A preschool teacher placed a lump of coal before the children, telling them it would reveal who had broken the window, and this simple scene opens a reflection on our habit of hiding guilt. The sermon leads us to King David, whom the prophet Nathan confronted over his concealed sin with the words, ‘You are that man’ (2 Samuel 12). It turns out that being confronted with God’s word is not meant to crush us, but to lead us to confession and forgiveness, even when earthly consequences remain. Listen to how God fights for a person harder than we fight for our own alibi.
Confronted by God
Saga
We all love listening to colorful stories, especially those that tell of the real lives of real people. SAGA is a series of sermons about David’s life from the moment he became king. We want to take a particularly close look at his family and the relationships he had with his loved ones, because our daily choices affect not only ourselves but also others.
