2 Samuel Part 2 – The Undignified Path
Join us as we step into 2 Samuel 11 – yes: David, Bathsheba, and Uriah. It’s messy and uncomfortable, and it shows us something real about the human heart.
This isn’t just about adultery. It’s about how we excuse the sins we like while condemning the ones we don’t. The Bible talks about sin in a few ways: transgression (open rebellion), iniquity (that inward bent in us), and sin (missing the mark). David’s story shows how what’s brewing inside eventually shows up on the outside. We usually don’t plan to wreck our lives, we just keep choosing what feels right in the moment.
The question isn’t only “Is this good or bad?” but “Is this within God’s design?” God’s boundaries aren’t random, they’re protective.
When Nathan confronts David, he doesn’t hide. He humbles himself and confesses. That’s what sets him apart: not perfection, but repentance. And that’s the heart of Christianity. It’s not about being flawless; it’s about bringing our sin into the light and letting Jesus cover it.
And one more reminder: when we drift from what God’s called us to and grow passive, we become vulnerable. But no matter how far we’ve wandered, grace is still on the table.
