• When David sinned by committing adultery with Bathsheba, it seemed like he would get away with it.

• After he arranged for her husband’s death, David married Bathsheba, and they enjoyed their new child together.

• The Bible has no record of anyone from David’s inner crowd chastising him for his sin. Not the servants who sent for Bathsheba.

• Not the general (Joab) who put Uriah in a place where he would be killed in battle.



• However, there was a prophet of God who wouldn’t let David get away with his sin.

• Nathan was wise in his approach to David—he didn’t come right out and say what David had done.



• Instead, he told a story about a man who loved his ewe lamb and how a rich man (with many flocks and herds) selfishly slaughtered the poor man’s beloved lamb in order to entertain company.



• David was outraged and called for the rich man’s death.

• In response, Nathan said to David, “You are the man!”


2 S A M U E L 1 2 : 7

• Then Nathan said to David, "You are the man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.

• When you hear a sermon, hear it for yourself and not your neighbor.

• "That was a great sermon pastor, I only wish my cousin Suzy would have been able to

hear it."

• When you hear a sermon, listen for what can be helpful rather than jumping to critique.

• Be careful to not undermine the work God wants to do in you and your church community

because you have spent the whole morning being critical.

• When you hear a sermon, find a way to keep your mind attentive.

• Our inability to keep our mind on the subject at hand is a barrier for hearing

the content of the sermon.

• "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
