Sermon Text:
Psalm 51:1-19
Excerpt
Israel’s king David. A man the bible refers to as “a man after God’s Own Heart” (Acts 13:22) is one of the great figures in all of scripture. But, he didn’t always look like such a great and Godly figure. To read the full story of David’s great sin, see 2 Samuel 11-12. The plot line goes something like this: David slept with the wife (Bathsheba) of one of his most committed soldiers (Uriah), and when he was unable to cover it up, he had Uraih killed, and took Bathsheba as his wife. This is one of the most awful betrayals and evils in scripture, yet even after this takes place David is held up as a great man. How can this be? How could someone who had done such evil, be restored to prominence? Simply put, David’s heart was transformed through a confession which relied completely on the steadfast love and abundant mercy of God. David was and is an example of Godliness, because he was a man who deeply desired that God would change his heart. And God did just that.
