II Samuel 11:1-4 - David’s sin with Bathsheba

When David did not do what he should, he ended up doing what he should not.

If a man such as David could commit such horrible sin, how could we think we are exempt?

In our series so far, everything about David has been very positive. We saw him exceptional:

• as a young man
• in his understanding
• in his zeal
• in his behavior
• in his influence
• in his prayer
• in his desire
• in his patience
• in his lamentation
• in his fear
• in his praise
• in his kindness

This is a chapter in the life of David that we all wish was not in the Bible. But it is.

With more than 25 pastors and church planters (and their families) in attendance, this year’s Church Planting and  Home Missions Conference was a tremendous time of encouragement. Many needs were met. The preaching was especially poignant for this day and time. Preachers and their families were moved “forward on their journey”

Each year following Thanksgiving our church hosts pastors and missionaries and their families from all over the western United States.

These men, their wives and families dedicate their entire lives to the work of God by way of church planting. Following the call of God, they make great sacrifices and place much faith on the Lord. These great servants of the Lord step out by faith, trusting the Lord to provide their daily needs.

The purpose of the 2009 Church Planting and Home Missions Conference is to provide an opportunity for these church planters to be encouraged. Many independent Baptist churches of like faith will assemble to be a part of providing for the needs of church planting families. Read more…
