This week we wrap up our series with the most difficult sermon, looking at a very well-known, sad story in 2 Samuel 11, focusing on David, with a message  titled “The Sin No One Plans For.” Our hope and prayer for this Sunday is for some to come clean, for others to build guardrails, and to be reminded not to throw stones—“but for the grace of God, so go we all.” This story is packed with wisdom to learn from, lessons on what to do and what not to do. Our sinful nature and the devil don’t play fair. We’re never at a place where sin is beyond us. King David had been king for around 20 years, and following a victory, he grew comfortable and put his guard down. There is usually a small compromise that we convince ourselves of that ends up costing us later.

In this story we hyper-focus on David; he is the main character. However, what about Bathsheba? Her story is equally important and begs a very important question we must address. Also observe that all sin is forgivable, but some sins follow you. There are some things done that cannot be undone in this life until we get to heaven.

The tension in the life of David is this catastrophic sin he commits, and yet… God forgave him. It’s a reminder of the character of God, the love and forgiveness He offers. David truly repents of his sin and later is called “a man after God’s own heart.” There is biblical hope for everyone. No matter what you have done or where you have come from, God invites you: “Seek the Lord while He may be found.”
