The Trials of a King
As always, feel free to answer questions in the comments (especially the "Digging Deeper" ones) and share any thoughts you might have about the "Personal Action." Or, let us know if YOU have a question!
CHECKING YOUR COMPREHENSION
1. What were some factors that led to David's sin with Bathsheba?
2. Bathsheba is silent in this story? What do you think was going through her head during this story?
3. The Bible often says the sins of parents will continue to be judged in the lives of their children. How did David's sin affect the future of his family?
4. David was allowed to plan the temple, but God told him that his SON would be the one to actually build it. How do you think David felt about that? How did David respond?
DIGGING DEEPER
1. In the last chapter, when Saul was confronted with his sin, he made excuses instead of taking responsibility. What does David do when the prophet Nathan confronts him with his sin?
2. God forgave David ... but he still had to suffer the consequences for his sin. What were the immediate consequences? Long-term?
PERSONAL ACTION
Why is it important for us to remember that even though we walk in God's grace, we TOO still must suffer the consequences for our sinful actions?
And what do we learn about the holiness and heart of God when we consider Nathan's interactions with David?
This is a safe place to be able to share questions and fears and doubts. You can post using your name or not, whichever you prefer. And if you choose to respond to someone's comment, please be gentle with your words.
