David fell so far, so fast, and he didn’t even realize it until the dullness of his soul spread to every inch of his spiritual life. Soon his cold and lonely heart was combined with his tormented soul and trapped in a painfully chastened body. And he stayed at the bottom like that for almost […]

In the back of your mind, have you ever wondered whether it’s even possible to be completely forgiven and cleansed of all your sins? What about truly bad ones that have been hidden from nearly everyone who knows you? Complete forgiveness may seem impossible if you are the type others would never dream of as […]

This morning as we open to Titus 2:7, we return to the 21st Century Men of Grace Series we have been studying this past year. As you turn back to that little New Testament epistle of Titus, here is a quick overview and back ground to this passage: Titus was a companion in ministry of […]

The first observation a student studying God’s Word would make in Psalm 32 is that: David is so thankful for his sin being forgiven, that he uses four different Hebrew words to describe the depths God had to go to accomplish his forgiveness in just the first two verses. But that same careful student of […]

All that really matters in life may be reduced to one simple reality–what does God think of what I am doing or have done. Our lives can be focused by one simple truth: am I pleasing or displeasing God? All that mattered at that moment and for eternity—Is what God thought of what David had […]

As we open to II Samuel 12, try to think of the searing pain that would come when secret, private sins get exposed for all the world to see. Just imagine what David felt as the truth of what he had done could no longer be hidden. That is the event and those are the […]

As we return to Titus 2:7 we are looking at Paul explaining to Titus, how vitally Biblical Doctrine shapes the integrity of a believer’s life. Paul admonishes Titus to live a life of integrity that has the moral purity which lines up in secret, with the pure doctrine that he proclaimed in public. This is […]

Jesus said that when we are faithful in little things it shows that we will be worthy of great things. Look at Luke 16:10: He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. David was amazing at […]

Salvation is so personal: we are His sheep; we can hear His voice; and—the way we know we are His comes from following His voice. Think of a shepherd who speaks, and of sheep that turn their heads, listen, and then start walking towards him. That is true Christianity! Following Christ’s voice in His Word […]

As we open to II Samuel 11, David has finally made it to the top. Giants are killed, enemies are dead, life on the run is over, and normal life has finally started for David. As we will see, it is precisely when things are going “great” that we face some of the most lethal […]

Today, God asks for every man in Christ’s Church to make daily choices to regain and maintain a sober-minded restrained life, surrendered to God’s gracious sanctifying power. Open in your Bibles with me to Titus 2:6: Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded (NKJV) The Greek word God inspires Paul to write is a […]

David from the Bible was just a man. He had a job, a house, a family, and all the other little details of life. Though he was a King, an inspired Psalm writer, and a man after God’s own heart: he was also 100% normal human. So as we look at the longest stretch of […]
