On Sunday, David’s life-ending song offered us new-life beginning blessings, offering us God’s promises of Protection and Power to overcome and be freed from the enemies in our lives, if we cry out to Him, admitting that we need His help, and let His Spirit fill us and lead us in God’s ways; which God wants to do for us because He delights in us, no matter what we have done, no matter what our life circumstances may be. (2 Samuel 22; Psalm 18)

Sunday – Monday Connection
On Sunday, God offered us the blessing of Family Truths (which, unfortunately, David failed to face and embrace): When a member of our family sins, confront them with their sin and with consequences; when family members are estranged, take action to reconcile them to each other; when a family member sins against us, offer forgiveness, mercy, and love, even if we have to take the initiative, before it is too late. (2 Samuel 13-18)

On Sunday, God blessed us with showing us the way “out of sin” once we get in, showing us how David was cleansed of his sin with Bathsheba and Uriah: By confrontation of the sinner with the sin, to face the facts; confession of the facts and consequences and wrongness of the sin, to receive forgiveness; Contrition through sorrow and submission, to cleanse our hearts and give us a new chance at a new life. (2 Samuel 12:1-13; Psalm 51)
August 7, 2011 Sermon: A Heart for God – Can Sin
On Sunday, God showed us David’s downward spiraling life of sins, to offer us the blessings of how to be led away from sin and led into the good life He wants for us: Showing us how sin begins – when we are most vulnerable (“I.N. R.A.G.S.”); how sin grows – in small incremental steps, aided by self deceit; how sin can be defeated – by turning away and turning it over to God, with guidance from His Word, and strength from His Family (“R.I.G.H.T.”). (2 Samuel 11)
