2025 Christmas Eve Lessons and Carols - Full Service

This passage records the sad progression of unrepentant sin in the life of David, leading to more and worse sins. The final result was God's displeasure. By contrast, Uriah provides an example of godly integrity that pleases the LORD, as well as a picture of hope in Christ.

This sermon explains definite atonement: Christ's death was necessary because of sin and fully satisfied God's justice. While His sacrifice is sufficient for all, it was intended to effectively save the elect, actually securing their salvation. Believers are called to rest in Christ's finished work and respond with gratitude and trust.
