    The Greenhouse Of Sin

    based on 16 ratings
     | 2,050 views

    We need to learn, like David did, the awful price of sin. But even greater than it’s power is the power of Jesus Christ to forgive.

    Passage: 2 Samuel 11 Intro: The TV shows we watch laugh at sin 1. sin is the biggest joke in the American culture. 2. we are a strangely hypocritical society, on one hand decrying the promiscuity and drug addiction of our youth, while at the same time promoting these very things in the media. 3. ...read more

     | 2,357 views

    We think of God’s grace as the forgiveness of our sins, but it is far more than that. David experienced the full gamut of the grace of God in response to his sin.

    Passage: 2 Samuel 12:1-14 Intro: When we think of the word “grace”, the vast majority of believers focus on the forgiveness of our sins. Il) “Wonderful grace of Jesus, greater than all my sins.” “Marvelous grace of our loving Lord, grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt.” Etc. 1. great ...read more

    King David, more than any other person in the Biblical record, illustrates the moral range of human nature. Look at these snapshots of his life to see the grace of God at work in one messed up fella.

    Message - A Study of King David Snapshots of King David’s character and Scenes from his life I’ve always found King David to be one of the most fascinating guys in the Bible.

    Lust At First Sight Series

    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,998 views

    Lust is more than sex. It is about power. It is about the overwhelming desire for power. Sex was not the main issue in David’s sin with Bathsheba. It was the lust for power and control.

    Lust at First Sight II Samuel 11:2-5 March 6, 2005 This fellow had a dream in which he was transported to heaven. In his vision, St. Peter was showing him around the place when the guy noticed that there were clocks everywhere. Everywhere he went there were clocks…thousands of them, hundreds of ...read more

    I recently saw a photo of three expensive cars encased in ice in the garage of a million-dollar house when the pipes froze while the owner was away.

    This is about David’s affair with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah.

    Have you ever heard someone say, “Oh, the Bible is so boring. It’s just a bunch of ‘begets’ and ‘begots’ and a bunch of stuff that happen thousands of years ago”? Our passage today certainly cannot be considered boring. We have a sex scandal at the highest levels of government. There are ...read more
