The King Who Needs a Savior, May 17th, 2026

2 Samuel 11:1-5 I. David’s Captivity to Sin 1. David Was Blessed 2 Samuel 10:18-19 Proverbs 30:8-9: “Give me neither poverty nor riches—feed me with the food allotted to me; lest I be full and deny You, and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’” 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 2. David Was Disengaged 3. David Was in a Place Where He Could Be Tempted “Desire rises suddenly and takes hold of us, and in that moment, God fades from view. We do not resist God—we simply forget Him.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer James 1:14-15 II. David’s Cover-Up of Sin (2 Samuel 11:6-27) 2 Samuel 11:27 Numbers 32:23: “Be sure your sin will find you out.” Galatians 6:7-8 Psalm 32:3-5 2 Samuel 12:1-9 III. David’s Confession of Sin 2 Samuel 12:8 James 4:1-4 2 Samuel 12:9 2 Samuel 12:13-15 1. Gospel-Centered Repentance Throws Itself Completely on God’s Mercy (Psalm 51:1-2) Application: We come empty-handed, trusting that God’s mercy is our only hope—and that is enough. 2. Gospel-Centered Repentance Confesses Sin as Deeply Rooted in the Heart (Psalm 51:3-6) Application: “What does this reveal about what I love, fear, or trust more than God?” 3. Gospel-Centered Repentance Is First and Greatest Toward God (Psalm 51:4) Application: We will never truly hate sin until we grieve what it does to our relationship with God. 4. Gospel-Centered Repentance Cries Out for a New Heart God Alone Can Give (Psalm 51:7-12) Application: What David longed for has been accomplished in Jesus: forgiveness through the cross, cleansing by His blood, and renewal by the Spirit. No sin is too deep, no heart too broken, for God to restore.

A Godly Mother Teaches Her Children to Have Faith in God 2 Timothy 3:15, (partial) “…from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” Dr. Michael Guido, Your baby is like a clean slate. You may write upon his heart whatever you desire. He is like a dry sponge ready to absorb all the moral moisture in your home. He is like a blank sheet of white paper waiting for the pen of your heart and hand. That sheet will take whatever is written upon it. Deuteronomy 6:4-7 1. When rising up – Start your day with praise (music, greetings, breakfast together, bible verses, singing, prayer) 2. When lying down – End your day with thanksgiving and short talks (bedtime stories, prayers, music, books.) 3. When you’re walking along the way – Look for teaching moments during the day when unexpected things happen. 4. Sitting at home – Plan family time, discussions, activities, and bible study. Psalm 127:3-4 Proverbs 22:6 D.L. Moody, “There is no gauge to God’s promises. You may pray for weeks, months, or years; you may go down to your grave, and your prayers may not all be answered, but perhaps around your coffin that wayward boy may be converted. We are instructed to pray and never cease … if we get discouraged and quit we are disobeying God, and we are not doing what the Lord would like for us to do.” 3. A Godly Mother Prays for Her Children to Have Faith in God

Not everyone will accept an act of kindness. 2. Listening to bad advice can be very costly. 3. If you humiliate others one day they will humiliate you.
