God has an important message He wants to get through to us. Sin is serious. Our sins separate us from God. As he brought the Ark to the City of David, David rejoiced dancing before the Lord, responding to the grace of God. "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.” - Romans 5:1,2
Shawn Stone, 2 Samuel 9, March 22, 2017
“CHECED” means kindness, loving kindness, mercy,grace and loyalty. David didn't just talk about kindess, he wants to live it and show mercy and honor Jonathan's son. David restores Mephibosheth. David invited him to his table.
Shawn Stone, April 5, 2017, 2 Samuel 11
David was blessed. Then he disengaged. Then David compromised and sinned. The seed for any sin is in all of us. But God's grace is always greater than our sin. Ask God to search your heart.
Shawn Stone, 2 Samuel 12:1-13, April 19, 2017
The three tactics of denial are to disagree, defend, or distract. "When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long." - Psalm 32:3 Because of the kindness of grace we are assured of forgiveness.
