David and Bathsheba

- Is it possible to erase a lifetime of usefulness in one moment of weakness? That seemed to have been the case with David. He lived an exemplary life that pointed forward to Jesus-until his sordid affair with Bathsheba. As Alistair Begg recounts the defining moment of the king’s moral collapse, he points out dangers to avoid and warnings to heed. Yet as we seek to deal with temptation in its infancy, we must also trust that God overcomes sin and shame, never abandons His people, and never loses control of His purposes.
Scripture: 2 Samuel 11:1-5

Quite possibly the best teaching on this dark episode I have ever heard! Praise God Almighty for raising up teachers/pastors like Alastair Begg and others who teach the Truth from the written Word of God.
I pray , Lord help me to remember and walk according to this sermon throughout my life .
Amen
Appreciate Mr. Alistair's message greatly; Modesty is a much needed topic of teaching in the church, I am 67 and have never heard it taught in any church I have ever attended, until 2007 when I moved to TN living near an Amish community and became very dear friends with an Amish lady, the society is in great, great need of it. My friend did not say we 'english' need to dress as they, but the principal of modesty is non exsistent in the majority of the world. Women have a responsibility to men in this. I agree very much. In Joy
Bathsheba wasn’t being immodest. She was bathing in her own home and King David was being a peeping Tom, and he demanded she come to his quarters and that’s where he raped her. She loved her husband. But she was raped .
..so comforting to know i’m not the only one to mess up but actually am in a pretty awesome company!
Great message as always.
Blessed message!
I hope we all recognize how fortunate we should be to be taught by such an amazing mere man who has communed with our Father in heaven so closely for the entirety of his life.
I've spent hundreds of hours listening to Alister teach which such power and purpose and am always amazed how the last sermon I've listened to seems to be the best one yet.
I love you Alister and pray for your continued growth and protection
Thank you for your awesome heart. Speak truth but still offering hope to us older folks who have messed up in our walk with God. Thank you Jesus for grace and mercy. Young people learn, listen to those who have walked before you. See the anguish of poor choices even if it's just for a short season. It is not worth the lasting pain and a legacy of a mess up.
wow, what a powerful message. thank you for sharing🙏
Beautiful sermon
Most greatest Teacher. SO CLEAR!
Listening a second time after listening on Sunday……I always catch something I missed. Always an anointed message from Parkside church and a blessing.

Interesting sermon.
My God my God
Absolutely True
So David became enlightened at Bathsheba’s expense. He sinned against God, by coveting another man’s wife, raped Bathsheba and killed her husband. Then he saw the error of his ways, asked for God’s forgiveness and then went on to become a highly blessed king finding God’s favor. So, then what about Bathsheba? She was just a pawn for David to learn how to turn from sin to God? Did he ask for her forgiveness? The Bible does not say how she turned out. She was used by David as a play thing and then discarded. How did God get revenge for her? Did he care about her? Perhaps a sermon on that would be helpful.
Well, the Bible didn't say that he raped her.
And yes, David took very much care of her! In fact she gave birth to Solomon which David sworn will be the next King which he was! So yeah, she turned out great, she was a very wise woman as Solomon states in his books when he speaks about the teaching his mother gave him.
@@marius-9333 so her value and “success” gauge was to have a king
Child? She lost her husband and baby. So everything is supposed to be okay for her bc the king took her and slept with her? LOL hilarious. Also, we can’t be sure that she wasn’t raped. Bible is vague on this but we know she did not choose for this to happen to her www.bibleodyssey.org/en/people/related-articles/david-and-bathsheba
@UC3dZxoAVdWWDL3ppebo9NpQ no. I did not say that! Being the queen did not made her "successful". But keep in mind that the kind sinned (wages of sin is Death) but she did also! She was not raped! They we're both adulterers (for me,David was a lot more guilty for he should've been God's servant portraing Jesus). Either way they both should've been punished. The victim here is NOT Batsheeba but Hurias!!
@@marius-9333 Yes it does !! “He took her “
That’s rape because the word does not speak about how she wanted him because she did not ! She was raped ! Stop lying !!
Great points
Even with forgiveness, David still deserves to be severely punished for his crimes once he enters the afterlife. The fact that Bathsheba and Uriah’s lives were utterly RUINED by that monster who’s *”after God’s heart”* is purely detestable. Anything less than severe punishment on David’s end is a great injustice. God has to PROPERLY make this right. That being, Uriah and Bathsheba reuniting in heaven, marrying each other forever, and having a child with Uriah’s and Bathsheba’s blood. All of this while severely punishing King David for his crimes even further in the afterlife.
David was a peeping Tom. He was looking in places that were not his business. She’s in her home , in her bathroom . David was a peeping Tom.
Not true. She was on the roof of her house. Out in the open to the extent that she could be observed. Perhaps enjoying the cooler temperatures on the roof . We won’t know til heaven the extent of her culpability. However, if one is summoned by the king, her husband being one of David’s mighty men and currently at war, she could have thought she would receive news of her husband. But she was, in fact, summoned by the king. I don’t think many would have declined. The Lord places responsibility for the adultery squarely with David. He should have looked away, turned to God, protected his family and protected Bathsheba from his lust. He treated her as an object, selfishly disregarding the commandments of God and the needs of his family and kingdom in the moment. She was someone’s wife and daughter. David betrayed God, his own wives and children, Bathsheba, whom he should have protected from his lust, and Uriah, one of his loyal, mighty men whose life was at that very moment at risk on the field of battle. In Nathan’s parable, responsibility is placed squarely on the shoulders of the king. And Bathsheba would have soul searching to do, as she did not see her husband alive again. Did she know David had Uriah killed? Did she forgive David for his predatory invitation? In reading 1 & 2 Samuel again, it is clear David is a flawed human being, as we ALL are. And God is kind, gracious, loving and holy. We are all like David, sinners in need of the Savior, forgiveness and relationship with the one true God. ❤
So David has a moment of weakness yet what do they say about women who have affairs? I can't watch the whole thing but II don't think I ever remember scriptures cutting women any slack.
If you’re a Calvinist, then God ACTUALLY DECREED for David to do what he did!
Be consistent with your own Calvinism please!
All part of God's plan.
@@HearGodsWord David’s sin was part of God’s plan????????? My God is HOLY!! What’s YOUR god???
@@johndisalvo6283 we're all sinners and God uses sinners, so a moot point. It doesn't question God's holiness either. Seems you're too blinded by having an anti-Reformed view - typically too busy trying to say everyone else is wrong without demonstrating what's right. I guess that's why you couldn't answer me.
@@HearGodsWord Stop diverting! Every time you have lustful thoughts, is it God making you lustful, or is it you??? Simple question?
@@johndisalvo6283 I'm not diverting. What I did was make accurate and valid points that are Biblically true.
25:20 = (WHO IS AT FAULT) 26:28 = (COFFEE WITH BATHSHEBA) 29:41 = (PROBLEMS) IT’S FUN NOT BEING A REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Is this for real, all these people thinking it was ok what happened? I Dont believe this bible story, king david was a rightous man, if this is a true story about our prophet, then im not a follower of this character, rather buy the quran story about David, this character is wicked and king David was a good man because My God only chooses the GOOD to be prophets.
Nobody is good, not even one
@@BunceChris89 so our examples are murdering adulterous people? God choose them? There are no lesser evils?
@@abm6072 we're all murderers and adulterers and more at heart. But God uses us to show us His love and grace, but more importantly to glorify His son. Watch Paul Washer's sermon the doctrine of man.
@@BunceChris89 im not, you may be
@@abm6072 have you ever hated someone in your heart? Have you ever lusted after someone? Have you ever dishonored your parents? Or God? Have you ever stolen? Are you comparing yourself to other people or to a Holy and righteous God? The story isn't about how great David is, it's about how we will never measure up without God's grace. And the ones that God has said over and over he opposes are those who are righteous in their own eyes.
