    based on 67 ratings
     | 19,048 views

    The temptation to look where we shouldn’t look is hard for most men. What had Bathsheba done wrong? What had David done wrong? And how do we deal with ourselves and others who do those wrong things?

    OPEN: The true story is told of a banquet where a famous religious leader found himself seated next to an extremely beautiful woman who was wearing a gown with a perilously low neckline. Instead of becoming angry or embarrassed or pretending to be unaware of her exposure he offered her an apple. ...read more

    David reminds us that the relationship between our love for God and our potential for sin is deeper than we realize.

    In 1501, Michelangelo was presented with a huge piece of marble and commissioned to create a statue of David for the Cathedral in Florence, Italy. Other sculptors had rejected the stone because of a defect. Michelangelo, however, began a work that would take three years to complete. He knew that ...read more

    Have I Sinned Too Much For God To Forgive?

     | 9,685 views

    This message tells of God’s forgiveness no matter what the sin. We will look at David and Saul of Tarsus.

    I have been a pastor for about 25 years. In this period of time, I have talked to many people who have said that they had sinned too much for God to forgive. Then you have the people who say, “ I just can’t forgive myself.” You would think as many churches that we have in America that we ...read more

    We can learn from this episode in the life of David how the devil’s playground is built in our life.

    The Devil’s Playground II Samuel 11:1-5 I. The Devil’s Playground Is Built on Idleness (v. 1) A. Idleness From God’s Calling 1. God’s Call to Vocational Ministry 2. God’s Call to Lay Ministry B.

    If marriages are the highest of all human relationships, why do so many fall apart? What can we do to prevent this kind of disaster from happening to us? (Based on a book by Bob Russell)

    Lust At First Sight Series

    based on 15 ratings
     | 7,023 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

    What do we learn from David’s Life?

    1. There is a man of whom God said: ¡°This is a man after my own heart.¡± 2. What a great expression and admiration from God that we can have, ¡®This is a man after my own heart.¡¯ Wow! 3.

    based on 68 ratings
     | 8,773 views

    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

    A Look at the dangerous nature of sin through the story of David and Bathseba

    When I was growing up there were two things I really liked, Gameboy and bouncy balls. The only problem was that I didn’t own a Gameboy, and it always seemed like the bouncy ball I wanted belonged to someone else. My oldest brother Jay did have a gameboy and he kept it in his closet in a white ...read more

Allow me to do just a little bit of review for you. The Seven Deadly Sins are not found listed in the Bible, but they are a list of sinful attitudes ...read more

    When faced with temptation, run the other way.

    Humpty Dumpty I like the Bible. Sure, it seems a given that a person in my position would, but I like it for more than just the obvious reasons. Reasons such as, it’s God’s Word, our directions for living, a history of Christianity. No, I like it for another reason, as ...read more

    Here we discover, once again, the two central elements in the way God deals with his people. Here we find God’s justice and mercy going hand in hand as he deals with a failed leader.

    Someone asked me the other day, "Why do we have to have all these stories from the Old Testament. They’re so gruesome!" Well, the reason we have to hear these stories is because they’ve been put here to tell us about God. You see, these aren’t just stories about David, or Saul, or Samuel. They’re ...read more

    Lust craves to use people for our "needs" and desires. It is the exact opposite of the love and focus on the needs of others that Jesus calls us to.

    II Samuel 11:1-5, Matthew 5:27-30 “A Good Gift Gone Bad” (Lust) INTRODUCTION We live in a society that panders to lust. Everywhere we look—billboards, magazines, movies and television—we view provocative pictures. The goal of modern clothing fashion is to be alluring. The idea of turning ...read more
