Jason Webb talked me into preaching at Brooklife Church this weekend.
My topic: 2 Samuel 11 - 12. David and Bathsheba...
I have some good thoughts on it, but still am struggling to find a way to make it all work that doesn't get loaded down with details or just repeat a story that most everyone already knows...
Here are some questions I am trying to work through... if you have a few minutes, read the passage yourself and tell me what you think...
1. Do you think people are more lenient with their own sinful patterns than those of others?
2. Are Christians overly prone to write off others in Judgement?
3. Do you see people as less valuable because of their sinfulness?
4. Why is it easier to be offended at the sins of others, or to really deal with my own sin and temptation?
5. In what areas of my life and I:
“on the roof”;
“attempting a coverup”;
“killing another”;
“pretending it never happened”
6. Why do we tend to judge the actions of others, but justify our own actions? How do we stop doing both?
7. How do we learn to flee temptation without living in constant fear of our sin nature.
