A Spiritual Barometer

Aug 2, 2023    Pastor Matt Keller

For this Bible study, we explore the all-too-human struggle with sin, as told through the biblical story of David's adultery and betrayal. Listen in as we discuss the natural, fleshly reactions we tend to have when confronted with our sin - anger, defensiveness, and even bitterness. But there's another way, a biblical way to respond, marked by godly sorrow, humility, and confession. 


We continue the conversation by examining the famous biblical narrative of King David's sin, taking a close look at his strategic decision to stay in Jerusalem, his fatal attraction to Bathsheba, and the resulting deceit and murder. The poignant moment when God, through Nathan, confronts David about his sin highlights a crucial truth - sin can never be hidden from God. Join us as we unpack this powerful story and its implications for our own lives, and consider the two possible responses to sin - responding in the flesh or responding biblically.
