07:06.202
  • He was bored.
  • 00:07:06.202 --> 00:07:07.570
  • He had too much time in his hands.
  • 00:07:07.570 --> 00:07:09.839
  • Alan redpath, the great british preacher and a wonderful guy,
  • 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:14.110
  • Said, quote, "times of leisure are to be more dreaded than
  • 00:07:14.110 --> 00:07:17.213
  • Those of the most strenuous toil," end quote.
  • 00:07:17.213 --> 00:07:20.683
  • So here he is in his rooftop palace.
  • 00:07:20.683 --> 00:07:23.119
  • Now, i've had the opportunity to go to israel many times, and
  • 00:07:23.119 --> 00:07:26.789
  • They have what they call the city of david.
  • 00:07:26.789 --> 00:07:29.125
  • So there in jerusalem, they have the ancient jerusalem or where
  • 00:07:29.125 --> 00:07:35.631
  • David would have ruled from when he was king.
  • 00:07:35.631 --> 00:07:37.900
  • And so we went to the area where his palace would have been.
  • 00:07:37.900 --> 00:07:41.137
  • And on top of the palace, they would effectively have a rooftop
  • 00:07:41.137 --> 00:07:44.907
  • Patio, right?
  • 00:07:44.907 --> 00:07:46.309
  • And his patio was elevated above the rest of the city so he would
  • 00:07:46.309 --> 00:07:51.080
  • Have a great view of everything going on.
  • 00:07:51.080 --> 00:07:54.183
  • So, you know, he's sleeping in, gets out of bed, plays a couple
  • 00:07:54.183 --> 00:07:58.621
  • Video games, wandering around on his balcony and he is wiping the
  • 00:07:58.621 --> 00:08:05.294
  • Sleep from his eyes and he looks out and sees the beautiful
  • 00:08:05.294 --> 00:08:09.866
  • Bathsheba bathing herself.
  • 00:08:09.866 --> 00:08:13.336
  • Now, the bible actually tells us she was a woman of
  • 00:08:13.336 --> 00:08:16.372
  • Unusual beauty.
  • 00:08:16.372 --> 00:08:18.741
  • It is interesting, in the original hebrew, the word to
  • 00:08:18.741 --> 00:08:21.711
  • Describe beauty is foxedo.
  • 00:08:21.711 --> 00:08:26.182
  • I made that up. it isn't really.
  • 00:08:26.182 --> 00:08:27.650
  • No. "really, is that true?"
  • 00:08:27.650 --> 00:08:29.519
  • Yeah. she was a gorgeous girl.
  • 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.522
  • She was a fox. she was a babe.
  • 00:08:32.522 --> 00:08:34.490
  • Whatever words you wanna use.
  • 00:08:34.490 --> 00:08:36.759
  • She was really attractive.
  • 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.495
  • Okay, so it was what it was.
  • 00:08:39.495 --> 00:08:42.398
  • That would have been a temptation for any man, to see
  • 00:08:42.398 --> 00:08:45.668
  • A woman of her exceptional beauty bathing herself.
  • 00:08:45.668 --> 00:08:51.173
  • But for david, man, it was just like a fire to dead leaves.
  • 00:08:51.173 --> 00:08:55.511
  • He was already going down this path.
  • 00:08:55.511 --> 00:08:58.281
  • And look, you can't stop being exposed to some things.
  • 00:08:58.281 --> 00:09:02.885
  • Now, you can maybe keep yourself from certain things in life,
  • 00:09:02.885 --> 00:09:07.657
  • Absolutely, but on the other hand, sometimes there are images
  • 00:09:07.657 --> 00:09:11.093
  • That come into our view that we didn't choose to view.
  • 00:09:11.093 --> 00:09:14.397
  • It could be in a billboard.
  • 00:09:14.397 --> 00:09:15.765
  • It could be in a television screen.
  • 00:09:15.765 --> 00:09:17.600
  • It could be when you're scrolling on your phone.
  • 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.069
  • "whoa, there it is."
  • 00:09:20.069 --> 00:09:21.537
  • But you choose what you will do in response to that.
  • 00:09:21.537 --> 00:09:25.575
  • You decide what happens next.
  • 00:09:25.575 --> 00:09:28.210
  • So if temptation comes knocking at your door, you don't have to
  • 00:09:28.210 --> 00:09:31.581
  • Answer the door and you certainly don't have to invite
  • 00:09:31.581 --> 00:09:34.684
  • It in for coffee.
  • 00:09:34.684 --> 00:09:37.253
  • Leave the temptation outside.
  • 00:09:37.253 --> 00:09:38.821
  • But the problem is we let it in.
  • 00:09:38.821 --> 00:09:41.791
  • We take the test drive, so to speak.
  • 00:09:41.791 --> 00:09:44.460
  • We try the free sample, and we'll say all along, "oh, i
  • 00:09:44.460 --> 00:09:47.630
  • Would never do this, but certainly i can find out what
  • 00:09:47.630 --> 00:09:50.733
  • It's all about."
  • 00:09:50.733 --> 00:09:52.101
  • Now, david did that and more, and he misuses his office
  • 00:09:52.101 --> 00:09:56.572
  • As king.
  • 00:09:56.572 --> 00:09:57.940
  • He gives an order.
  • 00:09:57.940 --> 00:09:59.275
  • "go get that woman and bring her up to my palace."
  • 00:09:59.275 --> 00:10:02.812
  • 2 samuel 11:3, a servant, who i have to really admire for his
  • 00:10:02.812 --> 00:10:06.482
  • Boldness, he says to the king, "she's bathsheba, the daughter
  • 00:10:06.482 --> 00:10:10.353
  • Of eliam, the wife of uriah the hittite."
  • 00:10:10.353 --> 00:10:14.724
  • You know, kudos to this guy.
  • 00:10:14.724 --> 00:10:16.559
  • "uh, david, she's married.
  • 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.329
  • Off limits.
  • 00:10:20.329 --> 00:10:21.831
  • You should know this."
  • 00:10:21.831 --> 00:10:23.833
  • Well, david could care less,
  • 00:10:23.833 --> 00:10:26.202
  • Bringing me to point number five.
  • 00:10:26.202 --> 00:10:27.536
  • When deluded by sin, we don't think clearly because sin makes
  • 00:10:27.536 --> 00:10:31.173
  • Us stupid.
  • 00:10:31.173 --> 00:10:34.610
  • Sin makes us stupid.
  • 00:10:34.610 --> 00:10:36.712
  • You understand what i'm saying?
  • 00:10:36.712 --> 00:10:38.047
  • We don't think rationally when we're under the
  • 00:10:38.047 --> 00:10:40.383
  • Influence of sin.
  • 00:10:40.383 --> 00:10:42.018
  • "yeah, whatever," david thought.
  • 00:10:42.018 --> 00:10:43.519
  • "bring her up here, i said."
  • 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.955
  • And so now they have this relationship, this sexual
  • 00:10:45.955 --> 00:10:51.994
  • Encounter, and now this whole thing is in process.
  • 00:10:51.994 --> 00:10:56.465
  • Now, people justify things like this.
  • 00:10:56.465 --> 00:10:58.901
  • They say, "well, you know, i'm not happy in my marriage and--"
  • 00:10:58.901 --> 00:11:02.471
  • Or, "i work really hard and i deserve this," or, "everyone
  • 00:11:02.471 --> 00:11:06.242
  • Else is doing it, why shouldn't i?"
  • 00:11:06.242 --> 00:11:08.744
  • I love this one: "i'm human like everyone else
  • 00:11:08.744 --> 00:11:11.213
  • And we all make mistakes."
  • 00:11:11.213 --> 00:11:12.648
  • Yeah, you know what, nobody falls into adultery.
  • 00:11:12.648 --> 00:11:17.053
  • It's a series of steps one must take.
  • 00:11:17.053 --> 00:11:20.356
  • That's what was happening to david, and he just keeps going.
  • 00:11:20.356 --> 00:11:25.628
  • And then they were together that night, and now the repercussions
  • 00:11:25.628 --> 00:11:30.032
  • Are going to come as a result.
  • 00:11:30.032 --> 00:11:32.835
  • But instead of confessing his sin, david tried to hide
  • 00:11:32.835 --> 00:11:37.273
  • His sin.
  • 00:11:37.273 --> 00:11:38.708
  • Okay, so what david should have done was repented.
  • 00:11:38.708 --> 00:11:41.177
  • "lord, i've sinned. i'm sorry."
  • 00:11:41.177 --> 00:11:43.045
  • But now he comes up with this idea, "okay, let's see.
  • 00:11:43.045 --> 00:11:45.815
  • Okay, what's her husband's name again?"
  • 00:11:45.815 --> 00:11:48.150
  • "uriah." "where is he?"
  • 00:11:48.150 --> 00:11:49.719
  • "he's serving you in your army.
  • 00:11:49.719 --> 00:11:52.655
  • He's out fighting for you right now."
  • 00:11:52.655 --> 00:11:54.356
  • "oh, interesting. okay.
  • 00:11:54.356 --> 00:11:56.125
  • Well, hey, tell him to come to the palace."
  • 00:11:56.125 --> 00:11:59.195
  • So here's uriah. he doesn't know david.
  • 00:11:59.195 --> 00:12:01.931
  • He's just a soldier in the king's army, and he gets a
  • 00:12:01.931 --> 00:12:04.800
  • Message, "david the king wants to see you in the
  • 00:12:04.800 --> 00:12:08.370
  • Palace immediately."
  • 00:12:08.370 --> 00:12:09.705
  • What must he have thought?
  • 00:12:09.705 --> 00:12:11.040
  • "what? he wants to see me?
  • 00:12:11.040 --> 00:12:13.542
  • The man after god's own heart, the sweet psalmist of israel,
  • 00:12:13.542 --> 00:12:17.880
  • The giant killer david wants to see me?"
  • 00:12:17.880 --> 00:12:20.983
  • "yes, he wants to see you in his palace."
  • 00:12:20.983 --> 00:12:23.285
  • So uriah appears before the king.
  • 00:12:23.285 --> 00:12:25.654
  • King has a little small talk with him.
  • 00:12:25.654 --> 00:12:27.089
  • "how's it going? what's up?
  • 00:12:27.089 --> 00:12:28.424
  • Okay, now--hey, man, you've been out there fighting for
  • 00:12:28.424 --> 00:12:31.460
  • Our kingdom, appreciate that.
  • 00:12:31.460 --> 00:12:33.162
  • Why don't you go home and have a nice evening with your wife?"
  • 00:12:33.162 --> 00:12:37.800
  • Nod, nod, wink, wink.
  • 00:12:37.800 --> 00:12:40.503
  • Well, uriah thought, "i can't do that while all of my fellow
  • 00:12:40.503 --> 00:12:43.672
  • Soldiers are out there risking their lives."
  • 00:12:43.672 --> 00:12:45.574
  • So he literally slept outside of his house that night.
  • 00:12:45.574 --> 00:12:48.177
  • See, david's idea was if uriah slept with his wife, then he
  • 00:12:48.177 --> 00:12:51.981
  • Would think that that was his child.
  • 00:12:51.981 --> 00:12:54.917
  • And so david hears about this, and this time he gets uriah
  • 00:12:54.917 --> 00:12:57.853
  • Drunk, sends him home.
  • 00:12:57.853 --> 00:12:59.655
  • Again, uriah will not sleep with his wife, so david comes up with
  • 00:12:59.655 --> 00:13:02.825
  • This idea, "i'm gonna have uriah killed and then i'll marry
  • 00:13:02.825 --> 00:13:07.963
  • His wife."
  • 00:13:07.963 --> 00:13:09.331
  • So he sends a letter to joab and has uriah deliver it to him.
  • 00:13:09.331 --> 00:13:13.936
  • Here's uriah walking around with his death sentence in a sealed
  • 00:13:13.936 --> 00:13:19.542
  • Message from the king.
  • 00:13:19.542 --> 00:13:21.343
  • He gives it to joab.
  • 00:13:21.343 --> 00:13:22.711
  • "dear joab, i need uriah to die."
  • 00:13:22.711 --> 00:13:28.150
  • He didn't say it that plainly but in so many words.
  • 00:13:28.150 --> 00:13:31.287
  • "so get him in the battle there, have the other guys back off,
  • 00:13:31.287 --> 00:13:35.791
  • And this is what i need to happen.
  • 00:13:35.791 --> 00:13:37.827
  • I need him to be gone."
  • 00:13:37.827 --> 00:13:39.562
  • Signed david, the man after god's own heart.
  • 00:13:39.562 --> 00:13:43.799
  • That's exactly what happened.
  • 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:45.134
  • So a message came back to david from joab, "oh, yeah, we had
  • 00:13:45.134 --> 00:13:48.270
  • This military encounter and number of soldiers died,
  • 00:13:48.270 --> 00:13:51.707
  • Including uriah the hittite."
  • 00:13:51.707 --> 00:13:53.542
  • Ah, pulled it off.
  • 00:13:53.542 --> 00:13:57.313
  • And he married bathsheba.
  • 00:13:57.313 --> 00:13:59.315
  • Awesome.
  • 00:13:59.315 --> 00:14:00.649
  • Covered up his sin, but here's the problem.
  • 00:14:00.649 --> 00:14:03.419
  • The bible says what he did displeased the lord.
  • 00:14:03.419 --> 00:14:07.189
  • And here's the thing.
  • 00:14:07.189 --> 00:14:08.557
  • Your sin will find you out.
  • 00:14:08.557 --> 00:14:10.993
  • Then now david's sin is going to be exposed as well.
  • 00:14:10.993 --> 00:14:15.664
  • And why did the lord want to confront david?
  • 00:14:15.664 --> 00:14:19.301
  • Because god loved david and he could not let
  • 00:14:19.301 --> 00:14:22.771
  • This happen as it happened.
  • 00:14:22.771 --> 00:14:24.106
  • Now, psalm 32 is what i want you to look at next.
  • 00:14:24.106 --> 00:14:29.278
  • It's something he wrote after he confessed his sin to god.
  • 00:14:29.278 --> 00:14:33.582
  • He also wrote psalm 51.
  • 00:14:33.582 --> 00:14:37.052
  • Psalm 32 describes the futility and misery of sin when
  • 00:14:37.052 --> 00:14:41.156
  • It's unconfessed.
  • 00:14:41.156 --> 00:14:43.158
  • I mean, this is a man who walked and talked with god from
  • 00:14:43.158 --> 00:14:45.628
  • His childhood.
  • 00:14:45.628 --> 00:14:47.196
  • He had known the power and blessing of god in his life in
  • 00:14:47.196 --> 00:14:49.932
  • An extraordinary way, but for 12 months he had fought the
  • 00:14:49.932 --> 00:14:54.403
  • Conviction of the holy spirit.
  • 00:14:54.403 --> 00:14:56.472
  • He was not experiencing god's presence as he had before.
  • 00:14:56.472 --> 00:15:00.743
  • So now he writes psalm 32 after he is confronted by the prophet.
  • 00:15:00.743 --> 00:15:07.716
  • "oh, what joy," he writes, "for those whose rebellion is
  • 00:15:07.716 --> 00:15:11.520
  • Forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight.
  • 00:15:11.520 --> 00:15:14.590
  • Yes, what joy for those who record the lord has cleared them
  • 00:15:14.590 --> 00:15:18.928
  • Of sin, whose lives are lived in complete honesty.
  • 00:15:18.928 --> 00:15:21.931
  • When i refused to confess my sin, i was weak and miserable
  • 00:15:21.931 --> 00:15:26.001
  • And i groaned all day long.
  • 00:15:26.001 --> 00:15:28.304
  • For day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me and
  • 00:15:28.304 --> 00:15:32.241
  • My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat--"
  • 00:15:32.241 --> 00:15:36.679
  • And then you might have the word "selah" or the word "interlude"
  • 00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:40.783
  • In your bible, depending on what translation you have.
  • 00:15:40.783 --> 00:15:43.585
  • I'll comment on that in a moment.
  • 00:15:43.585 --> 00:15:45.654
  • David continues.
  • 00:15:45.654 --> 00:15:46.989
  • "finally i confessed my sins to you and i
  • 00:15:46.989 --> 00:15:48.924
  • Stopped trying to hide them.
  • 00:15:48.924 --> 00:15:50.259
  • I said to myself, 'i will confess my rebellion to
  • 00:15:50.259 --> 00:15:54.029
  • The lord.'
  • 00:15:54.029 --> 00:15:55.364
  • And you forgave me.
  • 00:15:55.364 --> 00:15:56.732
  • All my guilt is gone."
  • 00:15:56.732 --> 00:15:59.201
  • Bringing me to point number seven.
  • 00:15:59.201 --> 00:16:00.569
  • God disciplines those that he loves.
  • 00:16:00.569 --> 00:16:03.605
  • The reason this discipline came into the life of david was
  • 00:16:03.605 --> 00:16:07.009
  • Because he was a child of god.
  • 00:16:07.009 --> 00:16:08.677
  • A disobedient one, for sure; a wayward one, no question about
  • 00:16:08.677 --> 00:16:12.881
  • It, but he was still god's child.
  • 00:16:12.881 --> 00:16:15.851
  • And as hebrews 12 says, if god doesn't discipline you as he
  • 00:16:15.851 --> 00:16:19.288
  • Does all of his children, it means you are illegitimate and
  • 00:16:19.288 --> 00:16:22.491
  • You're really not his children after all.
  • 00:16:22.491 --> 00:16:24.994
  • Listen, if you cross a line, if you sin against god and you feel
  • 00:16:24.994 --> 00:16:31.967
  • Guilt, praise god.
  • 00:16:31.967 --> 00:16:35.104
  • Your conscience is working.
  • 00:16:35.104 --> 00:16:37.373
  • You want your conscience to work.
  • 00:16:37.373 --> 00:16:40.409
  • One of the problems is that we can have a conscience that works
  • 00:16:40.409 --> 00:16:43.278
  • And we confess our sin to god, but after we've confessed it, we
  • 00:16:43.278 --> 00:16:47.349
  • Still feel guilty, and that's not right.
  • 00:16:47.349 --> 00:16:49.885
  • Once god has forgiven you, you need to accept his forgiveness.
  • 00:16:49.885 --> 00:16:54.456
  • David was able to do that.
  • 00:16:54.456 --> 00:16:56.392
  • Can you do that?
  • 00:16:56.392 --> 00:16:57.726
  • See, when jesus died on the cross, he paid for all of
  • 00:16:57.726 --> 00:17:01.063
  • Your sin.
  • 00:17:01.063 --> 00:17:02.431
  • And once you've confessed your sin as the bible tells you to,
  • 00:17:02.431 --> 00:17:06.769
  • You're forgiven of your sin.
  • 00:17:06.769 --> 00:17:08.137
  • 1 john 1:8, "if we will confess our sin, he's faithful and just
  • 00:17:08.137 --> 00:17:12.141
  • To forgive us our sin and cleanse us from
  • 00:17:12.141 --> 00:17:14.877
  • All unrighteousness."
  • 00:17:14.877 --> 00:17:16.678
  • Not some unrighteousness, all unrighteousness.
  • 00:17:16.678 --> 00:17:20.883
  • So if god has forgiven your sin and if god has forgotten your
  • 00:17:20.883 --> 00:17:24.153
  • Sin, why are you dragging it up still?
  • 00:17:24.153 --> 00:17:27.489
  • We should not choose to remember what god has chosen to forget.
  • 00:17:27.489 --> 00:17:31.760
  • So accept that forgiveness.
  • 00:17:31.760 --> 00:17:34.563
  • So david's conscience is working, and he's coming under
  • 00:17:34.563 --> 00:17:38.267
  • The conviction of the holy spirit.
  • 00:17:38.267 --> 00:17:40.202
  • Good.
  • 00:17:40.202 --> 00:17:41.570
  • That's what happens when you're a child of god, and that's what
  • 00:17:41.570 --> 00:17:44.173
  • Was happening to david right now.
  • 00:17:44.173 --> 00:17:46.508
  • So david had covered up his sin, or so he thought.
  • 00:17:46.508 --> 00:17:49.678
  • But the bible says in proverbs 28:13, "he that covers his sin
  • 00:17:49.678 --> 00:17:53.682
  • Will not prosper.
  • 00:17:53.682 --> 00:17:55.584
  • But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy."
  • 00:17:55.584 --> 00:17:59.321
  • So now pretty much a year has passed, david's sitting on his
  • 00:17:59.321 --> 00:18:02.224
  • Throne, and the lord sends nathan the prophet.
  • 00:18:02.224 --> 00:18:05.761
  • 2 samuel 12:1, "then the lord sent nathan to david."
  • 00:18:05.761 --> 00:18:10.199
  • When did the lord send nathan the prophet to david?
  • 00:18:10.199 --> 00:18:13.569
  • Right after his sin with bathsheba?
  • 00:18:13.569 --> 00:18:16.004
  • No.
  • 00:18:16.004 --> 00:18:17.339
  • Right after bathsheba found out she was pregnant?
  • 00:18:17.339 --> 00:18:20.175
  • Again, no.
  • 00:18:20.175 --> 00:18:21.510
  • Right after david had uriah, the husband of bathsheba, killed?
  • 00:18:21.510 --> 00:18:25.214
  • No.
  • 00:18:25.214 --> 00:18:26.548
  • After a year had effectively passed and david could hardly
  • 00:18:26.548 --> 00:18:31.053
  • Live with himself, nathan comes in to the palace of david.
  • 00:18:31.053 --> 00:18:37.192
  • "uh, king, i have a situation i wanna run
  • 00:18:37.192 --> 00:18:40.195
  • By you, wanna get your input."
  • 00:18:40.195 --> 00:18:41.530
  • "yes," david says, sitting on his regal throne.
  • 00:18:41.530 --> 00:18:45.701
  • "okay, so there's this guy, and they're not very wealthy.
  • 00:18:45.701 --> 00:18:50.606
  • They have one little lamb.
  • 00:18:50.606 --> 00:18:52.074
  • In fact, the lamb is like a family pet.
  • 00:18:52.074 --> 00:18:54.476
  • It eats at the table with them.
  • 00:18:54.476 --> 00:18:56.345
  • They push the lamb around in a stroller."
  • 00:18:56.345 --> 00:18:59.748
  • Not really, but it's like that idea of--you know, the lamb is
  • 00:18:59.748 --> 00:19:03.118
  • Like a member of his family.
  • 00:19:03.118 --> 00:19:05.053
  • Loves the little lamb.
  • 00:19:05.053 --> 00:19:07.222
  • "anyway, this guy has a neighbor who has many sheep, and the
  • 00:19:07.222 --> 00:19:10.092
  • Neighbor had a friend come from out of town for dinner and he
  • 00:19:10.092 --> 00:19:13.829
  • Decided he wanted to serve him leg of lamb.
  • 00:19:13.829 --> 00:19:16.832
  • And so instead of killing one of his many sheep, he goes to this
  • 00:19:16.832 --> 00:19:20.202
  • Neighbor who has one little baby lamb that's like a member of his
  • 00:19:20.202 --> 00:19:23.305
  • Family and he kills the baby lamb and serves
  • 00:19:23.305 --> 00:19:25.841
  • It to the visitor.
  • 00:19:25.841 --> 00:19:27.943
  • What should be done to a man that would do that?"
  • 00:19:27.943 --> 00:19:30.712
  • David grabbed the arms of his throne.
  • 00:19:30.712 --> 00:19:34.183
  • His blood began to boil.
  • 00:19:34.183 --> 00:19:35.951
  • He was seeing red, and he says, "this man should restore four
  • 00:19:35.951 --> 00:19:40.189
  • Times what he has taken and then he should be put to death."
  • 00:19:40.189 --> 00:19:44.026
  • Wait, put to death?
  • 00:19:44.026 --> 00:19:46.061
  • Restoring fourfold; yeah, makes sense, but--"put him to death."
  • 00:19:46.061 --> 00:19:49.531
  • And then nathan points his long, bony, prophet finger in
  • 00:19:49.531 --> 00:19:54.436
  • David's face.
  • 00:19:54.436 --> 00:19:56.171
  • He says, "you the man.
  • 00:19:56.171 --> 00:19:58.941
  • You are the man.
  • 00:19:58.941 --> 00:20:00.742
  • Get it?"
  • 00:20:00.742 --> 00:20:02.110
  • "oh, yeah.
  • 00:20:02.110 --> 00:20:03.879
  • I'm like that guy that has all these wives and i went to uriah
  • 00:20:03.879 --> 00:20:08.016
  • The hittite and i took his only wife.
  • 00:20:08.016 --> 00:20:12.454
  • That's me."
  • 00:20:12.454 --> 00:20:13.789
  • "you're the man."
  • 00:20:13.789 --> 00:20:15.157
  • So judgment came upon david because of his sin and truly he
  • 00:20:15.157 --> 00:20:18.460
  • Did face the repercussions of it for the rest of his life, but in
  • 00:20:18.460 --> 00:20:23.498
  • David's defense, he repented.
  • 00:20:23.498 --> 00:20:27.202
  • That's point number eight.
  • 00:20:27.202 --> 00:20:28.537
  • There's one correct response to being caught in sin and that
  • 00:20:28.537 --> 00:20:31.707
  • Correct response is saying, "i have sinned."
  • 00:20:31.707 --> 00:20:35.377
  • 2 samuel 12:13, "david said to nathan, 'i've sinned against
  • 00:20:35.377 --> 00:20:40.315
  • The lord.
  • 00:20:40.315 --> 00:20:41.650
  • I've sinned.'"
  • 00:20:41.650 --> 00:20:43.018
  • If you wanna be free from sin, you have to admit you're dealing
  • 00:20:43.018 --> 00:20:46.688
  • With sin.
  • 00:20:46.688 --> 00:20:48.056
  • Stop blaming everybody else.
  • 00:20:48.056 --> 00:20:50.726
  • Take responsibility.
  • 00:20:50.726 --> 00:20:52.094
  • "i have sinned.
  • 00:20:52.094 --> 00:20:53.428
  • I am wrong.
  • 00:20:53.428 --> 00:20:54.796
  • I have done this."
  • 00:20:54.796 --> 00:20:56.498
  • In psalm 51, which he also wrote in the aftermath of being
  • 00:20:56.498 --> 00:21:00.102
  • Confronted by the prophet nathan, david wrote, "against
  • 00:21:00.102 --> 00:21:03.939
  • Thee and thee only have i committed this sin."
  • 00:21:03.939 --> 00:21:07.342
  • That's so important.
  • 00:21:07.342 --> 00:21:08.744
  • He owned what he had done and he did repent, and this is why,
  • 00:21:08.744 --> 00:21:13.715
  • This is why he was a man after god's own heart.
  • 00:21:13.715 --> 00:21:17.419
  • Not because he was a perfect man, not because he was a
  • 00:21:17.419 --> 00:21:20.789
  • Flawless man, but because he was a man that ultimately knew where
  • 00:21:20.789 --> 00:21:24.726
  • To turn when he was going the wrong direction in life.
  • 00:21:24.726 --> 00:21:29.831
  • And this is a great thing that he did.
  • 00:21:29.831 --> 00:21:31.900
  • Now, number nine, despite his sin, david was given a second
  • 00:21:31.900 --> 00:21:37.472
  • Chance in life despite his sin.
  • 00:21:37.472 --> 00:21:40.075
  • God gives second chances and third chances and fourth
  • 00:21:40.075 --> 00:21:43.345
  • Chances, and david saw that.
  • 00:21:43.345 --> 00:21:45.580
  • Did you know that this story actually connects to the
  • 00:21:45.580 --> 00:21:48.917
  • Christmas story?
  • 00:21:48.917 --> 00:21:51.453
  • "how?"
  • 00:21:51.453 --> 00:21:52.788
  • Well, where was jesus born?
  • 00:21:52.788 --> 00:21:54.489
  • Does anyone know?
  • 00:21:54.489 --> 00:21:56.224
  • Good answer.
  • 00:21:56.224 --> 00:21:57.559
  • Bethlehem.
  • 00:21:57.559 --> 00:21:58.927
  • Why was jesus born in bethlehem?
  • 00:21:58.927 --> 00:22:01.730
  • Because he was connected to the family of david.
  • 00:22:01.730 --> 00:22:06.935
  • His bloodline traced back to david through both mary
  • 00:22:06.935 --> 00:22:10.439
  • And joseph.
  • 00:22:10.439 --> 00:22:11.807
  • That's when the decree was given by caesar, that everyone should
  • 00:22:11.807 --> 00:22:14.443
  • Be taxed and go to their hometown.
  • 00:22:14.443 --> 00:22:16.445
  • They went to bethlehem.
  • 00:22:16.445 --> 00:22:18.880
  • So here's the amazing thing.
  • 00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:20.482
  • When you look at the bloodline of jesus or the family tree of
  • 00:22:20.482 --> 00:22:25.220
  • Jesus, there are some pretty unsavory characters that made
  • 00:22:25.220 --> 00:22:28.990
  • Their way in it, including bathsheba.
  • 00:22:28.990 --> 00:22:32.994
  • She is in the messianic line.
  • 00:22:32.994 --> 00:22:34.930
  • If that isn't a second chance, i don't know what is.
  • 00:22:34.930 --> 00:22:38.433
  • Also rahab and tamar, two other immoral women made it into the
  • 00:22:38.433 --> 00:22:44.139
  • Family tree of jesus.
  • 00:22:44.139 --> 00:22:45.507
  • Now, you know, people love to go back and trace their family
  • 00:22:45.507 --> 00:22:47.843
  • Roots because we all hope we're related to some famous
  • 00:22:47.843 --> 00:22:51.079
  • Historical figure or a royal person or someone significant,
  • 00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:55.951
  • Then we find out we have creeps in our family tree, right?
  • 00:22:55.951 --> 00:22:59.988
  • Hey, how about the family tree of jesus?
  • 00:22:59.988 --> 00:23:02.391
  • But here's the message of it all.
  • 00:23:02.391 --> 00:23:04.159
  • God gave second chances to david and to bathsheba and to these
  • 00:23:04.159 --> 00:23:09.364
  • Other women that are mentioned, and god gives second chances to
  • 00:23:09.364 --> 00:23:13.068
  • Us as well.
  • 00:23:13.068 --> 00:23:14.736
  • This was david's secret, is he always knew where to turn.
  • 00:23:14.736 --> 00:23:18.306
  • Do you?
  • 00:23:18.306 --> 00:23:19.641
  • Now, maybe i'm talking to someone, in closing, who has
  • 00:23:19.641 --> 00:23:22.477
  • Sinned against god, and in fact, you don't even know why you're
  • 00:23:22.477 --> 00:23:27.048
  • Here at church.
  • 00:23:27.048 --> 00:23:28.417
  • You're thinking, "i don't think i should be here.
  • 00:23:28.417 --> 00:23:29.751
  • I'm such a hypocrite."
  • 00:23:29.751 --> 00:23:31.119
  • Hey, i'm so glad you're here because as i often said, the
  • 00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:35.824
  • Church is not a museum for saints.
  • 00:23:35.824 --> 00:23:37.759
  • It's a hospital for sinners.
  • 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.462
  • This is a place to get right with god, right?
  • 00:23:40.462 --> 00:23:44.366
  • So this is a place to recommit your life to the lord.
  • 00:23:44.366 --> 00:23:48.937
  • I wanna just tell you something.
  • 00:23:48.937 --> 00:23:50.338
  • If you were a true child of god, you will never be happy living
  • 00:23:50.338 --> 00:23:55.043
  • In sin.
  • 00:23:55.043 --> 00:23:56.978
  • You're always gonna know what's true.
  • 00:23:56.978 --> 00:23:58.613
  • You're always gonna know what's right.
  • 00:23:58.613 --> 00:24:00.615
  • You may do everything you can to try to fit in with the crowd but
  • 00:24:00.615 --> 00:24:03.952
  • Deep down inside, you know where you belong.
  • 00:24:03.952 --> 00:24:06.621
  • You belong with god's people as a part of the family of god in
  • 00:24:06.621 --> 00:24:10.926
  • The church worshiping the lord.
  • 00:24:10.926 --> 00:24:12.961
  • This is your home, not this culture outside.
  • 00:24:12.961 --> 00:24:22.504
  • And if your conscience is working, thank god for that.
  • 00:24:22.504 --> 00:24:26.675
  • God does not convict you of your sin to drive you away in despair
  • 00:24:26.675 --> 00:24:30.378
  • Or to condemn you.
  • 00:24:30.378 --> 00:24:31.980
  • He convicts you of your sin so you will come to your senses and
  • 00:24:31.980 --> 00:24:35.684
  • Turn to him.
  • 00:24:35.684 --> 00:24:37.118
  • That's the whole point of it, and that's what david did, and
  • 00:24:37.118 --> 00:24:40.322
  • That's what we need to do.
  • 00:24:40.322 --> 00:24:41.690
  • Or maybe i'm talking to someone here who has never asked jesus
  • 00:24:41.690 --> 00:24:45.126
  • Christ to come into their life.
  • 00:24:45.126 --> 00:24:47.162
  • Of course, the very mission of jesus was to be born in
  • 00:24:47.162 --> 00:24:51.166
  • Bethlehem, then to live a perfect life, and then to die
  • 00:24:51.166 --> 00:24:56.037
  • A perfect death.
  • 00:24:56.037 --> 00:24:57.405
  • He came to die for the sin of the world.
  • 00:24:57.405 --> 00:25:01.076
  • He came to die for your sin and mine.
  • 00:25:01.076 --> 00:25:03.512
  • And if i'll turn from my sin and put my faith in him, he will
  • 00:25:03.512 --> 00:25:07.249
  • Forgive me.
  • 00:25:07.249 --> 00:25:08.717
  • Do you need a second chance or a third chance or a fourth chance?
  • 00:25:08.717 --> 00:25:13.355
  • I'm talking to somebody that's been plotting some
  • 00:25:13.355 --> 00:25:16.992
  • Sinful course.
  • 00:25:16.992 --> 00:25:19.127
  • Consider this your wake-up call from the lord today.
  • 00:25:19.127 --> 00:25:26.935
  • Greg: have you ever heard the term gospel before?
  • 00:25:31.006 --> 00:25:33.275
  • It means good news.
  • 00:25:33.275 --> 00:25:34.609
  • But before i can fully appreciate the good news, i have
  • 00:25:34.609 --> 00:25:37.512
  • To know the bad news.
  • 00:25:37.512 --> 00:25:40.015
  • You and i were sinners, which means we've broken
  • 00:25:40.015 --> 00:25:42.951
  • God's commandments.
  • 00:25:42.951 --> 00:25:44.286
  • We've fallen short of his standards.
  • 00:25:44.286 --> 00:25:45.787
  • Good news: jesus christ died in our place.
  • 00:25:45.787 --> 00:25:49.057
  • He came to pay a debt he did not owe because we owed a debt we
  • 00:25:49.057 --> 00:25:52.894
  • Could not pay.
  • 00:25:52.894 --> 00:25:54.262
  • If you will turn from your sin and put your faith in
  • 00:25:54.262 --> 00:25:57.465
  • Jesus christ, you can be forgiven and know that you'll go
  • 00:25:57.465 --> 00:26:01.102
  • To heaven when you die and find the meaning of life right here
  • 00:26:01.102 --> 00:26:04.806
  • On planet earth.
  • 00:26:04.806 --> 00:26:06.141
  • You just call out to jesus and say, "forgive me.
  • 00:26:06.141 --> 00:26:09.044
  • I want to have a relationship with you."
  • 00:26:09.044 --> 00:26:13.048
  • I would like to send you a bible at no charge to help you get
  • 00:26:13.048 --> 00:26:16.885
  • Started in your new relationship with christ.
  • 00:26:16.885 --> 00:26:21.856
