Sound Doctrine

l. Needless to say, David had a lot of ups and downs in his life. He strayed from God, he committed heinous crimes, and yet, he was remorseful and repented on may occasions, and ended up being described as a man after God’s own heart. As we conclude our look at chapter fourteen today, we see David on the run from his very own son!

To have loyalty means that there are quite possibly those who are betraying you. King David faced this from his very own son, Absalom. It’s a sad story - but not without hope - and an important lesson to be learned.

Today on Sound Doctrine, pastor Jeff returns to Second Samuel. In chapter thirteen, we encounter a strained relationship between a father and son. This results in Absalom the King having his half-brother Amnon killed.

Today we look again at Second Samuel thirteen. It’s remarkable that a man named Absalom will draw the hearts of the nation away from King David and become King himself. Absalom was handsome and winsome… but that’s all he was.

Sexual assault is a serious crime. In the day and age we live in, it is treated very seriously. Back in the days we are looking at in Second Samuel, we see a scene in which Amnon lures his half sister Tamar to his sickbed and assaults her. It’s a story with several tragic results. Tamar’s life is shaken to the core, and Amnon ends up dead!

Second Samuel thirteen records the tragic story of Tamar, who was sexually assaulted by her half brother - Amnon. What led to this awful sin? In part -Amnon had a friend who was no friend at all.

If we look at the biblical record, we see that many times in the past, man has made sin a priority, and the consequences are dire. We’ll look at a good example today, as we again go to Second Samuel chapter twelve. King David - a man after God’s own heart - has sinned with Bathsheba and the results are devastating.

Today we continue in the book of Second Samuel chapter twelve, with the story of David’s sin, and David’s friend Nathan, who cared enough to reprove him.

As we continue in 2nd Samuel chapter twelve today, we are reminded once again that sin always has consequences. Now, if you pay attention to social media and television, you’d get the opposite impression. Sin is accepted. Sin is celebrated. And if you dare confront someone with their sin, well, be prepared to be ostracized and criticized and marginalized!

Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson shares the story of David and Bathsheba. You probably know the adultery and murder coverup quite well, if you have been a Christian for a while. Nine months after the sin, David is confronted, and then experiences what God’s forgiveness is all about. It’s a heart warming story of love and grace, and we hope you can join us for it.
