2 Samuel 11-12 - David and Bathsheba

Even heroes fall when they stop guarding their hearts. David’s sin with Bathsheba exposes how temptation grows in the quiet moments, how sin multiplies through secrecy, and how deeply it wounds everyone it touches. Yet these chapters also reveal the mercy of God—who confronts, convicts, forgives, and restores. Pastor Paul walks through David’s failure, Nathan’s bold confrontation, the painful consequences that follow, and the surprising hope that emerges through repentance and God’s steadfast love. You’ll see both the seriousness of sin and the beauty of a God who lifts the broken and leads them back to Himself.
