00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.140
 Open up your copy of God's Word.

00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:05.940
 The Sacred Scripture, the Holy Writ.

00:00:06.020 --> 00:00:09.380
! Open it up to 2 Samuel chapter 11.

00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:12.000
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.579
 This has been a seven-part series.

00:00:32.740 --> 00:00:35.299
 But last week we looked at David the King

00:00:35.299 --> 00:00:38.480
 and how he became king over a united Israel.

00:00:39.740 --> 00:00:45.579
 And so far, David has come across like this great, invincible hero.

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:52.060
 But as we know, he is a fallen man, he is a sinful man,

00:00:52.060 --> 00:00:54.679
 and he cannot be our Messiah.

00:00:54.679 --> 00:01:02.219
 And it's painted very, very clearly for us in 2 Samuel chapters 11 and 12,

00:01:03.019 --> 00:01:06.620
 which today we are looking at David and Bathsheba.

00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:09.579
 And so it's found in these two chapters.

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:11.519
 But at this point, if you can remember,

00:01:11.700 --> 00:01:17.420
 David is at the apex of his military, political, and economical power.

00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.200
 He has been anointed king over a united Israel,

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:29.299
 of Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Asher, Gad, Issachar, Zebulun,

00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.159
 Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin.

00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:37.300
 He's united all these 12 tribes into one single nation.

00:01:37.900 --> 00:01:40.960
 He's made Jerusalem the capital of the nation,

00:01:41.060 --> 00:01:44.340
 the center of the political and religious life of the nation.

00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:49.680
 And he successfully brought the ark of God into the capital.

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:54.540
 And he has defeated all the pagan enemies that were around him.

00:01:55.160 --> 00:02:02.120
 He has conquered all the pagan, demonic deities that were worshipped by these nations

00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.200
 that had surrounded them for so long.

00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.040
 He won victories and consolidated his kingdom.

00:02:08.780 --> 00:02:11.500
 But most importantly, as we looked at last week,

00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:17.219
 God made an unconditional covenant with David to establish his house,

00:02:17.979 --> 00:02:22.099
 his dynasty, eternally, promising him an eternal throne.

00:02:22.180 --> 00:02:24.139
 We looked at the Davidic covenant,

00:02:24.259 --> 00:02:29.539
 how one day God would raise up one from David's line

00:02:29.539 --> 00:02:33.580
 who would have an eternal kingdom and would build the Lord's house.

00:02:33.580 --> 00:02:36.620
 And ultimately, we know, as we looked at last week,

00:02:36.660 --> 00:02:41.380
 that that promise was fulfilled in the person and work of Jesus Christ,

00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:46.080
 the son of David, but also the son of God and the Lord of David.

00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:49.760
 We looked at Psalm 110 a little bit last week.

00:02:50.100 --> 00:02:52.980
 And he built God's true spiritual temple.

00:02:53.180 --> 00:02:53.820
 Jesus did.

00:02:54.340 --> 00:02:55.540
 First Peter 2.5.

00:02:55.539 --> 00:02:59.840
 And Jesus will rule on the throne forever, and his rule will have no end.

00:02:59.939 --> 00:03:06.359
 So, as we looked at all this, like truly, God has given David some amazing blessings.

00:03:06.519 --> 00:03:09.919
 He's lavished so much love upon one man.

00:03:10.979 --> 00:03:15.019
 And at this point, he is probably roughly around 50 years old.

00:03:15.099 --> 00:03:18.079
 He's at the height of his power and prosperity.

00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:20.739
 It's his time of jubilee.

00:03:21.019 --> 00:03:22.979
 He's accomplished all these things.

00:03:22.979 --> 00:03:25.699
 He has trusted God and obeyed God.

00:03:27.019 --> 00:03:34.620
 And, but, even though he's at the pinnacle of his power as the king,

00:03:35.819 --> 00:03:42.079
 however, it's times like this that Scripture teaches that we must be on guard,

00:03:42.679 --> 00:03:45.019
 lest we be lulled to sleep.

00:03:46.019 --> 00:03:48.099
 Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 10.12,

00:03:48.099 --> 00:03:55.060
 Therefore, let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed, lest he fall.

00:03:56.500 --> 00:03:56.859
 Alright?

00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:02.439
 We must never grow comfortable as believers thinking that we're in such a place of maturity,

00:04:03.780 --> 00:04:06.639
 such an advance in our walk with the Lord,

00:04:06.799 --> 00:04:10.519
 that we transform from a place of humility and dependence,

00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.560
 to a place of pride and independence from God.

00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.600
 We do this often when we are doing well,

00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.240
 when the life seems to be going well.

00:04:23.019 --> 00:04:27.560
 David never ran from a fight while he was being chased by all his adversaries.

00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.699
 As long as he was being hunted like a deer in the mountains,

00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:33.120
 he was always close to God.

00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:34.600
 Right?

00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:41.560
 But, now, a stealthier foe kind of lurks in the darkness.

00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:47.300
 And, while this happens, while he's in a place of security.

00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:48.600
 Right?

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:52.020
 So, look at 2 Samuel chapter 11.

00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:53.379
 Just look at the first verse.

00:04:54.220 --> 00:04:55.100
 First verse.

00:04:55.200 --> 00:04:56.780
 We read in 2 Samuel 11.

00:04:56.779 --> 00:05:03.819
 In the spring of the year, the time when the kings go out to battle,

00:05:04.779 --> 00:05:08.899
 David sent Joab and his servants with him in all Israel.

00:05:09.500 --> 00:05:13.859
 And they ravaged the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah.

00:05:14.539 --> 00:05:18.000
 But David remained at Jerusalem.

00:05:19.299 --> 00:05:20.099
 So, pause.

00:05:20.100 --> 00:05:23.820
 This one verse should make us tremble.

00:05:23.939 --> 00:05:24.800
 David was the king.

00:05:24.900 --> 00:05:27.120
 He was the commander-in-chief.

00:05:28.080 --> 00:05:32.760
 Yet, he chooses not to be with his army or his men.

00:05:32.820 --> 00:05:34.879
 And he delegates his power to Joab.

00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:37.300
 And he seeks ease.

00:05:38.700 --> 00:05:39.200
 Often,

00:05:40.820 --> 00:05:42.900
 now this is true in my own life,

00:05:42.939 --> 00:05:43.840
 and I'm sure it is in yours,

00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:47.239
 often the first step towards temptation,

00:05:47.899 --> 00:05:52.039
 and then eventually sin is not being where we are supposed to be.

00:05:53.239 --> 00:05:54.239
 It happens.

00:05:55.159 --> 00:05:56.000
 So, think on it.

00:05:56.039 --> 00:06:01.899
 David is no longer a humble shepherd sleeping out in the rain in the fields with smelly sheep.

00:06:02.559 --> 00:06:06.439
 He's no longer the chieftain of an outlaw clan like Judah.

00:06:07.500 --> 00:06:11.519
 But, to the contrary, now he's had opulence.

00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:16.240
 He's had every opportunity to indulge himself in the luxuries of life as the king.

00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:21.379
 He has had all the fat of the land brought to him on a platter.

00:06:21.979 --> 00:06:25.979
 All the delicacies were brought to him from all over the land that he had conquered.

00:06:26.699 --> 00:06:27.899
 He lived a...

00:06:27.899 --> 00:06:30.759
 Now he could have a pampered lifestyle if he choose.

00:06:31.359 --> 00:06:33.459
 Clothes and fine scarlet and linen.

00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:36.759
 The choices so fair to eat.

00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.060
 And as one man said,

00:06:40.099 --> 00:06:44.779
 his soul grew lean while his flesh was pampered.

00:06:46.219 --> 00:06:49.639
 Riches of the earth are ours freely,

00:06:49.779 --> 00:06:51.099
 and God gives them to us.

00:06:51.259 --> 00:06:53.980
 Blessings of providence and his generosity.

00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.699
 Yet, when we grow at such ease,

00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:01.000
 we can often choose to refuse to do the Lord's work.

00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:05.300
 And like David, not go out to battle, but fall into slothfulness.

00:07:06.420 --> 00:07:10.879
 He pridefully begins to feel entitled and comfort.

00:07:11.819 --> 00:07:15.079
 And not remaining humble before God.

00:07:15.939 --> 00:07:18.339
 As we're warned in Proverbs 16, 18,

00:07:18.540 --> 00:07:21.680
 pride goes before destruction.

00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.519
 And a haughty spirit before the fall.

00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:27.979
 So true.

00:07:28.180 --> 00:07:30.699
 Spurgeon wrote of this case,

00:07:30.859 --> 00:07:32.419
 There is a devil.

00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.099
 He will take care to sing your lullaby

00:07:36.099 --> 00:07:39.399
 and rock your cradle if you want to sleep.

00:07:40.060 --> 00:07:43.139
 For he loves not to see God's warriors alert.

00:07:44.159 --> 00:07:45.240
 While they are asleep,

00:07:45.339 --> 00:07:48.259
 he knows the war will not go on very briskly.

00:07:48.899 --> 00:07:51.779
 An army that is dosed with chloroform

00:07:51.779 --> 00:07:53.839
 would be quite as useless

00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.839
 as if they had chained themselves to the wall.

00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.000
 While swords sleep in their scabbards,

00:08:01.119 --> 00:08:03.559
 no foe needs dreaded them.

00:08:04.459 --> 00:08:06.039
 But, O fellow soldiers,

00:08:06.619 --> 00:08:09.299
 this is a great artifice of Satan.

00:08:10.099 --> 00:08:12.079
 And one of his craftiest devices

00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:14.839
 is to lull us into a deep sleep.

00:08:15.339 --> 00:08:18.819
 The dog of hell is barking in our hearts

00:08:18.819 --> 00:08:21.039
 to keep us awake.

00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.879
 But, when he ceases his howling,

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.360
 our eyelids grow heavy

00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.660
 unless divine grace prevents it.

00:08:28.420 --> 00:08:30.100
 So we see very carefully

00:08:30.100 --> 00:08:31.600
 that David has already put himself

00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.480
 in a very vulnerable position.

00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:39.000
 He's being lulled to sleep spiritually

00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.399
 while his flesh is being pampered.

00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:43.800
 And so here we see a story

00:08:43.800 --> 00:08:49.000
 of temptation, adultery, cover-up, and murder.

00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:49.919
 Yeah, David.

00:08:50.820 --> 00:08:52.620
 This great guy we've been reading about.

00:08:53.700 --> 00:08:55.100
 He is not the Messiah.

00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.000
 So, just very quickly,

00:08:58.100 --> 00:09:00.039
 if we look at these few verses,

00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:01.279
 and like temptation,

00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:03.019
 at its core,

00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.620
 is an enticement to sin.

00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:08.840
 Whether arising from desires within

00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:11.019
 or circumstances without.

00:09:11.019 --> 00:09:12.759
 It's important to know

00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:13.960
 that just being tempted

00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:14.899
 is not sin.

00:09:15.419 --> 00:09:17.279
 But it is the enticement to sin.

00:09:17.340 --> 00:09:17.899
 If you're a fish,

00:09:17.939 --> 00:09:19.559
 it's the bait that's coming in front of you,

00:09:19.620 --> 00:09:21.639
 the lure that's saying,

00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:22.779
 you know, bite this.

00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:24.699
 Then before you know it,

00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:25.480
 you're being hooked in,

00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:25.919
 reeled in,

00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:27.779
 and gutted on a plate.

00:09:28.740 --> 00:09:31.799
 So, it is an enticement to sin.

00:09:32.539 --> 00:09:35.059
 It's to take the things

00:09:35.059 --> 00:09:37.139
 that God has given us as His gifts

00:09:37.139 --> 00:09:39.339
 beyond their God-given limits.

00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:41.779
 Sin is the product,

00:09:41.980 --> 00:09:44.399
 and temptation is the selling of it to you.

00:09:45.319 --> 00:09:47.399
 David was not out to war as he should be.

00:09:47.459 --> 00:09:48.079
 Is it the palace?

00:09:48.199 --> 00:09:49.299
 I'm just going to summarize

00:09:49.299 --> 00:09:51.100
 a lot of this chapter,

00:09:51.199 --> 00:09:51.799
 and then we're going to spend

00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:52.959
 a lot of the time today

00:09:52.959 --> 00:09:53.919
 in Psalm 51,

00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:56.000
 which is David's response to his sin.

00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.379
 But he doesn't go out to war.

00:09:58.539 --> 00:09:59.480
 Instead, he's at the palace.

00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:01.080
 It says he gets off his couch.

00:10:01.700 --> 00:10:03.480
 So, he's already chilling on the couch.

00:10:04.379 --> 00:10:06.039
 He goes out into his roof

00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:07.320
 or his balcony, right?

00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.960
 And he sees a beautiful woman bathing,

00:10:10.620 --> 00:10:12.559
 probably on a lower rooftop.

00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:17.220
 And he lusts after her in his heart.

00:10:17.899 --> 00:10:20.059
 And he longs to lay with her.

00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:24.139
 David inquires as to who she is.

00:10:24.139 --> 00:10:26.580
 So, who is this woman?

00:10:27.659 --> 00:10:29.819
 He's informed that it was Bathsheba,

00:10:30.019 --> 00:10:31.500
 the daughter of Elam,

00:10:32.139 --> 00:10:35.120
 the wife of Uriah, the Hittite.

00:10:36.059 --> 00:10:37.199
 So, at this point,

00:10:37.259 --> 00:10:38.419
 he could have pulled back.

00:10:39.699 --> 00:10:40.639
 The Lord always says

00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:42.460
 that He gives us a way of escape.

00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.000
 But He kept pushing forward.

00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:45.759
 He could have fled

00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:46.980
 in the face of this temptation.

00:10:47.740 --> 00:10:49.259
 Remember Joseph in Genesis

00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:50.019
 when he was confronted

00:10:50.019 --> 00:10:51.000
 with Potiphar's wife?

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:52.259
 He fled.

00:10:52.580 --> 00:10:53.419
 And he actually said

00:10:53.419 --> 00:10:55.240
 in Genesis 39, 9,

00:10:55.299 --> 00:10:57.360
 How can I do this great wickedness

00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.019
 and sin against God?

00:10:59.100 --> 00:11:01.179
 That's what Joseph said.

00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:03.279
 But he doesn't do that.

00:11:04.659 --> 00:11:05.679
 What's interesting is

00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.220
 Joseph didn't have

00:11:08.220 --> 00:11:09.860
 the Mosaic Law.

00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:11.600
 He didn't have it.

00:11:11.659 --> 00:11:12.899
 It was written on his heart, though.

00:11:13.659 --> 00:11:14.519
 David did.

00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:17.000
 David knew the commandment,

00:11:17.059 --> 00:11:17.919
 the seventh commandment,

00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:19.059
 to not commit adultery.

00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:20.720
 And the tenth commandment,

00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:21.659
 that you shall not cover

00:11:21.659 --> 00:11:22.939
 your neighbor's wife.

00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:24.399
 But still,

00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:25.379
 he drew closer

00:11:25.379 --> 00:11:26.759
 like a lamb

00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.319
 to the slaughter.

00:11:29.899 --> 00:11:31.079
 One Puritan wrote,

00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:32.439
 If you don't want to enter

00:11:32.439 --> 00:11:33.699
 the house of sin,

00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:35.819
 don't sit

00:11:35.819 --> 00:11:36.620
 at the doorway

00:11:36.620 --> 00:11:37.419
 of temptation.

00:11:39.100 --> 00:11:40.079
 Very interesting.

00:11:40.460 --> 00:11:41.019
 Bathsheba,

00:11:41.019 --> 00:11:43.299
 the name means

00:11:43.299 --> 00:11:44.720
 daughter of an oath.

00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:45.639
 So,

00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:46.500
 something that's

00:11:46.500 --> 00:11:47.319
 kind of honorable,

00:11:47.500 --> 00:11:47.819
 pure.

00:11:48.659 --> 00:11:49.399
 And shockingly,

00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:50.139
 listen to this,

00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:50.740
 Uriah.

00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:50.960
 So,

00:11:51.019 --> 00:11:51.939
 Uriah was a Hittite.

00:11:52.019 --> 00:11:52.579
 If you don't know that,

00:11:52.620 --> 00:11:53.559
 that's a Gentile people.

00:11:54.220 --> 00:11:55.559
 They were very strong

00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:56.759
 warriors in the Iron

00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:57.659
 and Bronze Age.

00:11:58.779 --> 00:11:59.100
 And,

00:11:59.179 --> 00:12:01.059
 Uriah means

00:12:01.059 --> 00:12:02.579
 Yahweh is my light.

00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:04.579
 Isn't that interesting?

00:12:04.740 --> 00:12:05.659
 Anybody ever looked up

00:12:05.659 --> 00:12:06.299
 his name before?

00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:06.519
 So,

00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:07.000
 obviously,

00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:08.079
 he was a convert.

00:12:08.220 --> 00:12:09.100
 He was a Gentile

00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:10.840
 who had become a convert

00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:12.060
 of the true God.

00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:14.399
 Uriah.

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:15.320
 So,

00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:16.460
 very clearly,

00:12:16.620 --> 00:12:17.159
 this guy says,

00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:17.420
 look,

00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:17.980
 yeah,

00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:19.259
 she's got a father,

00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:20.080
 this is his name,

00:12:20.139 --> 00:12:21.399
 and she's married

00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:23.440
 to a noble warrior,

00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:24.960
 Uriah the Hittite.

00:12:25.620 --> 00:12:26.220
 But that would have been

00:12:26.220 --> 00:12:26.940
 like enough,

00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:27.620
 you'd think,

00:12:27.700 --> 00:12:28.060
 to kind of like,

00:12:28.139 --> 00:12:28.720
 okay,

00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:30.300
 never mind.

00:12:30.860 --> 00:12:31.680
 But he doesn't.

00:12:31.779 --> 00:12:32.580
 He moves forward.

00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:34.139
 In verse 4

00:12:34.139 --> 00:12:36.100
 of this chapter,

00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:36.899
 chapter 11,

00:12:36.899 --> 00:12:38.299
 that information

00:12:38.299 --> 00:12:39.240
 didn't stop him,

00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:40.740
 so he knew

00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:41.559
 this was evil

00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:42.840
 and he did it anyway.

00:12:43.959 --> 00:12:45.279
 He abused his position

00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:45.860
 of authority

00:12:45.860 --> 00:12:46.639
 and took advantage

00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:47.899
 of this young woman.

00:12:48.459 --> 00:12:49.220
 He had her brought

00:12:49.220 --> 00:12:50.000
 to his chamber.

00:12:50.980 --> 00:12:52.000
 He slept with her,

00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:53.720
 took his pleasure,

00:12:53.899 --> 00:12:54.980
 and then sent her home.

00:12:56.539 --> 00:12:57.019
 But then,

00:12:57.220 --> 00:12:58.039
 in verse 5

00:12:58.039 --> 00:12:59.379
 through 13,

00:13:00.259 --> 00:13:01.740
 we see that his sin

00:13:01.740 --> 00:13:02.539
 is revealed.

00:13:03.539 --> 00:13:04.659
 She later came back

00:13:04.659 --> 00:13:05.139
 to him,

00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:07.019
 and it says,

00:13:07.259 --> 00:13:10.379
 and the woman conceived,

00:13:10.699 --> 00:13:11.360
 and she sent

00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:12.439
 and told David,

00:13:13.139 --> 00:13:14.139
 I am pregnant,

00:13:14.219 --> 00:13:15.319
 or I am with child.

00:13:16.459 --> 00:13:16.939
 So,

00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:17.519
 obviously,

00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:18.379
 he panics.

00:13:19.579 --> 00:13:20.899
 He's found out.

00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:23.799
 This act of adultery

00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:25.279
 with Bathsheba,

00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:26.299
 she becomes pregnant,

00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:27.259
 and this threatens

00:13:27.259 --> 00:13:28.519
 David's reputation

00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:30.579
 as the king of Israel

00:13:30.579 --> 00:13:31.299
 and all that God

00:13:31.299 --> 00:13:31.759
 had done.

00:13:32.539 --> 00:13:32.819
 So,

00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:33.399
 he attempts

00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:34.240
 to cover it up.

00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:35.319
 Instead of coming clean

00:13:35.319 --> 00:13:36.059
 and repenting,

00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:36.480
 he attempts

00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:37.980
 a cover-up.

00:13:39.819 --> 00:13:40.299
 You ever seen

00:13:40.299 --> 00:13:41.179
 your kids do something

00:13:41.179 --> 00:13:42.019
 they shouldn't be doing

00:13:42.019 --> 00:13:42.480
 and they,

00:13:42.659 --> 00:13:43.439
 you know,

00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:44.179
 they know that you're

00:13:44.179 --> 00:13:44.799
 watching them,

00:13:44.860 --> 00:13:45.480
 but they try to kind of

00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:46.460
 cover it up anyway.

00:13:46.620 --> 00:13:46.799
 You're like,

00:13:46.819 --> 00:13:47.559
 I see you.

00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:48.319
 I see you.

00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:50.299
 I know what you're doing.

00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:52.120
 It's as if David

00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:53.340
 just cuts that off

00:13:53.340 --> 00:13:54.899
 and in panic,

00:13:54.899 --> 00:13:56.120
 he focuses here

00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:56.879
 and not here.

00:13:57.980 --> 00:13:58.439
 And so,

00:13:58.679 --> 00:13:59.240
 at first,

00:13:59.299 --> 00:14:00.059
 he calls Uriah

00:14:00.059 --> 00:14:01.059
 back from the battlefield.

00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:02.019
 Uriah,

00:14:02.139 --> 00:14:02.579
 come back.

00:14:03.699 --> 00:14:04.039
 And so,

00:14:04.079 --> 00:14:04.919
 Uriah comes back

00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:06.099
 and he attempts to,

00:14:06.199 --> 00:14:06.419
 he says,

00:14:06.459 --> 00:14:06.579
 look,

00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:06.759
 man,

00:14:06.779 --> 00:14:07.259
 you've been working

00:14:07.259 --> 00:14:08.059
 hard out there.

00:14:08.599 --> 00:14:09.179
 You've been doing

00:14:09.179 --> 00:14:09.739
 the job.

00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:10.459
 You've been fighting.

00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:11.559
 So,

00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:12.139
 why don't you

00:14:12.139 --> 00:14:13.299
 just have a night off?

00:14:13.379 --> 00:14:14.259
 Go and lay

00:14:14.259 --> 00:14:15.159
 with your wife tonight.

00:14:16.199 --> 00:14:17.119
 But it doesn't work

00:14:17.119 --> 00:14:17.839
 because Uriah

00:14:17.839 --> 00:14:19.019
 is such a noble warrior.

00:14:19.219 --> 00:14:20.179
 He has this honor

00:14:20.179 --> 00:14:21.159
 where he's like,

00:14:21.179 --> 00:14:21.959
 I can't do that.

00:14:22.019 --> 00:14:22.139
 Like,

00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:23.039
 how can I do that

00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:24.019
 when all the other soldiers

00:14:24.019 --> 00:14:25.039
 are still out there fighting?

00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:25.399
 It's just,

00:14:25.500 --> 00:14:25.899
 I can't,

00:14:26.459 --> 00:14:27.059
 my conscience

00:14:27.059 --> 00:14:27.879
 won't allow me.

00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:29.820
 So then David goes

00:14:29.820 --> 00:14:30.539
 to plan B

00:14:30.539 --> 00:14:31.059
 and he says,

00:14:31.139 --> 00:14:31.379
 all right,

00:14:31.460 --> 00:14:31.659
 well,

00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:33.580
 maybe if I get him hammered,

00:14:33.580 --> 00:14:35.179
 he'll sleep with his wife.

00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:35.519
 Like,

00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:35.860
 and maybe,

00:14:36.299 --> 00:14:37.419
 and then after that,

00:14:37.500 --> 00:14:37.980
 they'll be able to say,

00:14:38.059 --> 00:14:38.220
 look,

00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:38.559
 you know,

00:14:38.820 --> 00:14:39.480
 congratulations,

00:14:39.860 --> 00:14:40.580
 you had a baby.

00:14:41.580 --> 00:14:43.399
 But Uriah also refuses

00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:44.439
 to go back

00:14:44.439 --> 00:14:45.519
 even as he's drunk.

00:14:46.379 --> 00:14:47.379
 So that fails.

00:14:48.059 --> 00:14:48.659
 So then,

00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:50.580
 in verses 14

00:14:50.580 --> 00:14:52.200
 through 27,

00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.600
 in growing frustration

00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:55.320
 and fear

00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:56.280
 of being found out,

00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:57.060
 David results

00:14:57.060 --> 00:14:57.960
 to the great evil

00:14:57.960 --> 00:14:59.440
 of having Uriah

00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:00.500
 sent back to war

00:15:00.500 --> 00:15:01.800
 with orders to Joab

00:15:01.800 --> 00:15:02.340
 to have him

00:15:02.340 --> 00:15:03.620
 kind of put out

00:15:03.620 --> 00:15:04.580
 in the front line

00:15:04.580 --> 00:15:06.080
 and then to have

00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:06.620
 the other men

00:15:06.620 --> 00:15:07.259
 pull back

00:15:07.259 --> 00:15:07.960
 where he's almost

00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:08.660
 just to face

00:15:08.660 --> 00:15:09.580
 certain death.

00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:10.879
 And,

00:15:10.940 --> 00:15:11.500
 and he does.

00:15:11.580 --> 00:15:12.259
 He's killed,

00:15:12.780 --> 00:15:13.420
 but really,

00:15:13.740 --> 00:15:14.080
 murdered.

00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:15.700
 So now,

00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:16.280
 with Uriah

00:15:16.280 --> 00:15:16.920
 out of the way,

00:15:17.060 --> 00:15:17.840
 David then takes

00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:18.379
 Bathsheba

00:15:18.379 --> 00:15:19.400
 as his wife,

00:15:20.140 --> 00:15:20.780
 his temptation,

00:15:20.779 --> 00:15:21.980
 excuse me,

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:22.639
 his reputation

00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:23.959
 he thinks is saved

00:15:23.959 --> 00:15:25.799
 and the ordeal

00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:26.879
 is survived

00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:28.120
 or so he thinks.

00:15:29.419 --> 00:15:30.500
 Proverbs 15,

00:15:30.579 --> 00:15:30.819
 3,

00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:31.079
 like,

00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:32.120
 remember this one.

00:15:32.819 --> 00:15:33.919
 The eyes of the Lord

00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:36.679
 are in every place

00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:39.120
 watching over the evil

00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:39.959
 and the good.

00:15:41.199 --> 00:15:41.519
 So,

00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:42.659
 the chapter ends,

00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:44.000
 the very last two verses

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:44.720
 of this chapter,

00:15:44.860 --> 00:15:45.579
 listen to this.

00:15:47.100 --> 00:15:48.339
 Verse 26,

00:15:49.059 --> 00:15:50.679
 when the wife of Uriah

00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:51.719
 heard that Uriah,

00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:52.239
 her husband,

00:15:52.299 --> 00:15:52.779
 was dead,

00:15:52.839 --> 00:15:53.419
 listen to this,

00:15:53.979 --> 00:15:55.159
 she lamented

00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:56.719
 over her husband

00:15:56.719 --> 00:15:57.639
 or she mourned

00:15:57.639 --> 00:15:59.139
 greatly over her husband.

00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:00.379
 So,

00:16:00.439 --> 00:16:00.659
 clearly,

00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:02.059
 she loved Uriah.

00:16:03.819 --> 00:16:04.299
 Then,

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:05.839
 when her mourning

00:16:05.839 --> 00:16:06.459
 was over,

00:16:06.620 --> 00:16:07.219
 David sent

00:16:07.219 --> 00:16:07.879
 and brought her

00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:08.819
 to his house

00:16:08.819 --> 00:16:10.120
 and she became

00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:10.759
 his wife

00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:11.319
 and bore him

00:16:11.319 --> 00:16:11.819
 a son.

00:16:12.739 --> 00:16:13.219
 But,

00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:15.299
 the thing

00:16:15.299 --> 00:16:15.819
 that David

00:16:15.819 --> 00:16:16.479
 had done

00:16:16.479 --> 00:16:17.620
 displeased

00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:18.319
 the Lord.

00:16:19.599 --> 00:16:20.120
 Scary.

00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:22.019
 So,

00:16:22.899 --> 00:16:23.859
 David's finally going,

00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:26.039
 God,

00:16:26.379 --> 00:16:26.659
 okay,

00:16:26.779 --> 00:16:27.399
 it worked out.

00:16:27.839 --> 00:16:28.079
 Like,

00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:28.839
 I'm good.

00:16:29.979 --> 00:16:30.399
 But,

00:16:31.139 --> 00:16:32.659
 God is not pleased

00:16:32.659 --> 00:16:33.479
 and he sees it.

00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:35.039
 So then,

00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:35.599
 in verse,

00:16:36.359 --> 00:16:37.259
 chapter 12,

00:16:38.099 --> 00:16:39.079
 1 through 12,

00:16:39.199 --> 00:16:39.919
 I'm trying to summarize

00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:40.819
 the best I can.

00:16:41.959 --> 00:16:42.579
 David is

00:16:42.579 --> 00:16:44.099
 clearly living

00:16:44.099 --> 00:16:44.959
 an ongoing,

00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:46.519
 unrepentant sin

00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:47.819
 and God

00:16:47.819 --> 00:16:48.939
 starts to deal

00:16:48.939 --> 00:16:49.360
 with him.

00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:51.500
 David would have

00:16:51.500 --> 00:16:52.439
 read from the

00:16:52.439 --> 00:16:52.799
 scripture,

00:16:53.659 --> 00:16:55.539
 Numbers 32,

00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:56.220
 23,

00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:57.600
 Behold,

00:16:57.699 --> 00:16:58.480
 you have sinned

00:16:58.480 --> 00:16:59.240
 against the Lord

00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:00.720
 and be sure

00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:02.100
 your sin

00:17:02.100 --> 00:17:03.240
 will find you out.

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:04.799
 So,

00:17:04.859 --> 00:17:05.680
 it's important here

00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:06.339
 that those who

00:17:06.339 --> 00:17:07.299
 carry out evil

00:17:07.299 --> 00:17:08.460
 and sin,

00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:09.180
 they cannot

00:17:09.180 --> 00:17:10.259
 evade God

00:17:10.259 --> 00:17:10.720
 forever.

00:17:10.980 --> 00:17:11.160
 Like,

00:17:11.259 --> 00:17:11.940
 they will be brought

00:17:11.940 --> 00:17:12.680
 into the light.

00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:13.920
 So,

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:15.100
 God sends later

00:17:15.100 --> 00:17:15.500
 Nathan,

00:17:15.700 --> 00:17:16.180
 the prophet,

00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:17.840
 to confront David

00:17:17.840 --> 00:17:18.700
 and he tells him

00:17:18.700 --> 00:17:19.880
 a parable

00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:21.539
 of a man

00:17:21.539 --> 00:17:22.259
 who had little

00:17:22.259 --> 00:17:22.740
 and a man

00:17:22.740 --> 00:17:23.400
 who had much.

00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:25.080
 And the man

00:17:25.080 --> 00:17:25.900
 who had much

00:17:25.900 --> 00:17:27.120
 abused his power

00:17:27.120 --> 00:17:27.820
 over the one

00:17:27.820 --> 00:17:28.400
 who had little

00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:29.519
 and took what he had

00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:31.759
 and killed it.

00:17:32.940 --> 00:17:33.299
 And then,

00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:34.120
 so he's telling

00:17:34.120 --> 00:17:34.600
 this parable

00:17:34.600 --> 00:17:35.100
 but David doesn't

00:17:35.100 --> 00:17:35.720
 know it's a parable.

00:17:35.840 --> 00:17:36.240
 He thinks it's

00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:36.840
 a real thing.

00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:38.140
 And then David

00:17:38.140 --> 00:17:39.060
 reacts to this

00:17:39.060 --> 00:17:39.539
 and declares

00:17:39.539 --> 00:17:40.340
 the man who

00:17:40.340 --> 00:17:41.320
 acted unjustly,

00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:42.620
 he deserves to die.

00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:43.080
 Surely,

00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:44.519
 he must die.

00:17:46.019 --> 00:17:46.980
 Little did he know

00:17:46.980 --> 00:17:47.860
 that he is pronouncing

00:17:47.860 --> 00:17:49.320
 judgment on himself.

00:17:50.560 --> 00:17:51.920
 And Nathan says,

00:17:52.080 --> 00:17:53.920
 you are that man.

00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:55.720
 So,

00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:56.980
 he melts.

00:17:58.279 --> 00:17:58.740
 Right?

00:17:58.860 --> 00:17:59.039
 So,

00:17:59.080 --> 00:17:59.700
 he's caught.

00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:01.100
 If you can remember

00:18:01.100 --> 00:18:02.039
 like Saul,

00:18:02.820 --> 00:18:03.700
 when Samuel

00:18:03.700 --> 00:18:04.880
 confronted Saul,

00:18:05.340 --> 00:18:06.340
 what does Saul do?

00:18:07.140 --> 00:18:08.880
 I meant well.

00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:10.440
 It's,

00:18:10.820 --> 00:18:11.900
 you know,

00:18:11.900 --> 00:18:12.840
 pray for me.

00:18:14.060 --> 00:18:14.860
 Just to,

00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:15.780
 just has to be

00:18:15.780 --> 00:18:16.420
 between us.

00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:16.980
 Don't let anybody

00:18:16.980 --> 00:18:17.720
 else know.

00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:19.780
 Walk with me

00:18:19.780 --> 00:18:20.259
 so that people

00:18:20.259 --> 00:18:20.580
 will know

00:18:20.580 --> 00:18:21.400
 that we're good.

00:18:21.560 --> 00:18:22.540
 That was Saul's

00:18:22.540 --> 00:18:23.519
 response

00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:25.300
 to being called

00:18:25.300 --> 00:18:26.120
 out on his sin.

00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:28.400
 To make excuses

00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:29.540
 and to cover it up.

00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:31.400
 But,

00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:33.440
 chapter 12,

00:18:33.560 --> 00:18:34.340
 verse 13,

00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:35.680
 check this out.

00:18:35.740 --> 00:18:36.840
 From David's mouth

00:18:36.840 --> 00:18:38.200
 comes true repentance.

00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:38.420
 sins.

00:18:39.420 --> 00:18:40.319
 David said to Nathan,

00:18:40.460 --> 00:18:41.580
 I have sinned

00:18:41.580 --> 00:18:43.340
 against the Lord.

00:18:44.059 --> 00:18:44.980
 And Nathan said

00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:45.519
 to David,

00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:46.980
 the Lord

00:18:46.980 --> 00:18:47.759
 also

00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:48.920
 has put away

00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:49.539
 your sin

00:18:49.539 --> 00:18:50.740
 and you shall

00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:51.440
 not die.

00:18:53.140 --> 00:18:53.700
 Wow.

00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:55.539
 Later on,

00:18:55.980 --> 00:18:56.920
 at some point

00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:58.279
 after this,

00:18:58.380 --> 00:18:58.700
 David

00:18:58.700 --> 00:19:00.420
 grabs a pen

00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:00.940
 and

00:19:00.940 --> 00:19:02.640
 papyrus.

00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:04.420
 I'd like to imagine

00:19:04.420 --> 00:19:05.300
 he just got alone

00:19:05.300 --> 00:19:05.840
 somewhere

00:19:05.840 --> 00:19:07.340
 and just poured out

00:19:07.340 --> 00:19:07.960
 his heart

00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:09.280
 to God.

00:19:09.420 --> 00:19:10.040
 And he wrote

00:19:10.040 --> 00:19:11.220
 Psalm 51.

00:19:13.100 --> 00:19:13.460
 And,

00:19:13.800 --> 00:19:15.700
 just briefly,

00:19:16.940 --> 00:19:17.640
 he repents.

00:19:17.740 --> 00:19:18.520
 The word repent

00:19:18.520 --> 00:19:20.600
 means to change,

00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:21.840
 in the most simple

00:19:21.840 --> 00:19:22.440
 way to say it,

00:19:22.780 --> 00:19:24.100
 it means to change

00:19:24.100 --> 00:19:25.200
 one's mind

00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.960
 for the better.

00:19:27.800 --> 00:19:28.460
 Sin is a turning

00:19:28.460 --> 00:19:29.200
 away from,

00:19:29.700 --> 00:19:30.259
 or excuse me,

00:19:30.259 --> 00:19:31.279
 repentance is a turning

00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:32.440
 away from sin,

00:19:33.180 --> 00:19:33.859
 hating it,

00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:34.440
 and resolving

00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:35.720
 by God's grace

00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:37.259
 to never go back

00:19:37.259 --> 00:19:38.079
 to it as we turn

00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:40.079
 to Him in faith.

00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:42.160
 It's a change

00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:42.920
 of mind

00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:43.619
 that leads

00:19:43.619 --> 00:19:44.480
 to a change

00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:45.160
 in direction.

00:19:45.819 --> 00:19:46.740
 So it's not just

00:19:46.740 --> 00:19:48.059
 behavior modification

00:19:48.059 --> 00:19:49.119
 on the outside,

00:19:49.779 --> 00:19:50.500
 it's thinking

00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:51.000
 differently

00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:52.099
 and seeing your sin

00:19:52.099 --> 00:19:52.680
 differently

00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:54.460
 where you hate it

00:19:54.460 --> 00:19:56.079
 and you want

00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:56.740
 to honor God

00:19:56.740 --> 00:19:57.119
 instead

00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:57.539
 as you turn

00:19:57.539 --> 00:19:58.079
 to faith

00:19:58.079 --> 00:19:58.799
 in Christ.

00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:00.519
 So,

00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:01.319
 we get to

00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:02.220
 Psalm 51.

00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:03.200
 This is David's

00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:03.859
 response

00:20:03.859 --> 00:20:05.319
 to the evil

00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:05.899
 that has been

00:20:05.899 --> 00:20:06.339
 committed,

00:20:06.500 --> 00:20:06.960
 that he has

00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:07.319
 committed.

00:20:08.700 --> 00:20:09.680
 Genuine repentance.

00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:11.119
 So if there's

00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:11.879
 sin in your life

00:20:11.879 --> 00:20:12.500
 and you're struggling

00:20:12.500 --> 00:20:13.559
 to know what to do,

00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:15.200
 like God has

00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:15.779
 given you

00:20:15.779 --> 00:20:16.599
 a road map

00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:18.019
 here in Psalm 51

00:20:18.019 --> 00:20:19.419
 to face

00:20:19.419 --> 00:20:20.059
 those things.

00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:21.379
 Alright?

00:20:22.099 --> 00:20:22.919
 So let's just

00:20:22.919 --> 00:20:23.639
 take it apart

00:20:23.639 --> 00:20:25.240
 a few verses

00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:25.919
 at a time.

00:20:27.059 --> 00:20:27.559
 Alright?

00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:28.240
 So we have

00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:28.839
 some questions

00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:29.099
 here.

00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:29.679
 Question number

00:20:29.679 --> 00:20:30.019
 one,

00:20:30.940 --> 00:20:31.279
 if you're

00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:31.859
 note-taking,

00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:32.579
 question number

00:20:32.579 --> 00:20:32.859
 one,

00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:33.419
 how does

00:20:33.419 --> 00:20:33.980
 David

00:20:33.980 --> 00:20:35.720
 approach God

00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:36.579
 for mercy

00:20:36.579 --> 00:20:37.519
 and forgiveness?

00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:39.220
 So how does

00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:39.859
 David actually

00:20:39.859 --> 00:20:40.579
 come to God?

00:20:40.679 --> 00:20:41.059
 What is the

00:20:41.059 --> 00:20:41.579
 manner in which

00:20:41.579 --> 00:20:42.079
 he does it?

00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:43.139
 You see this

00:20:43.139 --> 00:20:43.539
 in verses

00:20:43.539 --> 00:20:44.519
 one and two.

00:20:45.299 --> 00:20:45.599
 David

00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:46.460
 prays,

00:20:46.539 --> 00:20:47.279
 have mercy

00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:47.940
 on me,

00:20:48.019 --> 00:20:48.599
 O God,

00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:50.079
 according to

00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:50.899
 your steadfast

00:20:50.899 --> 00:20:51.240
 love,

00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:51.879
 according to

00:20:51.879 --> 00:20:52.480
 your abundant

00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:53.099
 mercy,

00:20:53.819 --> 00:20:54.339
 blot out

00:20:54.339 --> 00:20:55.419
 my transgressions.

00:20:55.420 --> 00:20:56.320
 Wash me

00:20:56.320 --> 00:20:56.940
 thoroughly

00:20:56.940 --> 00:20:58.060
 from my

00:20:58.060 --> 00:20:58.519
 iniquity

00:20:58.519 --> 00:20:59.080
 and cleanse

00:20:59.080 --> 00:20:59.740
 me of

00:20:59.740 --> 00:21:00.680
 my sin.

00:21:01.900 --> 00:21:02.539
 So,

00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:03.220
 so why?

00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:04.880
 He's trying

00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:05.640
 to plead a

00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:06.279
 case before

00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:06.600
 God,

00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:06.840
 right?

00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:07.440
 He pleads

00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:07.820
 with God

00:21:07.820 --> 00:21:08.100
 to show

00:21:08.100 --> 00:21:08.759
 him mercy

00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:10.600
 and forgiveness,

00:21:10.940 --> 00:21:11.580
 pardon for

00:21:11.580 --> 00:21:12.080
 the evil

00:21:12.080 --> 00:21:12.460
 that he's

00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:12.800
 done.

00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:13.420
 So mercy

00:21:13.420 --> 00:21:13.840
 is this

00:21:13.840 --> 00:21:14.500
 undeserved

00:21:14.500 --> 00:21:14.860
 thing.

00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:15.140
 You don't

00:21:15.140 --> 00:21:15.600
 merit

00:21:15.600 --> 00:21:16.660
 God's

00:21:16.660 --> 00:21:17.060
 mercy.

00:21:17.460 --> 00:21:18.100
 If you

00:21:18.100 --> 00:21:18.620
 merit it,

00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:19.080
 it's not

00:21:19.080 --> 00:21:19.480
 mercy.

00:21:20.700 --> 00:21:21.400
 David has

00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:22.120
 no hope

00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:23.299
 that God

00:21:23.299 --> 00:21:23.879
 will forgive

00:21:23.879 --> 00:21:24.239
 him and

00:21:24.239 --> 00:21:24.679
 pardon him

00:21:24.679 --> 00:21:25.219
 according to

00:21:25.219 --> 00:21:25.839
 his own

00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:26.819
 goodness,

00:21:27.159 --> 00:21:28.199
 according to

00:21:28.199 --> 00:21:29.179
 his righteousness

00:21:29.179 --> 00:21:29.779
 because he

00:21:29.779 --> 00:21:30.339
 doesn't have

00:21:30.339 --> 00:21:30.599
 any.

00:21:31.219 --> 00:21:31.639
 Look what he

00:21:31.639 --> 00:21:32.119
 just did.

00:21:32.219 --> 00:21:32.579
 The sin

00:21:32.579 --> 00:21:34.299
 itself proves

00:21:34.299 --> 00:21:34.759
 that David

00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:35.399
 has no

00:21:35.399 --> 00:21:36.319
 character to

00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:37.059
 argue here,

00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:38.859
 not in his

00:21:38.859 --> 00:21:39.479
 own worth

00:21:39.479 --> 00:21:40.099
 or merit,

00:21:40.339 --> 00:21:41.339
 but God's.

00:21:42.439 --> 00:21:42.739
 You see

00:21:42.739 --> 00:21:42.979
 that?

00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:43.659
 According to

00:21:43.659 --> 00:21:44.959
 your steadfast

00:21:44.959 --> 00:21:45.500
 love,

00:21:46.459 --> 00:21:47.179
 according to

00:21:47.179 --> 00:21:48.379
 your abundant

00:21:48.379 --> 00:21:49.099
 mercies,

00:21:49.099 --> 00:21:49.559
 it actually

00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:50.639
 means the

00:21:50.639 --> 00:21:51.579
 multitude of

00:21:51.579 --> 00:21:52.199
 your tender

00:21:52.199 --> 00:21:53.159
 mercies,

00:21:53.899 --> 00:21:54.439
 compassion.

00:21:55.619 --> 00:21:56.179
 So David

00:21:56.179 --> 00:21:57.099
 recognizes he

00:21:57.099 --> 00:21:57.639
 has no

00:21:57.639 --> 00:21:58.500
 entitlement to

00:21:58.500 --> 00:21:59.139
 God's favor.

00:21:59.299 --> 00:21:59.679
 He doesn't

00:21:59.679 --> 00:22:01.019
 deserve life.

00:22:01.399 --> 00:22:01.899
 He doesn't

00:22:01.899 --> 00:22:02.699
 deserve blessing

00:22:02.699 --> 00:22:03.319
 and forgiveness.

00:22:04.019 --> 00:22:05.059
 So also,

00:22:05.299 --> 00:22:05.899
 we must be

00:22:05.899 --> 00:22:06.619
 sensible that

00:22:06.619 --> 00:22:07.359
 God does not

00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:08.019
 owe us

00:22:08.019 --> 00:22:09.119
 forgiveness.

00:22:09.299 --> 00:22:09.659
 He doesn't

00:22:09.659 --> 00:22:10.240
 owe us

00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:10.859
 mercy.

00:22:11.579 --> 00:22:12.299
 He doesn't.

00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:14.259
 In fact,

00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:15.119
 David then

00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:15.839
 appeals,

00:22:16.159 --> 00:22:16.919
 therefore,

00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:17.919
 to God's

00:22:17.919 --> 00:22:18.480
 character.

00:22:19.439 --> 00:22:19.980
 He appears

00:22:19.980 --> 00:22:20.439
 to the very

00:22:20.439 --> 00:22:21.039
 nature of

00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:21.559
 God because

00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:22.379
 he knows

00:22:22.379 --> 00:22:23.679
 it's within

00:22:23.679 --> 00:22:24.559
 God's character,

00:22:24.619 --> 00:22:25.259
 within God's

00:22:25.259 --> 00:22:25.879
 nature to

00:22:25.879 --> 00:22:26.639
 be merciful.

00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:28.159
 So he just

00:22:28.159 --> 00:22:28.740
 knows that

00:22:28.740 --> 00:22:29.339
 about God.

00:22:29.419 --> 00:22:30.039
 So he appeals

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:30.399
 to that.

00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:31.179
 I've got no

00:22:31.179 --> 00:22:31.899
 case to plea.

00:22:32.539 --> 00:22:33.440
 I'm guilty.

00:22:33.679 --> 00:22:34.240
 I'm terrible.

00:22:35.019 --> 00:22:35.819
 But I know

00:22:35.819 --> 00:22:36.940
 you are a

00:22:36.940 --> 00:22:37.519
 gracious and

00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:38.099
 forgiving member

00:22:38.099 --> 00:22:39.319
 in your Bible

00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:39.679
 reading,

00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:40.220
 in your daily

00:22:40.220 --> 00:22:40.619
 life.

00:22:40.700 --> 00:22:41.639
 He gives you

00:22:41.639 --> 00:22:42.299
 several different

00:22:42.299 --> 00:22:44.059
 terms to

00:22:44.059 --> 00:22:44.899
 describe the

00:22:44.899 --> 00:22:45.599
 sin or the

00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:46.240
 crime that he

00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:46.740
 had committed

00:22:46.740 --> 00:22:47.740
 versus

00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:48.579
 transgression.

00:22:48.579 --> 00:22:49.179
 transgression.

00:22:49.179 --> 00:22:49.980
 See that?

00:22:51.619 --> 00:22:52.099
 Transgression,

00:22:52.259 --> 00:22:52.759
 as we know,

00:22:52.859 --> 00:22:53.720
 is a deliberate

00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:54.819
 premeditated

00:22:54.819 --> 00:22:55.699
 crossing of the

00:22:55.699 --> 00:22:55.980
 line.

00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:56.619
 You know that

00:22:56.619 --> 00:22:57.519
 you shouldn't

00:22:57.519 --> 00:22:58.079
 do it and

00:22:58.079 --> 00:22:58.519
 you do it

00:22:58.519 --> 00:22:58.819
 anyway.

00:23:00.159 --> 00:23:00.599
 No

00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:01.319
 trespassing.

00:23:02.379 --> 00:23:03.240
 I hate that

00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:03.659
 when you're deer

00:23:03.659 --> 00:23:03.919
 hunting.

00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:04.159
 You're like,

00:23:04.220 --> 00:23:04.859
 shoot,

00:23:04.939 --> 00:23:05.399
 can't go on

00:23:05.399 --> 00:23:05.539
 there.

00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:07.359
 So it is a

00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:08.000
 deliberate

00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:09.019
 crossing of

00:23:09.019 --> 00:23:09.539
 the line.

00:23:09.679 --> 00:23:10.279
 You know it.

00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:12.159
 Iniquity.

00:23:12.859 --> 00:23:13.259
 He also

00:23:13.259 --> 00:23:14.039
 mentions iniquity.

00:23:14.139 --> 00:23:14.539
 That is a

00:23:14.539 --> 00:23:15.220
 perverting or

00:23:15.220 --> 00:23:16.639
 a twisting of

00:23:16.639 --> 00:23:17.279
 what God has

00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:17.599
 said.

00:23:17.659 --> 00:23:18.259
 A corruption

00:23:18.259 --> 00:23:19.079
 of goodness.

00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:20.339
 And then

00:23:20.339 --> 00:23:22.119
 sin, as we

00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:22.539
 know, is

00:23:22.539 --> 00:23:23.119
 missing the

00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:24.000
 mark that God

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:24.700
 has purpose

00:23:24.700 --> 00:23:25.180
 intended.

00:23:25.339 --> 00:23:26.059
 Like, this

00:23:26.059 --> 00:23:26.839
 is God's

00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:27.500
 purpose.

00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:27.920
 He has

00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:28.500
 intention for

00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:28.799
 you and

00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:29.200
 you've fallen

00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:29.659
 short of

00:23:29.659 --> 00:23:29.940
 that.

00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:31.680
 And then

00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:32.259
 he uses the

00:23:32.259 --> 00:23:33.299
 word unholy.

00:23:33.899 --> 00:23:34.299
 Mark,

00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:34.980
 terrible,

00:23:35.980 --> 00:23:36.500
 worse than

00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:36.839
 all,

00:23:37.159 --> 00:23:37.960
 great wrong,

00:23:38.099 --> 00:23:38.740
 unholy.

00:23:39.539 --> 00:23:40.659
 So he's not

00:23:40.659 --> 00:23:41.279
 holding back.

00:23:41.339 --> 00:23:41.859
 He's calling it

00:23:41.859 --> 00:23:42.399
 what it is.

00:23:42.460 --> 00:23:42.759
 So whenever

00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:43.440
 you sin,

00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:45.240
 please don't

00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:45.680
 do the,

00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:47.320
 well, I

00:23:47.320 --> 00:23:48.059
 just fell.

00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:49.400
 It just

00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:50.080
 got me.

00:23:51.080 --> 00:23:51.820
 Like a

00:23:51.820 --> 00:23:53.080
 victim mentality.

00:23:54.259 --> 00:23:55.080
 David owns

00:23:55.080 --> 00:23:56.220
 it completely.

00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:57.380
 I committed

00:23:57.380 --> 00:23:58.080
 transgression,

00:23:58.299 --> 00:23:58.779
 iniquity,

00:23:58.960 --> 00:23:59.500
 sin, and

00:23:59.500 --> 00:23:59.840
 evil.

00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:00.519
 He calls it

00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:01.120
 what it is.

00:24:02.140 --> 00:24:02.720
 But then,

00:24:02.840 --> 00:24:03.460
 notice how he

00:24:03.460 --> 00:24:04.240
 corresponds to

00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:04.740
 those things.

00:24:04.840 --> 00:24:05.299
 He uses the

00:24:05.299 --> 00:24:06.740
 words blot,

00:24:07.860 --> 00:24:08.320
 wash,

00:24:08.740 --> 00:24:09.539
 and cleanse.

00:24:10.820 --> 00:24:11.200
 Those are

00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:12.279
 all words of

00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:13.200
 deep spiritual

00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:13.799
 restoration

00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:14.480
 that only

00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:15.039
 God can

00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:15.340
 do.

00:24:16.140 --> 00:24:16.819
 Blot means

00:24:16.819 --> 00:24:17.360
 to wipe

00:24:17.360 --> 00:24:17.720
 out,

00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:19.039
 to

00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:20.120
 obliterate,

00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:21.000
 exterminate.

00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:22.360
 And remember,

00:24:22.539 --> 00:24:23.180
 I've said this

00:24:23.180 --> 00:24:23.580
 before,

00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:24.059
 but when they

00:24:24.059 --> 00:24:24.360
 used to

00:24:24.360 --> 00:24:24.980
 write on

00:24:24.980 --> 00:24:26.360
 papyrus,

00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:27.640
 papyri,

00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:27.980
 if I

00:24:27.980 --> 00:24:28.620
 pronounce it

00:24:28.620 --> 00:24:28.900
 rightly,

00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:30.259
 that they

00:24:30.259 --> 00:24:32.059
 would often

00:24:32.059 --> 00:24:32.940
 reuse it

00:24:32.940 --> 00:24:33.819
 by wiping

00:24:33.819 --> 00:24:34.120
 it,

00:24:34.779 --> 00:24:35.380
 wiping old

00:24:35.380 --> 00:24:36.039
 ink off of

00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:36.140
 it,

00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:36.380
 and then

00:24:36.380 --> 00:24:36.640
 writing

00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:37.460
 something else.

00:24:37.460 --> 00:24:38.539
 so he's

00:24:38.539 --> 00:24:39.019
 saying the

00:24:39.019 --> 00:24:39.620
 crime that

00:24:39.620 --> 00:24:40.079
 I committed,

00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:40.660
 blot it

00:24:40.660 --> 00:24:40.880
 out,

00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:41.680
 erase it.

00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:42.940
 Then he

00:24:42.940 --> 00:24:43.220
 used the

00:24:43.220 --> 00:24:44.019
 term wash,

00:24:44.059 --> 00:24:44.380
 to be

00:24:44.380 --> 00:24:45.079
 washed by

00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:45.519
 treading

00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:45.960
 out,

00:24:46.860 --> 00:24:47.840
 not just

00:24:47.840 --> 00:24:48.420
 being washed

00:24:48.420 --> 00:24:48.840
 physically,

00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:49.240
 but being

00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:49.759
 washed

00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:50.559
 inwardly.

00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:51.539
 To

00:24:51.539 --> 00:24:52.340
 cleanse means

00:24:52.340 --> 00:24:53.039
 to purify

00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:53.620
 and make

00:24:53.620 --> 00:24:54.019
 whole.

00:24:54.779 --> 00:24:55.340
 So all

00:24:55.340 --> 00:24:56.180
 according to

00:24:56.180 --> 00:24:56.840
 God's loving

00:24:56.840 --> 00:24:57.200
 kindness,

00:24:57.319 --> 00:24:57.700
 all according

00:24:57.700 --> 00:24:58.380
 to his

00:24:58.380 --> 00:24:59.460
 abundant

00:24:59.460 --> 00:24:59.920
 mercy.

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:00.279
 Those are

00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:01.039
 all words

00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:01.460
 that our

00:25:01.460 --> 00:25:02.259
 souls long

00:25:02.259 --> 00:25:02.779
 to hear

00:25:02.779 --> 00:25:03.360
 when we

00:25:03.360 --> 00:25:04.799
 are confronted

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:05.359
 with sin.

00:25:06.299 --> 00:25:06.680
 You want

00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:06.919
 to hear

00:25:06.919 --> 00:25:07.159
 that.

00:25:07.220 --> 00:25:07.460
 These are

00:25:07.460 --> 00:25:07.919
 words of

00:25:07.919 --> 00:25:09.099
 justification,

00:25:09.779 --> 00:25:10.500
 to be

00:25:10.500 --> 00:25:11.000
 cleaned,

00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:11.399
 to be

00:25:11.399 --> 00:25:11.579
 made

00:25:11.579 --> 00:25:12.000
 right.

00:25:13.139 --> 00:25:13.659
 So make

00:25:13.659 --> 00:25:14.359
 me right

00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:15.339
 in your

00:25:15.339 --> 00:25:15.819
 sight,

00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:16.960
 is really

00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:17.399
 what he's

00:25:17.399 --> 00:25:17.960
 praying.

00:25:18.779 --> 00:25:18.980
 So that's

00:25:18.980 --> 00:25:19.460
 question number

00:25:19.460 --> 00:25:19.759
 one,

00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:20.079
 how does

00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:20.680
 David approach

00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:21.099
 God for

00:25:21.099 --> 00:25:21.519
 mercy and

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:21.859
 forgiveness?

00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:22.159
 This

00:25:22.159 --> 00:25:22.519
 verse is

00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:22.839
 one and

00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:23.139
 two.

00:25:24.259 --> 00:25:24.759
 Question

00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:25.039
 number

00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:25.399
 two,

00:25:26.339 --> 00:25:27.700
 how does

00:25:27.700 --> 00:25:28.740
 David offer

00:25:28.740 --> 00:25:30.099
 true

00:25:30.099 --> 00:25:30.720
 confession

00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:31.559
 to God?

00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:33.399
 How does

00:25:33.399 --> 00:25:33.899
 David offer

00:25:33.899 --> 00:25:34.539
 true confession

00:25:34.539 --> 00:25:35.019
 to God?

00:25:35.099 --> 00:25:35.500
 See this in

00:25:35.500 --> 00:25:36.119
 verses three

00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:36.759
 through five.

00:25:37.859 --> 00:25:38.700
 David says,

00:25:39.500 --> 00:25:39.960
 for I know

00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:41.079
 my transgressions

00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:41.899
 and my sin

00:25:41.899 --> 00:25:42.720
 is ever before

00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:43.039
 me.

00:25:43.539 --> 00:25:44.299
 Against you

00:25:44.299 --> 00:25:44.579
 and you

00:25:44.579 --> 00:25:45.339
 only have I

00:25:45.339 --> 00:25:45.720
 sinned and

00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:46.000
 done what

00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:46.559
 is evil

00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:47.019
 in your

00:25:47.019 --> 00:25:47.480
 sight,

00:25:47.740 --> 00:25:48.500
 so that

00:25:48.500 --> 00:25:48.799
 you may

00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:49.420
 be justified

00:25:49.420 --> 00:25:49.819
 in your

00:25:49.819 --> 00:25:50.440
 words and

00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:50.980
 blameless

00:25:50.980 --> 00:25:51.339
 in your

00:25:51.339 --> 00:25:51.740
 judgment.

00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:53.319
 Behold,

00:25:53.399 --> 00:25:53.859
 I was brought

00:25:53.859 --> 00:25:54.399
 forth in

00:25:54.399 --> 00:25:55.019
 iniquity and

00:25:55.019 --> 00:25:55.680
 sinned and

00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:56.200
 my mother

00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:57.119
 conceived

00:25:57.119 --> 00:25:57.440
 me.

00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:00.159
 One man

00:26:00.159 --> 00:26:00.500
 that I

00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:01.139
 respect a

00:26:01.139 --> 00:26:02.500
 lot said

00:26:02.500 --> 00:26:03.139
 about Psalm

00:26:03.139 --> 00:26:03.839
 51,

00:26:04.539 --> 00:26:05.700
 David's

00:26:05.700 --> 00:26:06.359
 sin made

00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:06.779
 him feel

00:26:06.779 --> 00:26:08.259
 dirty and

00:26:08.259 --> 00:26:08.899
 he desires

00:26:08.899 --> 00:26:09.240
 to be

00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:09.680
 clean.

00:26:10.899 --> 00:26:11.440
 David's

00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:12.980
 guilt made

00:26:12.980 --> 00:26:13.379
 him feel

00:26:13.379 --> 00:26:14.740
 sick and

00:26:14.740 --> 00:26:15.379
 he desires

00:26:15.379 --> 00:26:15.839
 to be

00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:16.240
 well.

00:26:17.659 --> 00:26:18.059
 His

00:26:18.059 --> 00:26:19.019
 disobedience

00:26:19.019 --> 00:26:20.039
 made him

00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:20.759
 feel lonely

00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:22.159
 and he

00:26:22.159 --> 00:26:22.659
 desires

00:26:22.659 --> 00:26:23.440
 relational

00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:24.480
 reconciliation.

00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:26.119
 His

00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:26.559
 rebellion

00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:27.039
 made him

00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:27.799
 fearful of

00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:28.180
 God,

00:26:28.639 --> 00:26:29.559
 but now

00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:30.480
 he desires

00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:30.879
 to be

00:26:30.879 --> 00:26:32.079
 pardoned.

00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:32.480
 It's a

00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:33.299
 summary of

00:26:33.299 --> 00:26:33.599
 a lot

00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:34.079
 of this.

00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:35.259
 But we

00:26:35.259 --> 00:26:35.599
 see that

00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:36.240
 he truly

00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:37.079
 confesses

00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:37.439
 his sin.

00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:37.720
 He says,

00:26:37.899 --> 00:26:38.659
 I know

00:26:38.659 --> 00:26:39.519
 my

00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:40.399
 transgressions

00:26:40.399 --> 00:26:40.740
 and my

00:26:40.740 --> 00:26:41.099
 sin is

00:26:41.099 --> 00:26:41.639
 ever before

00:26:41.639 --> 00:26:41.899
 me.

00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:42.740
 I

00:26:42.740 --> 00:26:43.579
 humbly

00:26:43.579 --> 00:26:44.839
 fully

00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:45.379
 acknowledge

00:26:45.379 --> 00:26:45.879
 what I've

00:26:45.879 --> 00:26:46.240
 done.

00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:47.740
 The evil

00:26:47.740 --> 00:26:48.059
 that I've

00:26:48.059 --> 00:26:48.339
 committed

00:26:48.339 --> 00:26:48.980
 is present

00:26:48.980 --> 00:26:49.339
 with me

00:26:49.339 --> 00:26:49.799
 wherever I

00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:49.939
 go.

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:50.199
 You ever

00:26:50.199 --> 00:26:50.799
 notice that?

00:26:50.859 --> 00:26:51.099
 Like if

00:26:51.099 --> 00:26:51.259
 you've

00:26:51.259 --> 00:26:51.619
 committed

00:26:51.619 --> 00:26:53.059
 great sin

00:26:53.059 --> 00:26:53.619
 and evil

00:26:53.619 --> 00:26:54.659
 that you

00:26:54.659 --> 00:26:55.019
 can't just

00:26:55.019 --> 00:26:55.539
 sort of brush

00:26:55.539 --> 00:26:55.939
 it away,

00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:56.159
 that it

00:26:56.159 --> 00:26:56.480
 just kind

00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:56.759
 of is on

00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:57.220
 your mind

00:26:57.220 --> 00:26:57.539
 or your

00:26:57.539 --> 00:26:58.119
 conscience

00:26:58.119 --> 00:26:59.960
 constantly.

00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:00.480
 He's like,

00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:00.980
 it's always

00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:01.440
 in my

00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:02.759
 faith

00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:03.460
 staring at

00:27:03.460 --> 00:27:03.700
 me.

00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:05.440
 When we

00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:05.879
 sin against

00:27:05.879 --> 00:27:06.259
 the Lord,

00:27:06.339 --> 00:27:06.819
 our souls

00:27:06.819 --> 00:27:07.319
 are troubled

00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:07.700
 and in

00:27:07.700 --> 00:27:08.019
 turmoil

00:27:08.019 --> 00:27:09.079
 and it

00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:09.720
 stays with

00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:10.200
 us.

00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:11.599
 So not

00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:12.079
 just a

00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:12.259
 mere

00:27:12.259 --> 00:27:12.839
 acknowledgement

00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:13.339
 of the

00:27:13.339 --> 00:27:13.660
 offense

00:27:13.660 --> 00:27:13.859
 you've

00:27:13.859 --> 00:27:14.059
 committed,

00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:14.259
 like,

00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:14.460
 yeah,

00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:14.640
 yeah,

00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:14.900
 I know

00:27:14.900 --> 00:27:15.119
 I've

00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:15.579
 sinned.

00:27:16.019 --> 00:27:16.220
 That's

00:27:16.220 --> 00:27:16.660
 what Saul

00:27:16.660 --> 00:27:17.039
 did,

00:27:17.140 --> 00:27:17.379
 right?

00:27:18.660 --> 00:27:19.819
 But he

00:27:19.819 --> 00:27:20.299
 owns it.

00:27:20.339 --> 00:27:20.619
 He takes

00:27:20.619 --> 00:27:21.039
 full

00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:21.900
 responsibility

00:27:21.900 --> 00:27:22.759
 bearing the

00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:23.460
 consequences

00:27:23.460 --> 00:27:24.700
 of that

00:27:24.700 --> 00:27:25.000
 sin.

00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:25.339
 It's not

00:27:25.339 --> 00:27:26.099
 anyone else's

00:27:26.099 --> 00:27:26.339
 fault.

00:27:26.339 --> 00:27:26.559
 He's

00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:26.959
 recognizing

00:27:26.959 --> 00:27:27.179
 that,

00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:27.379
 God,

00:27:27.419 --> 00:27:27.619
 it's not

00:27:27.619 --> 00:27:28.079
 your fault.

00:27:28.679 --> 00:27:29.079
 It's not

00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:29.819
 Bathsheba's

00:27:29.819 --> 00:27:30.119
 fault.

00:27:31.099 --> 00:27:32.079
 I alone

00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:32.799
 am guilty

00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:34.220
 for this

00:27:34.220 --> 00:27:34.659
 sin.

00:27:35.659 --> 00:27:35.879
 So he

00:27:35.879 --> 00:27:36.339
 doesn't play

00:27:36.339 --> 00:27:36.799
 the victim

00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:37.419
 mentality

00:27:37.419 --> 00:27:38.019
 of culture.

00:27:38.099 --> 00:27:38.439
 This just

00:27:38.439 --> 00:27:39.079
 happened to

00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:39.379
 me,

00:27:39.959 --> 00:27:41.359
 right?

00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:42.399
 It's

00:27:42.399 --> 00:27:43.019
 because,

00:27:43.259 --> 00:27:43.740
 not just

00:27:43.740 --> 00:27:44.139
 because of

00:27:44.139 --> 00:27:44.679
 my bad

00:27:44.679 --> 00:27:45.179
 upbringing,

00:27:45.419 --> 00:27:45.619
 right?

00:27:45.679 --> 00:27:45.879
 It's,

00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:46.859
 he's saying

00:27:46.859 --> 00:27:47.220
 like,

00:27:47.299 --> 00:27:48.059
 I'm guilty.

00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:49.220
 I own

00:27:49.220 --> 00:27:49.359
 it.

00:27:49.439 --> 00:27:49.720
 I own

00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:50.079
 all of

00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:50.259
 it.

00:27:51.059 --> 00:27:51.399
 And he

00:27:51.399 --> 00:27:52.159
 also mentions

00:27:52.159 --> 00:27:52.459
 here,

00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:52.859
 this is

00:27:52.859 --> 00:27:53.639
 very key,

00:27:54.579 --> 00:27:55.339
 against you

00:27:55.339 --> 00:27:55.699
 and you

00:27:55.699 --> 00:27:56.119
 alone,

00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:56.479
 have I

00:27:56.479 --> 00:27:56.819
 sinned

00:27:56.819 --> 00:27:57.299
 against,

00:27:58.000 --> 00:27:58.219
 and

00:27:58.219 --> 00:27:58.399
 don't

00:27:58.399 --> 00:27:58.519
 want

00:27:58.519 --> 00:27:58.579
 to

00:27:58.579 --> 00:27:58.619
 have

00:27:58.619 --> 00:27:59.699
 sinned

00:27:59.699 --> 00:27:59.859
 against,

00:27:59.859 --> 00:28:00.859
 God,

00:28:00.859 --> 00:28:03.479
 I've

00:28:03.479 --> 00:28:03.739
 sinned

00:28:03.739 --> 00:28:04.000
 against

00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:04.579
 Bathsheba.

00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:05.799
 I've

00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:06.319
 mistreated

00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:06.619
 her.

00:28:07.379 --> 00:28:08.039
 I dishonored

00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:08.659
 her house.

00:28:08.739 --> 00:28:09.239
 I dishonored

00:28:09.239 --> 00:28:09.779
 her husband.

00:28:11.159 --> 00:28:11.899
 He also

00:28:11.899 --> 00:28:12.219
 could have

00:28:12.219 --> 00:28:12.459
 said,

00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:13.319
 I sinned

00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:13.559
 against

00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:13.959
 Uriah.

00:28:14.019 --> 00:28:14.479
 I had a

00:28:14.479 --> 00:28:15.359
 loyal soldier

00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:15.899
 killed.

00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:17.719
 He also

00:28:17.719 --> 00:28:18.000
 could have

00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:18.159
 said,

00:28:18.219 --> 00:28:18.579
 I've sinned

00:28:18.579 --> 00:28:19.000
 against the

00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:19.359
 nation,

00:28:19.459 --> 00:28:19.819
 as the

00:28:19.819 --> 00:28:20.159
 king of

00:28:20.159 --> 00:28:20.559
 Israel.

00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:21.919
 all of

00:28:21.919 --> 00:28:22.159
 that would

00:28:22.159 --> 00:28:22.379
 have been

00:28:22.379 --> 00:28:22.819
 true.

00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:24.159
 But why

00:28:24.159 --> 00:28:24.500
 does he

00:28:24.500 --> 00:28:24.839
 say,

00:28:25.019 --> 00:28:25.259
 you and

00:28:25.259 --> 00:28:25.839
 you alone

00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:26.740
 have I

00:28:26.740 --> 00:28:27.039
 sinned

00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:27.299
 against?

00:28:27.379 --> 00:28:27.440
 It's

00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:27.839
 because,

00:28:28.159 --> 00:28:28.779
 supremely,

00:28:28.859 --> 00:28:29.559
 all sin

00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:30.359
 is an

00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:30.720
 affront

00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:31.379
 to God.

00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:32.019
 It opposes

00:28:32.019 --> 00:28:32.839
 God and

00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:33.159
 all he

00:28:33.159 --> 00:28:33.839
 stands for.

00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:35.039
 He intrinsically

00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:34.460
!

00:28:34.460 --> 00:28:35.059
 He intrinsically

00:28:35.059 --> 00:28:36.099
 hates sin

00:28:36.099 --> 00:28:37.039
 and has

00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:37.740
 vowed to

00:28:37.740 --> 00:28:38.599
 destroy it.

00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:40.179
 So,

00:28:40.299 --> 00:28:40.940
 though sin

00:28:40.940 --> 00:28:41.519
 does do

00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:42.200
 harm to

00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:42.980
 ourselves,

00:28:43.919 --> 00:28:44.220
 right,

00:28:44.339 --> 00:28:44.899
 it does,

00:28:44.980 --> 00:28:45.539
 and others,

00:28:45.639 --> 00:28:46.220
 it's ultimately

00:28:46.220 --> 00:28:46.899
 against our

00:28:46.899 --> 00:28:47.799
 loving creator.

00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:49.019
 That's what

00:28:49.019 --> 00:28:49.680
 he said in

00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:50.619
 verse 13

00:28:50.619 --> 00:28:51.539
 of 2 Samuel.

00:28:52.259 --> 00:28:53.059
 I've sinned

00:28:53.059 --> 00:28:53.460
 against the

00:28:53.460 --> 00:28:53.680
 Lord.

00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:54.119
 That was his

00:28:54.119 --> 00:28:54.700
 first knee

00:28:54.700 --> 00:28:54.960
 jerk.

00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:56.359
 I've sinned

00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:56.799
 against the

00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:57.079
 Lord.

00:28:58.019 --> 00:28:58.139
 So,

00:28:58.259 --> 00:28:58.980
 sin involves

00:28:58.980 --> 00:28:59.639
 a turning

00:28:59.639 --> 00:29:01.159
 from God

00:29:01.159 --> 00:29:01.899
 and unbelief

00:29:01.899 --> 00:29:02.359
 and turning

00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:04.440
 to idolatry,

00:29:04.619 --> 00:29:05.059
 thinking that

00:29:05.059 --> 00:29:05.359
 we're going

00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:05.619
 to get

00:29:05.619 --> 00:29:06.059
 something

00:29:06.059 --> 00:29:07.099
 from an

00:29:07.099 --> 00:29:07.599
 idol that

00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:08.500
 we refuse

00:29:08.500 --> 00:29:08.899
 to think

00:29:08.899 --> 00:29:09.119
 that we

00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:09.419
 can get

00:29:09.419 --> 00:29:09.980
 from God,

00:29:10.159 --> 00:29:10.639
 to get

00:29:10.639 --> 00:29:11.019
 joy,

00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:11.619
 get comfort,

00:29:11.740 --> 00:29:12.480
 get security,

00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:13.619
 when only

00:29:13.619 --> 00:29:14.539
 God himself

00:29:14.539 --> 00:29:15.099
 can offer

00:29:15.099 --> 00:29:15.359
 it.

00:29:16.299 --> 00:29:16.619
 So,

00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:17.079
 when we

00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:17.740
 sin against

00:29:17.740 --> 00:29:18.059
 God,

00:29:18.140 --> 00:29:18.500
 we're saying,

00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:18.920
 I don't

00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:19.460
 trust you

00:29:19.460 --> 00:29:19.759
 in this

00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:20.140
 moment,

00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:21.480
 I do not

00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:21.940
 believe that

00:29:21.940 --> 00:29:22.319
 your way

00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:22.660
 is the

00:29:22.660 --> 00:29:23.120
 best,

00:29:23.660 --> 00:29:24.220
 and I do

00:29:24.220 --> 00:29:24.700
 not believe

00:29:24.700 --> 00:29:25.019
 that your

00:29:25.019 --> 00:29:25.519
 way is the

00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:26.000
 wisest.

00:29:26.380 --> 00:29:27.099
 When we

00:29:27.099 --> 00:29:27.420
 sin,

00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:28.240
 those moments

00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:29.420
 are turning

00:29:29.420 --> 00:29:30.059
 from God.

00:29:31.019 --> 00:29:31.400
 This is

00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:32.000
 important too.

00:29:32.140 --> 00:29:32.680
 Repentance

00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:33.180
 is not just

00:29:33.180 --> 00:29:34.000
 feeling bad

00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:35.440
 about what

00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:36.299
 you've done.

00:29:37.220 --> 00:29:38.019
 It's not just

00:29:38.019 --> 00:29:38.660
 feeling shame

00:29:38.660 --> 00:29:39.180
 and guilt.

00:29:40.339 --> 00:29:40.859
 Unbelievers

00:29:40.859 --> 00:29:41.539
 who don't know

00:29:41.539 --> 00:29:42.099
 Christ feel

00:29:42.099 --> 00:29:42.859
 shame and guilt.

00:29:43.299 --> 00:29:43.799
 You know that?

00:29:44.579 --> 00:29:45.579
 They feel bad

00:29:45.579 --> 00:29:46.259
 about what they

00:29:46.259 --> 00:29:46.500
 did.

00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:48.059
 But typically,

00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:48.779
 it's always

00:29:48.779 --> 00:29:49.740
 tied to the

00:29:49.740 --> 00:29:50.779
 consequences that

00:29:50.779 --> 00:29:51.339
 they're facing.

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:52.880
 Not that they've

00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:53.359
 sinned against

00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:53.779
 God.

00:29:54.700 --> 00:29:55.099
 They hate that

00:29:55.099 --> 00:29:55.420
 they've been

00:29:55.420 --> 00:29:55.779
 caught.

00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:56.380
 They hate that

00:29:56.380 --> 00:29:57.180
 it's causing

00:29:57.180 --> 00:29:57.660
 their life

00:29:57.660 --> 00:29:58.119
 misery.

00:29:58.819 --> 00:29:59.359
 Paul writes

00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:00.319
 about this in

00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:01.480
 2 Corinthians 7,

00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:02.240
 9 and 10.

00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:04.380
 He talks about

00:30:04.380 --> 00:30:05.460
 a godly sorrow

00:30:05.460 --> 00:30:06.279
 and a worldly

00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:06.920
 sorrow.

00:30:08.180 --> 00:30:08.799
 Paul says,

00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:09.740
 as it is,

00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:10.899
 I rejoice,

00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:11.519
 not because

00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:11.899
 you were

00:30:11.899 --> 00:30:12.480
 grieved,

00:30:13.139 --> 00:30:14.379
 but because

00:30:14.379 --> 00:30:14.740
 you were

00:30:14.740 --> 00:30:15.519
 grieved into

00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:16.279
 repenting.

00:30:16.819 --> 00:30:17.480
 For you

00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:18.139
 felt a

00:30:18.139 --> 00:30:19.319
 godly sorrow

00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:20.639
 so that you

00:30:20.639 --> 00:30:21.299
 suffered no

00:30:21.299 --> 00:30:21.839
 loss through

00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:22.180
 us.

00:30:22.700 --> 00:30:23.419
 For godly

00:30:23.419 --> 00:30:24.339
 grief produces

00:30:24.339 --> 00:30:25.539
 a repentance

00:30:25.539 --> 00:30:26.460
 that leads to

00:30:26.460 --> 00:30:27.039
 salvation

00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:29.019
 without regret,

00:30:29.579 --> 00:30:30.339
 whereas a

00:30:30.339 --> 00:30:31.359
 worldly grief

00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:31.960
 produces

00:30:31.960 --> 00:30:32.559
 death.

00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:33.759
 And so you

00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:34.419
 have to examine

00:30:34.420 --> 00:30:34.960
 yourself.

00:30:35.100 --> 00:30:36.400
 When I sin,

00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:36.940
 when I do

00:30:36.940 --> 00:30:37.460
 something and

00:30:37.460 --> 00:30:38.000
 I'm caught,

00:30:38.620 --> 00:30:39.259
 am I mainly

00:30:39.259 --> 00:30:40.080
 upset because

00:30:40.080 --> 00:30:40.380
 of the

00:30:40.380 --> 00:30:41.019
 consequences?

00:30:42.180 --> 00:30:42.960
 Is it a

00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:43.759
 worldly grief

00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:44.480
 or is it a

00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:45.480
 godly sorrow,

00:30:45.620 --> 00:30:46.380
 a godly grief

00:30:46.380 --> 00:30:46.980
 that leads to

00:30:46.980 --> 00:30:48.259
 salvation because

00:30:48.259 --> 00:30:48.900
 you've sinned

00:30:48.900 --> 00:30:49.740
 against God?

00:30:51.140 --> 00:30:52.080
 Very important.

00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:52.759
 Not just to

00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:53.259
 acknowledge that

00:30:53.259 --> 00:30:53.640
 we've done it.

00:30:53.660 --> 00:30:54.080
 We've sinned

00:30:54.080 --> 00:30:54.580
 against the

00:30:54.580 --> 00:30:55.200
 Lord God

00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:55.740
 Almighty

00:30:55.740 --> 00:30:56.380
 Himself.

00:30:57.440 --> 00:30:57.580
 Alright,

00:30:57.640 --> 00:30:58.860
 so then we

00:30:58.860 --> 00:31:00.660
 see next this

00:31:00.660 --> 00:31:02.080
 spiritual condition

00:31:02.080 --> 00:31:02.580
 of sin.

00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:03.380
 David says in

00:31:03.380 --> 00:31:03.960
 verse 5,

00:31:04.420 --> 00:31:04.880
 I was brought

00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:05.320
 forth in

00:31:05.320 --> 00:31:05.779
 our iniquity

00:31:05.779 --> 00:31:06.320
 and sin

00:31:06.320 --> 00:31:06.640
 to my

00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:07.500
 mother conceived

00:31:07.500 --> 00:31:07.920
 me.

00:31:08.620 --> 00:31:09.200
 The reality

00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:09.920
 is that sin

00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:10.620
 is this dire

00:31:10.620 --> 00:31:11.220
 condition,

00:31:11.380 --> 00:31:11.820
 not just an

00:31:11.820 --> 00:31:12.220
 action.

00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:13.340
 We have to

00:31:13.340 --> 00:31:13.800
 teach our

00:31:13.800 --> 00:31:14.539
 kids this,

00:31:14.620 --> 00:31:15.900
 that sin

00:31:15.900 --> 00:31:16.380
 is not just

00:31:16.380 --> 00:31:17.160
 an action.

00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:18.539
 It's a

00:31:18.539 --> 00:31:19.000
 condition.

00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:19.880
 It's a

00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:20.300
 fallen

00:31:20.300 --> 00:31:21.640
 spiritual

00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:22.700
 problem.

00:31:23.660 --> 00:31:24.000
 And so

00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:25.039
 these are

00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:26.259
 symptoms of

00:31:26.259 --> 00:31:27.460
 the bigger

00:31:27.460 --> 00:31:28.259
 problem.

00:31:28.920 --> 00:31:29.680
 They come

00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:30.920
 from within

00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:31.340
 us.

00:31:32.120 --> 00:31:32.980
 Man is born

00:31:32.980 --> 00:31:33.660
 in a state

00:31:33.660 --> 00:31:34.340
 of sin.

00:31:35.180 --> 00:31:35.539
 We are

00:31:35.539 --> 00:31:35.940
 born

00:31:35.940 --> 00:31:36.600
 spiritually

00:31:36.600 --> 00:31:37.360
 dead.

00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:38.400
 Ephesians 2.

00:31:39.360 --> 00:31:39.620
 Our

00:31:39.620 --> 00:31:40.279
 understanding

00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:41.000
 is darkened

00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:41.279
 and our

00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:41.779
 hearts are

00:31:41.779 --> 00:31:42.240
 corrupted

00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:43.660
 by evil.

00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:43.940
 We are

00:31:43.940 --> 00:31:44.660
 enslaved

00:31:44.660 --> 00:31:45.560
 to sin

00:31:45.560 --> 00:31:46.500
 without

00:31:46.500 --> 00:31:47.039
 Christ.

00:31:47.860 --> 00:31:48.340
 So,

00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:48.900
 he's not

00:31:48.900 --> 00:31:49.360
 making an

00:31:49.360 --> 00:31:49.700
 excuse.

00:31:50.360 --> 00:31:50.720
 He's not

00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:51.120
 doing like,

00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:51.259
 well,

00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:51.700
 I was just

00:31:51.700 --> 00:31:52.160
 born this

00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:52.480
 way.

00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:53.920
 He's

00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:55.180
 saying this

00:31:55.180 --> 00:31:56.300
 as a

00:31:56.300 --> 00:31:56.800
 means to

00:31:56.800 --> 00:31:57.279
 implore

00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:57.700
 God's

00:31:57.700 --> 00:31:58.200
 pity on

00:31:58.200 --> 00:31:58.380
 him.

00:31:58.380 --> 00:31:58.600
 Like,

00:31:58.640 --> 00:31:58.820
 God,

00:31:58.880 --> 00:31:59.500
 I am

00:31:59.500 --> 00:32:00.900
 so weak.

00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:02.160
 I'm so

00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:02.559
 helpless.

00:32:02.900 --> 00:32:03.180
 There's

00:32:03.180 --> 00:32:04.259
 nothing I

00:32:04.259 --> 00:32:04.859
 can do to

00:32:04.859 --> 00:32:05.460
 save myself

00:32:05.460 --> 00:32:05.960
 or change

00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:06.279
 myself.

00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:06.859
 Please,

00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:07.380
 I beg

00:32:07.380 --> 00:32:07.660
 you,

00:32:08.339 --> 00:32:08.980
 forgive me,

00:32:09.059 --> 00:32:09.680
 have mercy.

00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:12.079
 I've always

00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:12.579
 been this

00:32:12.579 --> 00:32:12.940
 way,

00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:13.940
 always sinful.

00:32:14.819 --> 00:32:15.240
 This goes

00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:15.819
 into question

00:32:15.819 --> 00:32:16.420
 number three.

00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:18.680
 What is the

00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:19.519
 evidence of

00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:20.240
 true repentance

00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:21.039
 in David?

00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:21.640
 What is the

00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:22.299
 evidence of

00:32:22.299 --> 00:32:23.539
 true repentance

00:32:23.539 --> 00:32:24.180
 in David?

00:32:25.180 --> 00:32:25.420
 And we

00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:26.259
 see three

00:32:26.259 --> 00:32:26.960
 things

00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:27.340
 underneath

00:32:27.340 --> 00:32:28.500
 this,

00:32:28.560 --> 00:32:28.860
 but let's

00:32:28.860 --> 00:32:29.220
 read it.

00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:29.519
 Verses

00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:31.240
 6-12.

00:32:32.180 --> 00:32:32.799
 David says,

00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:33.340
 Behold,

00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:34.720
 you delight

00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:35.299
 in truth

00:32:35.299 --> 00:32:35.600
 and the

00:32:35.600 --> 00:32:36.320
 inward being,

00:32:36.840 --> 00:32:37.180
 and you

00:32:37.180 --> 00:32:37.640
 teach me

00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:38.039
 wisdom

00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:38.400
 and the

00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:38.660
 secret

00:32:38.660 --> 00:32:39.080
 heart.

00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:39.920
 Purge

00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:40.240
 me with

00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:40.620
 hyssop

00:32:40.620 --> 00:32:40.940
 and I

00:32:40.940 --> 00:32:41.220
 shall be

00:32:41.220 --> 00:32:41.580
 clean.

00:32:41.779 --> 00:32:42.100
 Wash

00:32:42.100 --> 00:32:42.320
 me,

00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:42.680
 I shall

00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:43.259
 be whiter

00:32:43.259 --> 00:32:43.620
 than

00:32:43.620 --> 00:32:44.019
 snow.

00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:45.180
 Let

00:32:45.180 --> 00:32:45.799
 my heart,

00:32:46.600 --> 00:32:46.940
 let me

00:32:46.940 --> 00:32:47.640
 hear joy

00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:48.360
 and gladness.

00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:48.720
 Let the

00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:49.180
 bones that

00:32:49.180 --> 00:32:49.480
 you have

00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:49.940
 broken

00:32:49.940 --> 00:32:50.500
 rejoice.

00:32:51.299 --> 00:32:51.560
 Hide

00:32:51.560 --> 00:32:52.279
 your face

00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:52.720
 from my

00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:53.279
 sins

00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:53.900
 and blot

00:32:53.900 --> 00:32:54.540
 out all

00:32:54.540 --> 00:32:54.780
 my

00:32:54.780 --> 00:32:55.360
 iniquities.

00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:56.440
 Create

00:32:56.440 --> 00:32:56.720
 in me

00:32:56.720 --> 00:32:57.140
 a clean

00:32:57.140 --> 00:32:57.519
 heart,

00:32:57.660 --> 00:32:58.080
 O God,

00:32:58.120 --> 00:32:58.540
 and renew

00:32:58.540 --> 00:32:59.000
 a right

00:32:59.000 --> 00:32:59.460
 spirit

00:32:59.460 --> 00:33:00.120
 within me.

00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:01.000
 Cast

00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:01.380
 me not

00:33:01.380 --> 00:33:01.680
 away

00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:01.880
 from

00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:02.019
 your

00:33:02.019 --> 00:33:02.620
 presence.

00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:03.519
 Do

00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:03.759
 not

00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:04.019
 take

00:33:04.019 --> 00:33:04.180
 your

00:33:04.180 --> 00:33:04.480
 Holy

00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:04.820
 Spirit

00:33:04.820 --> 00:33:05.180
 from

00:33:05.180 --> 00:33:05.480
 me.

00:33:06.540 --> 00:33:06.940
 Restore

00:33:06.940 --> 00:33:07.200
 to me

00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:07.800
 the joy

00:33:07.800 --> 00:33:08.380
 of your

00:33:08.380 --> 00:33:08.900
 salvation.

00:33:09.100 --> 00:33:09.400
 Withhold

00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:09.560
 me

00:33:09.560 --> 00:33:09.860
 with a

00:33:09.860 --> 00:33:10.100
 willing

00:33:10.100 --> 00:33:10.660
 spirit.

00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:12.280
 So we

00:33:12.280 --> 00:33:12.720
 see three

00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:13.360
 things that

00:33:13.360 --> 00:33:13.980
 give evidence

00:33:13.980 --> 00:33:14.500
 that his

00:33:14.500 --> 00:33:14.920
 repentance

00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:15.560
 is real

00:33:15.560 --> 00:33:15.960
 here.

00:33:16.840 --> 00:33:17.320
 The first

00:33:17.320 --> 00:33:17.800
 one is

00:33:17.800 --> 00:33:18.900
 he has

00:33:18.900 --> 00:33:19.580
 a longing

00:33:19.580 --> 00:33:20.680
 to be

00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:21.080
 right

00:33:21.080 --> 00:33:21.400
 with

00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:21.880
 God.

00:33:22.700 --> 00:33:23.040
 He

00:33:23.040 --> 00:33:23.360
 has a

00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:23.719
 longing

00:33:23.719 --> 00:33:24.119
 to be

00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:24.359
 right

00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:24.539
 with

00:33:24.539 --> 00:33:24.859
 God.

00:33:24.959 --> 00:33:25.099
 This

00:33:25.099 --> 00:33:25.539
 inward

00:33:25.539 --> 00:33:26.059
 renewal.

00:33:27.059 --> 00:33:27.240
 Verse

00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:27.719
 7,

00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:29.339
 the literal

00:33:29.339 --> 00:33:29.979
 says,

00:33:30.179 --> 00:33:30.419
 it is

00:33:30.419 --> 00:33:31.079
 truth

00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:32.179
 that gives

00:33:32.179 --> 00:33:32.339
 you

00:33:32.339 --> 00:33:32.759
 pleasure.

00:33:34.639 --> 00:33:35.119
 God

00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:35.679
 desires

00:33:35.679 --> 00:33:36.299
 not just

00:33:36.299 --> 00:33:36.779
 that we

00:33:36.779 --> 00:33:39.319
 change our

00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:39.939
 actions on

00:33:39.939 --> 00:33:40.459
 the outside,

00:33:40.619 --> 00:33:40.799
 but from

00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:41.259
 the inside.

00:33:41.479 --> 00:33:41.679
 So he

00:33:41.679 --> 00:33:42.319
 recognizes

00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:42.619
 that,

00:33:42.679 --> 00:33:43.019
 that God

00:33:43.019 --> 00:33:43.399
 loves

00:33:43.399 --> 00:33:43.939
 truth.

00:33:44.500 --> 00:33:44.979
 He loves

00:33:44.979 --> 00:33:45.579
 righteousness

00:33:45.579 --> 00:33:46.039
 in the

00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:46.339
 deepest

00:33:46.339 --> 00:33:46.939
 places

00:33:46.939 --> 00:33:47.379
 of our

00:33:47.379 --> 00:33:47.779
 hearts.

00:33:48.259 --> 00:33:48.679
 So he's

00:33:48.679 --> 00:33:49.240
 asking God

00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:49.479
 to go

00:33:49.479 --> 00:33:50.119
 door-to-door

00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:51.259
 in his

00:33:51.259 --> 00:33:51.519
 heart,

00:33:51.579 --> 00:33:51.959
 to clean

00:33:51.959 --> 00:33:52.339
 it out,

00:33:52.399 --> 00:33:52.599
 and to

00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:52.939
 make it

00:33:52.939 --> 00:33:54.179
 holy and

00:33:54.179 --> 00:33:54.599
 pure.

00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:55.839
 True

00:33:55.839 --> 00:33:56.559
 repentance

00:33:56.559 --> 00:33:57.819
 brings a

00:33:57.819 --> 00:33:58.419
 desire to

00:33:58.419 --> 00:33:58.839
 change.

00:33:58.919 --> 00:33:59.000
 It

00:33:59.000 --> 00:33:59.319
 isn't just

00:33:59.319 --> 00:33:59.599
 God

00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:00.139
 forgive me,

00:34:00.179 --> 00:34:00.519
 but God

00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:01.319
 change me

00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:02.399
 in a way

00:34:02.399 --> 00:34:03.039
 that honors

00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:03.359
 you,

00:34:03.479 --> 00:34:04.079
 starting in

00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:04.699
 my heart.

00:34:05.619 --> 00:34:05.959
 Truth

00:34:05.959 --> 00:34:06.679
 gives you

00:34:06.679 --> 00:34:07.359
 pleasure.

00:34:07.719 --> 00:34:08.019
 I don't

00:34:08.019 --> 00:34:08.299
 want to

00:34:08.299 --> 00:34:08.839
 stay like

00:34:08.839 --> 00:34:09.119
 this.

00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:09.339
 I want

00:34:09.339 --> 00:34:09.699
 to honor

00:34:09.699 --> 00:34:10.039
 you.

00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:11.219
 Then

00:34:11.219 --> 00:34:11.659
 secondly,

00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:13.279
 we see

00:34:13.279 --> 00:34:14.259
 in verse

00:34:14.259 --> 00:34:14.639
 7,

00:34:14.940 --> 00:34:15.420
 there's a

00:34:15.420 --> 00:34:16.599
 condition here

00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:17.039
 that sin

00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:18.079
 defiles us.

00:34:19.139 --> 00:34:19.519
 Sin

00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:20.440
 defiles us.

00:34:20.579 --> 00:34:21.059
 Ezekiel

00:34:21.059 --> 00:34:21.559
 20,

00:34:22.279 --> 00:34:23.099
 verse 43,

00:34:23.259 --> 00:34:23.599
 listen to

00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:24.000
 this,

00:34:24.799 --> 00:34:25.179
 and there

00:34:25.179 --> 00:34:25.639
 you shall

00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:26.079
 remember

00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:26.839
 your ways

00:34:26.839 --> 00:34:27.799
 and all

00:34:27.799 --> 00:34:28.360
 your deeds

00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:28.659
 in which

00:34:28.659 --> 00:34:29.019
 you have

00:34:29.019 --> 00:34:29.579
 defiled

00:34:29.579 --> 00:34:30.299
 yourselves,

00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:31.539
 and you

00:34:31.539 --> 00:34:32.159
 shall loathe

00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:32.759
 yourselves

00:34:32.759 --> 00:34:33.940
 for all

00:34:33.940 --> 00:34:34.579
 the evils

00:34:34.579 --> 00:34:34.839
 that you

00:34:34.839 --> 00:34:35.440
 have committed.

00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:37.639
 So sin

00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:38.299
 causes us

00:34:38.299 --> 00:34:39.119
 to feel

00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:39.799
 defiled,

00:34:40.279 --> 00:34:40.779
 that we

00:34:40.779 --> 00:34:41.159
 loathe

00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:41.839
 ourselves

00:34:41.839 --> 00:34:43.019
 for all

00:34:43.019 --> 00:34:43.440
 the evil

00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:43.779
 we have

00:34:43.779 --> 00:34:44.099
 committed.

00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:44.440
 So he

00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:44.619
 says,

00:34:44.739 --> 00:34:45.960
 purify me,

00:34:46.099 --> 00:34:46.579
 wash me,

00:34:46.579 --> 00:34:46.739
 me.

00:34:47.219 --> 00:34:47.559
 He

00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:47.880
 mentions

00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:48.340
 hyssop,

00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:48.599
 that's

00:34:48.599 --> 00:34:49.239
 a plant

00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:49.440
 that's

00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:49.719
 in the

00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:49.940
 mint

00:34:49.940 --> 00:34:50.420
 family,

00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:51.699
 a cluster

00:34:51.699 --> 00:34:52.380
 of flowers,

00:34:52.460 --> 00:34:52.719
 it was

00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:53.259
 used to

00:34:53.259 --> 00:34:53.779
 sprinkle the

00:34:53.779 --> 00:34:55.019
 blood over

00:34:55.019 --> 00:34:55.739
 the doors,

00:34:56.779 --> 00:34:57.559
 the Israelites

00:34:57.559 --> 00:34:57.980
 when they

00:34:57.980 --> 00:34:58.199
 were in

00:34:58.199 --> 00:34:58.579
 Egypt,

00:34:58.860 --> 00:34:59.340
 the angel

00:34:59.340 --> 00:34:59.719
 of death

00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:00.139
 would pass

00:35:00.139 --> 00:35:00.719
 over them.

00:35:01.659 --> 00:35:01.940
 Then he

00:35:01.940 --> 00:35:02.259
 says,

00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:02.940
 so he's

00:35:02.940 --> 00:35:03.099
 saying

00:35:03.099 --> 00:35:03.880
 symbolically,

00:35:04.099 --> 00:35:04.579
 cleanse me,

00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:05.380
 symbolically,

00:35:06.139 --> 00:35:06.699
 wash me,

00:35:06.759 --> 00:35:06.940
 I'll be

00:35:06.940 --> 00:35:07.500
 whiter than

00:35:07.500 --> 00:35:08.219
 snow,

00:35:08.779 --> 00:35:09.400
 clean,

00:35:10.279 --> 00:35:10.739
 pure,

00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:12.840
 unadulterated,

00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:13.739
 beautiful,

00:35:14.940 --> 00:35:15.420
 whiter than

00:35:15.420 --> 00:35:15.739
 snow.

00:35:15.739 --> 00:35:16.419
 Repentance

00:35:16.419 --> 00:35:16.719
 is the

00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:17.339
 desire to

00:35:17.339 --> 00:35:17.939
 be clean

00:35:17.939 --> 00:35:18.599
 from sin

00:35:18.599 --> 00:35:19.719
 and made

00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:20.119
 right.

00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:21.599
 Look at

00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:22.159
 verse 8,

00:35:22.279 --> 00:35:22.599
 he says,

00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:23.219
 let me

00:35:23.219 --> 00:35:23.679
 hear.

00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:24.819
 Alright?

00:35:25.539 --> 00:35:26.339
 He wanted

00:35:26.339 --> 00:35:27.739
 God to

00:35:27.739 --> 00:35:28.159
 allow him

00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:28.939
 to hear joy

00:35:28.939 --> 00:35:29.819
 and gladness

00:35:29.819 --> 00:35:30.679
 once again,

00:35:30.759 --> 00:35:31.179
 instead of

00:35:31.179 --> 00:35:31.719
 just hearing

00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:33.019
 condemnation,

00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:33.519
 instead of

00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:34.079
 just hearing

00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:35.319
 gloom

00:35:35.319 --> 00:35:36.479
 over his

00:35:36.479 --> 00:35:36.879
 sin.

00:35:37.819 --> 00:35:38.619
 Sin only

00:35:38.619 --> 00:35:39.239
 leads to

00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:39.619
 voices,

00:35:39.739 --> 00:35:40.059
 y'all know

00:35:40.059 --> 00:35:40.379
 this,

00:35:40.380 --> 00:35:40.940
 sin leads

00:35:40.940 --> 00:35:41.140
 to

00:35:41.140 --> 00:35:41.599
 voices

00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:42.920
 of guilt,

00:35:43.240 --> 00:35:43.579
 shame,

00:35:43.700 --> 00:35:43.800
 and

00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:44.660
 condemnation,

00:35:45.539 --> 00:35:46.180
 anxiety.

00:35:47.460 --> 00:35:48.000
 Repentance

00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:48.380
 is a

00:35:48.380 --> 00:35:48.860
 longing to

00:35:48.860 --> 00:35:49.420
 hear God's

00:35:49.420 --> 00:35:50.099
 voice again

00:35:50.099 --> 00:35:51.700
 as your

00:35:51.700 --> 00:35:52.180
 father,

00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:54.280
 loving his

00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:54.619
 word,

00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:55.260
 loving the

00:35:55.260 --> 00:35:55.640
 sound of

00:35:55.640 --> 00:35:56.180
 his voice.

00:35:57.360 --> 00:35:57.820
 And then we

00:35:57.820 --> 00:35:58.180
 see in

00:35:58.180 --> 00:35:58.840
 verse 9

00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:00.260
 that sin

00:36:00.260 --> 00:36:00.940
 can separate

00:36:00.940 --> 00:36:01.380
 us.

00:36:02.019 --> 00:36:02.480
 He says,

00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:03.059
 hide your

00:36:03.059 --> 00:36:03.720
 face from

00:36:03.720 --> 00:36:04.579
 my sin.

00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:05.960
 It's important

00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:07.019
 to see this.

00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:07.760
 Notice that

00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:08.440
 David doesn't

00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:09.119
 want God to

00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:09.440
 hide his

00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:09.800
 face from

00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:10.159
 him.

00:36:10.579 --> 00:36:11.220
 He says,

00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:11.800
 hide your

00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:12.280
 faith from

00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:13.159
 my sin.

00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:15.400
 Again,

00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:16.059
 to the

00:36:16.059 --> 00:36:16.360
 Jews,

00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:16.920
 the Hebrews,

00:36:17.099 --> 00:36:17.460
 the greatest

00:36:17.460 --> 00:36:18.079
 blessing was

00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:18.360
 to see

00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:18.760
 God's

00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:19.139
 face,

00:36:19.820 --> 00:36:21.440
 was an

00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:22.079
 idea of

00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:22.559
 favor,

00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:23.320
 fellowship,

00:36:23.980 --> 00:36:24.800
 and love,

00:36:25.059 --> 00:36:25.559
 and blessing

00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:26.200
 from God.

00:36:26.820 --> 00:36:27.119
 On the

00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:27.539
 other hand,

00:36:27.619 --> 00:36:27.920
 the greatest

00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:28.480
 curse was

00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:28.780
 for God

00:36:28.780 --> 00:36:29.260
 to hide

00:36:29.260 --> 00:36:29.900
 his face

00:36:29.900 --> 00:36:31.260
 from you,

00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:32.480
 which meant

00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:33.220
 curse,

00:36:34.500 --> 00:36:35.159
 displeasure

00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:35.820
 of God.

00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:36.139
 So he's

00:36:36.139 --> 00:36:36.340
 saying,

00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:36.860
 hide your

00:36:36.860 --> 00:36:37.280
 face from

00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:37.619
 what I

00:36:37.619 --> 00:36:37.920
 did,

00:36:38.019 --> 00:36:38.320
 hide your

00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:38.679
 face from

00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:39.340
 my sin,

00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:40.320
 and not

00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:40.659
 me.

00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:41.940
 We see

00:36:41.940 --> 00:36:42.519
 clearly in

00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:42.800
 this that

00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:43.300
 it's God's

00:36:43.300 --> 00:36:43.740
 fellowship

00:36:43.740 --> 00:36:44.119
 that he

00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:44.619
 wants.

00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:46.420
 He says

00:36:46.420 --> 00:36:46.820
 next in

00:36:46.820 --> 00:36:47.480
 verse 11,

00:36:47.619 --> 00:36:48.000
 cast me

00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:48.480
 not away

00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:48.800
 from your

00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:49.480
 presence.

00:36:50.260 --> 00:36:50.700
 Don't

00:36:50.700 --> 00:36:51.059
 take your

00:36:51.059 --> 00:36:51.700
 Holy Spirit

00:36:51.700 --> 00:36:52.380
 from me.

00:36:53.200 --> 00:36:53.559
 Remember,

00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:53.980
 the Holy

00:36:53.980 --> 00:36:54.480
 Spirit is

00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:54.860
 how God

00:36:54.860 --> 00:36:55.519
 manifests

00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:56.260
 himself to

00:36:56.260 --> 00:36:56.800
 us.

00:36:57.400 --> 00:36:57.700
 And in

00:36:57.700 --> 00:36:57.980
 the Old

00:36:57.980 --> 00:36:58.320
 Testament,

00:36:58.460 --> 00:36:59.019
 he empowered

00:36:59.019 --> 00:37:00.360
 men by

00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:00.900
 allowing the

00:37:00.900 --> 00:37:01.360
 Holy Spirit

00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:01.860
 to rest

00:37:01.860 --> 00:37:02.280
 on them,

00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:02.539
 but he

00:37:02.539 --> 00:37:03.300
 ultimately

00:37:03.300 --> 00:37:03.780
 could take

00:37:03.780 --> 00:37:04.159
 it away.

00:37:04.300 --> 00:37:04.420
 He did

00:37:04.420 --> 00:37:04.679
 it with

00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:05.179
 Samson,

00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:06.300
 and even

00:37:06.300 --> 00:37:06.780
 closer to

00:37:06.780 --> 00:37:07.079
 home to

00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:07.320
 David.

00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:07.980
 He saw

00:37:07.980 --> 00:37:09.260
 what happened

00:37:09.260 --> 00:37:09.740
 when King

00:37:09.740 --> 00:37:10.400
 Saul had the

00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:10.900
 Spirit taken

00:37:10.900 --> 00:37:11.240
 away.

00:37:11.340 --> 00:37:11.460
 He's like,

00:37:11.539 --> 00:37:12.460
 please don't

00:37:12.460 --> 00:37:12.760
 let that

00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:13.100
 happen to

00:37:13.100 --> 00:37:13.300
 me.

00:37:13.980 --> 00:37:14.720
 Please don't

00:37:14.720 --> 00:37:15.039
 take your

00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:15.640
 Holy Spirit

00:37:15.640 --> 00:37:16.920
 from me.

00:37:18.100 --> 00:37:18.460
 So,

00:37:18.820 --> 00:37:19.820
 a lot of

00:37:19.820 --> 00:37:20.519
 people want

00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:20.740
 to be

00:37:20.740 --> 00:37:21.280
 delivered from

00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:22.180
 the consequences

00:37:22.180 --> 00:37:23.280
 of their

00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:23.620
 sin,

00:37:23.660 --> 00:37:23.860
 but they

00:37:23.860 --> 00:37:24.420
 don't really

00:37:24.420 --> 00:37:25.460
 want fellowship

00:37:25.460 --> 00:37:26.240
 with God.

00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:27.240
 That's a

00:37:27.240 --> 00:37:27.640
 problem.

00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:28.680
 They want

00:37:28.680 --> 00:37:29.260
 his gifts,

00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:29.700
 but not

00:37:29.700 --> 00:37:30.059
 him.

00:37:30.900 --> 00:37:31.180
 Jonathan

00:37:31.180 --> 00:37:31.740
 Edwards once

00:37:31.740 --> 00:37:31.940
 said,

00:37:31.940 --> 00:37:32.240
 you may

00:37:32.240 --> 00:37:32.579
 love

00:37:32.579 --> 00:37:33.300
 deliverance,

00:37:33.420 --> 00:37:33.840
 but hate

00:37:33.840 --> 00:37:33.960
 the

00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:34.559
 deliverer.

00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:36.920
 Then secondly,

00:37:37.780 --> 00:37:38.240
 what other

00:37:38.240 --> 00:37:38.880
 evidence does

00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:39.240
 he give?

00:37:39.300 --> 00:37:39.700
 He wants

00:37:39.700 --> 00:37:40.059
 fellowship

00:37:40.059 --> 00:37:40.539
 with God.

00:37:40.579 --> 00:37:40.980
 That's the

00:37:40.980 --> 00:37:41.639
 end goal

00:37:41.639 --> 00:37:41.900
 here.

00:37:42.900 --> 00:37:43.559
 Number two

00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:44.059
 is a

00:37:44.059 --> 00:37:44.480
 commitment

00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:46.179
 to newness

00:37:46.179 --> 00:37:46.800
 of life.

00:37:47.659 --> 00:37:47.960
 We see

00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:48.360
 this in

00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:49.119
 verse 12.

00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:50.400
 Restore

00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:50.700
 to me

00:37:50.700 --> 00:37:51.220
 the joy

00:37:51.220 --> 00:37:51.519
 of your

00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:52.099
 salvation.

00:37:52.300 --> 00:37:52.639
 He asked

00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:53.039
 God to

00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:53.579
 infuse

00:37:53.579 --> 00:37:53.900
 him with

00:37:53.900 --> 00:37:54.559
 joy and

00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:55.059
 gladness

00:37:55.059 --> 00:37:56.340
 and thanksgiving

00:37:56.340 --> 00:37:56.679
 in his

00:37:56.679 --> 00:37:57.340
 soul again.

00:37:58.220 --> 00:37:58.579
 Uphold

00:37:58.579 --> 00:37:58.900
 me with

00:37:58.900 --> 00:37:59.360
 a willing

00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:00.000
 and noble

00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:00.579
 spirit.

00:38:00.579 --> 00:38:02.279
 So sustain

00:38:02.279 --> 00:38:02.559
 that.

00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:02.940
 Don't just

00:38:02.940 --> 00:38:03.279
 let it be

00:38:03.279 --> 00:38:03.679
 a flu.

00:38:03.799 --> 00:38:04.279
 Give me

00:38:04.279 --> 00:38:04.940
 enough joy

00:38:04.940 --> 00:38:05.239
 where I

00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:05.519
 can just

00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:06.380
 be sustained,

00:38:06.579 --> 00:38:07.340
 persevered

00:38:07.340 --> 00:38:08.579
 in you

00:38:08.579 --> 00:38:08.860
 and what

00:38:08.860 --> 00:38:09.179
 you have

00:38:09.179 --> 00:38:09.719
 done for

00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:10.019
 me.

00:38:11.219 --> 00:38:11.699
 And then

00:38:11.699 --> 00:38:13.759
 I just

00:38:13.759 --> 00:38:14.000
 want to

00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:14.319
 kind of let

00:38:14.319 --> 00:38:14.699
 you know

00:38:14.699 --> 00:38:15.319
 this really

00:38:15.319 --> 00:38:15.679
 quickly.

00:38:15.940 --> 00:38:16.319
 He uses

00:38:16.319 --> 00:38:16.759
 this term

00:38:16.759 --> 00:38:17.579
 create in

00:38:17.579 --> 00:38:18.779
 me a

00:38:18.779 --> 00:38:19.500
 clean heart.

00:38:20.340 --> 00:38:20.779
 So some

00:38:20.779 --> 00:38:21.079
 of you may

00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:21.519
 be thinking

00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:22.679
 and I

00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:23.139
 can testify

00:38:23.139 --> 00:38:23.460
 I've

00:38:23.460 --> 00:38:23.719
 definitely

00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:24.199
 felt this

00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:24.699
 way before

00:38:24.699 --> 00:38:26.000
 like how

00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:26.500
 can God

00:38:26.500 --> 00:38:27.400
 change me?

00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:28.319
 Like I

00:38:28.319 --> 00:38:28.719
 feel like

00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:29.239
 everything is

00:38:29.239 --> 00:38:29.860
 against me.

00:38:30.579 --> 00:38:30.880
 I feel

00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:31.400
 hopeless.

00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:32.880
 I feel

00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:33.219
 like this

00:38:33.219 --> 00:38:33.739
 sin just

00:38:33.739 --> 00:38:34.380
 dominates

00:38:34.380 --> 00:38:36.000
 me and

00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:36.400
 my heart

00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:36.819
 will just

00:38:36.819 --> 00:38:37.659
 remain this

00:38:37.659 --> 00:38:38.039
 way.

00:38:39.259 --> 00:38:41.000
 So you

00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:41.599
 can't change

00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:42.059
 yourself.

00:38:42.179 --> 00:38:42.699
 Good luck.

00:38:42.980 --> 00:38:43.259
 That's what

00:38:43.259 --> 00:38:43.639
 our culture

00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:44.059
 does.

00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:45.759
 Willpower

00:38:45.759 --> 00:38:47.519
 resolve and

00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:48.059
 it fails.

00:38:49.019 --> 00:38:50.159
 But David

00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:50.880
 uses an

00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:51.340
 incredible

00:38:51.340 --> 00:38:51.920
 word,

00:38:52.500 --> 00:38:53.420
 Hebrew word

00:38:53.420 --> 00:38:53.759
 here,

00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:55.059
 the word

00:38:55.059 --> 00:38:55.480
 create.

00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:56.319
 Think about

00:38:56.319 --> 00:38:56.599
 where that

00:38:56.599 --> 00:38:57.199
 comes from.

00:38:57.199 --> 00:38:58.199
 God

00:38:58.199 --> 00:38:58.919
 created

00:38:58.919 --> 00:39:02.159
 the heavens

00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:02.460
 and the

00:39:02.460 --> 00:39:02.699
 earth.

00:39:02.839 --> 00:39:03.379
 So David

00:39:03.379 --> 00:39:04.059
 is calling

00:39:04.059 --> 00:39:05.619
 upon that

00:39:05.619 --> 00:39:06.379
 same power

00:39:06.379 --> 00:39:06.839
 that created

00:39:06.839 --> 00:39:07.460
 the mountains,

00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:08.179
 the oceans,

00:39:08.419 --> 00:39:09.139
 the universe,

00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:10.879
 everything visible

00:39:10.879 --> 00:39:11.379
 and invisible.

00:39:11.539 --> 00:39:11.839
 He's calling

00:39:11.839 --> 00:39:12.139
 on that

00:39:12.139 --> 00:39:12.899
 omnipotent

00:39:12.899 --> 00:39:14.319
 hand to

00:39:14.319 --> 00:39:15.039
 create and

00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:16.679
 speak to

00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:17.179
 give him a

00:39:17.179 --> 00:39:17.819
 new heart.

00:39:19.019 --> 00:39:19.899
 God can do

00:39:19.899 --> 00:39:20.579
 this by his

00:39:20.579 --> 00:39:21.199
 omnipotent

00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:21.539
 hand.

00:39:21.539 --> 00:39:22.480
 His hand is

00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:22.899
 not so

00:39:22.899 --> 00:39:23.599
 sure that he

00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:24.500
 cannot save.

00:39:24.500 --> 00:39:26.000
 And then

00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:26.900
 thirdly and

00:39:26.900 --> 00:39:27.340
 lastly,

00:39:28.579 --> 00:39:29.460
 another evidence

00:39:29.460 --> 00:39:29.820
 of true

00:39:29.820 --> 00:39:30.539
 repentance is

00:39:30.539 --> 00:39:33.159
 sharing God's

00:39:33.159 --> 00:39:34.980
 mercy and

00:39:34.980 --> 00:39:35.880
 right outward

00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:36.340
 worship.

00:39:37.260 --> 00:39:38.039
 So often

00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:38.619
 when we sin

00:39:38.619 --> 00:39:39.000
 we want to

00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:39.679
 just make

00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:40.059
 amends.

00:39:40.139 --> 00:39:40.380
 We want to

00:39:40.380 --> 00:39:40.960
 do penance

00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:41.340
 which is what

00:39:41.340 --> 00:39:41.719
 the Roman

00:39:41.719 --> 00:39:42.420
 medieval church

00:39:42.420 --> 00:39:42.860
 taught us.

00:39:43.639 --> 00:39:44.099
 I'm sorry

00:39:44.099 --> 00:39:44.760
 God, now I'm

00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:44.960
 going to do

00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:45.239
 a bunch of

00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:45.920
 good things

00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:47.059
 to make

00:39:47.059 --> 00:39:47.840
 amends for

00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:48.900
 what I

00:39:48.900 --> 00:39:49.179
 did.

00:39:50.139 --> 00:39:50.760
 He says

00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:51.519
 this last.

00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:52.039
 This is like

00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:52.619
 after I'm

00:39:52.619 --> 00:39:53.000
 right with

00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:53.440
 you and

00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:53.659
 I have

00:39:53.659 --> 00:39:53.940
 fellowship

00:39:53.940 --> 00:39:54.599
 with you

00:39:54.599 --> 00:39:55.780
 and you

00:39:55.780 --> 00:39:56.059
 and I

00:39:56.059 --> 00:39:56.619
 are well

00:39:56.619 --> 00:39:57.679
 then I

00:39:57.679 --> 00:39:58.000
 will do

00:39:58.000 --> 00:39:58.700
 these things.

00:39:59.760 --> 00:40:00.440
 He says

00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:00.780
 in verse

00:40:00.780 --> 00:40:01.360
 13,

00:40:02.460 --> 00:40:03.139
 then I

00:40:03.139 --> 00:40:03.519
 will teach

00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:04.200
 transgressors

00:40:04.200 --> 00:40:04.619
 your ways

00:40:04.619 --> 00:40:05.039
 and sinners

00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:05.539
 will return

00:40:05.539 --> 00:40:05.960
 to you

00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:07.139
 out of

00:40:07.139 --> 00:40:07.320
 your

00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:07.559
 rud

00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:08.179
 guiltiness

00:40:08.179 --> 00:40:08.880
 O God

00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:09.360
 O God

00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:09.659
 of my

00:40:09.659 --> 00:40:10.179
 salvation

00:40:10.179 --> 00:40:10.519
 and my

00:40:10.519 --> 00:40:10.820
 tongue

00:40:10.820 --> 00:40:11.260
 will sing

00:40:11.260 --> 00:40:11.740
 aloud

00:40:11.740 --> 00:40:12.780
 of your

00:40:12.780 --> 00:40:13.340
 righteousness

00:40:13.340 --> 00:40:14.960
 O Lord

00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:15.500
 open my

00:40:15.500 --> 00:40:16.139
 lips and my

00:40:16.139 --> 00:40:16.679
 mouth and I

00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:17.079
 will declare

00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:17.840
 your praise

00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:20.320
 for you

00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:21.119
 will not

00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:22.880
 deliver

00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:23.039
 me.

00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:23.160
 You

00:40:23.160 --> 00:40:23.700
 will not

00:40:23.700 --> 00:40:24.119
 delight

00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:24.340
 in

00:40:24.340 --> 00:40:25.099
 sacrifice

00:40:25.099 --> 00:40:26.240
 otherwise

00:40:26.240 --> 00:40:26.840
 I

00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:27.000
 would

00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:27.200
 give

00:40:27.200 --> 00:40:27.380
 it.

00:40:28.660 --> 00:40:28.840
 You

00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:28.980
 will

00:40:28.980 --> 00:40:29.119
 not

00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:29.300
 be

00:40:29.300 --> 00:40:29.680
 pleased

00:40:29.680 --> 00:40:29.800
 with

00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:29.900
 the

00:40:29.900 --> 00:40:30.099
 burnt

00:40:30.099 --> 00:40:30.619
 offering.

00:40:31.220 --> 00:40:31.400
 The

00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:32.000
 sacrifices

00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:32.539
 of God

00:40:32.539 --> 00:40:32.820
 are a

00:40:32.820 --> 00:40:33.099
 broken

00:40:33.099 --> 00:40:33.559
 spirit,

00:40:33.660 --> 00:40:33.780
 a

00:40:33.780 --> 00:40:34.119
 broken

00:40:34.119 --> 00:40:34.320
 and

00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:34.780
 contrite

00:40:34.780 --> 00:40:35.119
 heart

00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:35.559
 O God

00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:35.720
 you

00:40:35.720 --> 00:40:35.840
 will

00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:36.019
 not

00:40:36.019 --> 00:40:36.660
 despise.

00:40:37.660 --> 00:40:37.800
 Do

00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:38.160
 go to

00:40:38.160 --> 00:40:38.599
 Zion

00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:39.720
 in your

00:40:39.720 --> 00:40:39.920
 good

00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:40.260
 pleasure.

00:40:40.420 --> 00:40:40.579
 Build

00:40:40.579 --> 00:40:40.920
 up the

00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:41.340
 walls

00:40:41.340 --> 00:40:41.559
 of

00:40:41.559 --> 00:40:42.039
 Jerusalem

00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:42.680
 then

00:40:42.680 --> 00:40:43.500
 you

00:40:43.500 --> 00:40:43.660
 will

00:40:43.660 --> 00:40:44.059
 delight

00:40:44.059 --> 00:40:44.360
 in

00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:44.559
 right

00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:45.260
 sacrifices

00:40:45.260 --> 00:40:45.860
 and in

00:40:45.860 --> 00:40:46.059
 burnt

00:40:46.059 --> 00:40:46.579
 offerings

00:40:46.579 --> 00:40:47.640
 and whole

00:40:47.640 --> 00:40:47.880
 burnt

00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:48.280
 offerings

00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:48.960
 then bulls

00:40:48.960 --> 00:40:49.160
 will be

00:40:49.160 --> 00:40:49.539
 offered

00:40:49.539 --> 00:40:49.980
 on the

00:40:49.980 --> 00:40:50.300
 altar.

00:40:50.300 --> 00:40:51.860
 So again

00:40:51.860 --> 00:40:53.440
 many times

00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:53.900
 in ancient

00:40:53.900 --> 00:40:54.320
 Israel

00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:55.420
 the people

00:40:55.420 --> 00:40:55.800
 would have

00:40:55.800 --> 00:40:56.519
 a daily

00:40:56.519 --> 00:40:57.060
 sinful

00:40:57.060 --> 00:40:57.680
 lifestyle

00:40:57.680 --> 00:40:58.820
 then they

00:40:58.820 --> 00:40:59.120
 would just

00:40:59.120 --> 00:40:59.500
 run to

00:40:59.500 --> 00:40:59.920
 the temple

00:40:59.920 --> 00:41:01.039
 make a

00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:01.660
 sacrifice

00:41:01.660 --> 00:41:02.820
 think they're

00:41:02.820 --> 00:41:03.140
 good

00:41:03.140 --> 00:41:03.620
 go right

00:41:03.620 --> 00:41:04.180
 back out

00:41:04.180 --> 00:41:04.720
 to sinning

00:41:04.720 --> 00:41:05.039
 again.

00:41:05.580 --> 00:41:06.340
 We do the

00:41:06.340 --> 00:41:06.780
 same thing

00:41:06.780 --> 00:41:07.060
 right

00:41:07.060 --> 00:41:07.560
 and just

00:41:07.560 --> 00:41:07.740
 in a

00:41:07.740 --> 00:41:07.940
 different

00:41:07.940 --> 00:41:08.280
 way

00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:08.640
 a lot

00:41:08.640 --> 00:41:09.019
 of people

00:41:09.019 --> 00:41:10.140
 in the

00:41:10.140 --> 00:41:10.380
 church

00:41:10.380 --> 00:41:10.740
 today

00:41:10.739 --> 00:41:12.619
 and he's

00:41:12.619 --> 00:41:12.779
 saying

00:41:12.779 --> 00:41:13.099
 no no

00:41:13.099 --> 00:41:13.199
 no

00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:13.339
 no

00:41:13.339 --> 00:41:13.439
 no

00:41:13.439 --> 00:41:15.019
 he doesn't

00:41:15.019 --> 00:41:15.439
 delight

00:41:15.439 --> 00:41:15.679
 in

00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:16.219
 sacrifice

00:41:16.219 --> 00:41:17.719
 he

00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:18.279
 delights

00:41:18.279 --> 00:41:18.839
 more

00:41:18.839 --> 00:41:19.179
 in the

00:41:19.179 --> 00:41:19.479
 heart

00:41:19.479 --> 00:41:19.839
 of the

00:41:19.839 --> 00:41:20.379
 worshipper

00:41:20.379 --> 00:41:21.879
 right

00:41:21.879 --> 00:41:22.299
 you can't

00:41:22.299 --> 00:41:22.579
 just say

00:41:22.579 --> 00:41:22.959
 well I'm

00:41:22.959 --> 00:41:23.199
 sinning

00:41:23.199 --> 00:41:23.419
 against

00:41:23.419 --> 00:41:23.779
 God

00:41:23.779 --> 00:41:23.979
 so I

00:41:23.979 --> 00:41:24.119
 better

00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:24.379
 go to

00:41:24.379 --> 00:41:24.659
 church

00:41:24.659 --> 00:41:24.919
 more

00:41:24.919 --> 00:41:25.019
 I

00:41:25.019 --> 00:41:25.139
 better

00:41:25.139 --> 00:41:25.399
 share

00:41:25.399 --> 00:41:25.579
 the

00:41:25.579 --> 00:41:25.959
 gospel

00:41:25.959 --> 00:41:27.079
 I'll

00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:27.199
 read

00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:27.399
 my

00:41:27.399 --> 00:41:27.699
 Bible

00:41:27.699 --> 00:41:28.000
 for an

00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:28.219
 extra

00:41:28.219 --> 00:41:28.539
 hour

00:41:28.539 --> 00:41:28.679
 and

00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:28.759
 then

00:41:28.759 --> 00:41:28.919
 I'll

00:41:28.919 --> 00:41:29.319
 fast

00:41:29.319 --> 00:41:29.439
 and

00:41:29.439 --> 00:41:29.579
 then

00:41:29.579 --> 00:41:29.819
 God

00:41:29.819 --> 00:41:29.959
 will

00:41:29.959 --> 00:41:30.119
 be

00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:30.459
 cool

00:41:30.459 --> 00:41:30.659
 with

00:41:30.659 --> 00:41:30.939
 me

00:41:30.939 --> 00:41:31.919
 it's

00:41:31.919 --> 00:41:32.379
 penance

00:41:32.379 --> 00:41:32.699
 again

00:41:32.699 --> 00:41:32.959
 that's

00:41:32.959 --> 00:41:33.299
 penance

00:41:33.299 --> 00:41:33.599
 and not

00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:34.139
 repentance

00:41:34.139 --> 00:41:35.739
 right

00:41:35.739 --> 00:41:36.799
 he said

00:41:36.799 --> 00:41:36.979
 you

00:41:36.979 --> 00:41:37.500
 did not

00:41:37.500 --> 00:41:37.939
 delight

00:41:40.739 --> 00:41:41.099
 God

00:41:41.099 --> 00:41:44.479
 doesn't

00:41:44.479 --> 00:41:44.859
 care

00:41:44.859 --> 00:41:45.379
 at all

00:41:45.379 --> 00:41:46.119
 about

00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:46.459
 that

00:41:46.459 --> 00:41:47.500
 he cares

00:41:47.500 --> 00:41:47.759
 about

00:41:47.759 --> 00:41:47.959
 the

00:41:47.959 --> 00:41:48.259
 heart

00:41:48.259 --> 00:41:48.779
 behind

00:41:48.779 --> 00:41:49.039
 the

00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:49.859
 worshipper

00:41:49.859 --> 00:41:51.359
 so

00:41:51.359 --> 00:41:51.639
 what

00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:51.899
 God

00:41:51.899 --> 00:41:52.359
 truly

00:41:52.359 --> 00:41:52.919
 desires

00:41:52.919 --> 00:41:53.139
 a

00:41:53.139 --> 00:41:53.619
 broken

00:41:53.619 --> 00:41:54.239
 shattered

00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:54.779
 heart

00:41:54.779 --> 00:41:55.719
 over

00:41:55.719 --> 00:41:56.179
 sin

00:41:56.179 --> 00:41:57.119
 that's

00:41:57.119 --> 00:41:57.319
 verse

00:41:57.319 --> 00:41:57.979
 17

00:41:57.979 --> 00:41:58.979
 it's

00:41:58.979 --> 00:41:59.119
 what

00:41:59.119 --> 00:41:59.419
 Jonathan

00:41:59.419 --> 00:41:59.699
 Edwards

00:41:59.699 --> 00:42:00.000
 called

00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:00.159
 a

00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:00.519
 humble

00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:01.059
 broken

00:42:01.059 --> 00:42:01.619
 hearted

00:42:01.619 --> 00:42:02.019
 joy

00:42:02.019 --> 00:42:03.479
 genuine

00:42:03.479 --> 00:42:04.000
 repentance

00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:04.419
 brings

00:42:04.419 --> 00:42:04.639
 about

00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:04.799
 a

00:42:04.799 --> 00:42:05.079
 change

00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:05.199
 in

00:42:05.199 --> 00:42:05.319
 our

00:42:05.319 --> 00:42:05.719
 attitude

00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:06.039
 which

00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:06.279
 brings

00:42:06.279 --> 00:42:06.459
 about

00:42:06.459 --> 00:42:06.619
 a

00:42:06.619 --> 00:42:07.000
 change

00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:07.159
 in

00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:07.339
 our

00:42:07.339 --> 00:42:07.919
 actions

00:42:07.919 --> 00:42:08.779
 and

00:42:08.779 --> 00:42:08.959
 how

00:42:08.959 --> 00:42:09.139
 we

00:42:09.139 --> 00:42:09.559
 live

00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:10.699
 if

00:42:10.699 --> 00:42:10.960
 God

00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:11.340
 truly

00:42:11.340 --> 00:42:11.820
 rules

00:42:11.820 --> 00:42:12.059
 our

00:42:12.059 --> 00:42:12.500
 hearts

00:42:12.500 --> 00:42:12.659
 he

00:42:12.659 --> 00:42:12.840
 will

00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:13.119
 rule

00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:13.440
 over

00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:13.759
 our

00:42:13.759 --> 00:42:14.360
 actions

00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:15.119
 as

00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:15.440
 well

00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:16.659
 if

00:42:16.659 --> 00:42:16.900
 God

00:42:16.900 --> 00:42:17.340
 truly

00:42:17.340 --> 00:42:18.380
 loves

00:42:18.380 --> 00:42:18.619
 us

00:42:18.619 --> 00:42:18.719
 and

00:42:18.719 --> 00:42:18.799
 we

00:42:18.799 --> 00:42:18.900
 will

00:42:18.900 --> 00:42:19.059
 be

00:42:19.059 --> 00:42:19.659
 transformed

00:42:19.659 --> 00:42:20.299
 from

00:42:20.299 --> 00:42:20.440
 the

00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:21.000
 inside

00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:21.519
 out

00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:22.340
 so

00:42:22.340 --> 00:42:22.500
 not

00:42:22.500 --> 00:42:22.719
 just

00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:23.019
 our

00:42:23.019 --> 00:42:23.639
 morality

00:42:23.639 --> 00:42:23.860
 or

00:42:23.860 --> 00:42:24.179
 behavior

00:42:24.179 --> 00:42:24.820
 modification

00:42:24.820 --> 00:42:25.239
 again

00:42:25.239 --> 00:42:25.519
 in

00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:25.920
 here

00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:26.900
 coming

00:42:26.900 --> 00:42:27.340
 out

00:42:27.340 --> 00:42:28.400
 God

00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:28.619
 doesn't

00:42:28.619 --> 00:42:28.840
 just

00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:29.139
 care

00:42:29.139 --> 00:42:29.500
 about

00:42:29.500 --> 00:42:29.799
 what

00:42:29.799 --> 00:42:29.980
 we

00:42:29.980 --> 00:42:30.299
 do

00:42:30.299 --> 00:42:30.480
 but

00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:30.579
 he

00:42:30.579 --> 00:42:30.759
 cares

00:42:30.759 --> 00:42:30.960
 about

00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:31.159
 our

00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:31.699
 motives

00:42:31.699 --> 00:42:31.699


00:42:32.460 --> 00:42:32.619
 our

00:42:32.619 --> 00:42:33.099
 desires

00:42:33.099 --> 00:42:33.599
 behind

00:42:33.599 --> 00:42:33.799
 that

00:42:33.799 --> 00:42:33.900
 are

00:42:33.900 --> 00:42:34.000
 they

00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:34.199
 for

00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:34.500
 him

00:42:34.500 --> 00:42:34.699
 for

00:42:34.699 --> 00:42:34.880
 his

00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:35.320
 glory

00:42:35.320 --> 00:42:36.099
 I

00:42:36.099 --> 00:42:36.239
 have

00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:36.480
 love

00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:36.659
 for

00:42:36.659 --> 00:42:36.980
 him

00:42:36.980 --> 00:42:38.019
 so

00:42:38.019 --> 00:43:08.019
 we

00:43:08.019 --> 00:43:11.579
 cleanse

00:43:11.579 --> 00:43:11.840
 me

00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:12.179
 forgive

00:43:12.179 --> 00:43:12.659
 me

00:43:12.659 --> 00:43:13.619
 you

00:43:13.619 --> 00:43:13.800
 have

00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:13.920
 the

00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:14.139
 power

00:43:14.139 --> 00:43:14.259
 to

00:43:14.259 --> 00:43:14.340
 do

00:43:14.340 --> 00:43:14.460
 that

 David's

 be

00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:01.519
 outraged

00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:01.720
 you would

00:44:01.720 --> 00:44:01.860
 say

00:44:01.860 --> 00:44:02.300
 no

00:44:09.460 --> 00:44:09.700
 not

00:44:09.700 --> 00:44:10.159
 okay

00:44:19.059 --> 00:44:19.340
 we get

00:44:19.340 --> 00:44:19.639
 so

00:44:19.639 --> 00:44:19.960
 mad

00:44:21.019 --> 00:44:22.880
 it's

00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:23.059
 not

00:44:23.059 --> 00:44:23.280

00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:23.440
 with

00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:23.820
 God

00:44:23.820 --> 00:44:25.079
 so

00:44:25.079 --> 00:44:25.239
 how

00:44:25.239 --> 00:44:25.440
 can

00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:25.659
 Nathan

00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:30.420
 this

00:44:30.420 --> 00:44:31.099
 because

00:44:31.099 --> 00:44:31.679
 David

00:44:31.679 --> 00:44:32.019
 knew

00:44:32.019 --> 00:44:32.199
 the

 God

00:44:34.599 --> 00:44:34.719
 will

00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:35.159
 by no

00:44:35.159 --> 00:44:35.699
 means

00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:40.159
 we

00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:40.559
 end

00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:40.860
 look at

00:45:20.980 --> 00:45:21.519
 forward

00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:21.880
 as a

00:45:21.880 --> 00:45:22.680
 propitiation

00:45:22.680 --> 00:45:24.059
 by his

00:45:24.059 --> 00:45:24.480
 blood

00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:24.960
 to be

00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:25.400
 received

00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:26.139
 by faith

00:45:26.139 --> 00:45:27.139
 here's

00:45:27.139 --> 00:45:27.360
 how it

00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:27.780
 ties into

00:45:27.780 --> 00:45:28.180
 David

00:45:28.180 --> 00:45:28.599
 any

00:45:28.599 --> 00:45:29.360
 person

00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:29.680
 in the

00:45:29.680 --> 00:45:29.840
 Old

00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:30.220
 Testament

00:45:30.220 --> 00:45:31.400
 this

00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:31.780
 was to

00:45:31.780 --> 00:45:32.119
 show

00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:32.619
 God's

00:45:32.619 --> 00:45:33.079
 righteousness

00:45:33.079 --> 00:45:33.539
 because

00:45:33.539 --> 00:45:34.000
 in his

00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:34.460
 divine

00:45:34.460 --> 00:45:35.280
 forbearance

00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:36.260
 he passed

00:45:36.260 --> 00:45:36.639
 over

00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:37.160
 former

00:45:37.160 --> 00:45:37.900
 sins

00:45:37.900 --> 00:45:38.960
 it was

00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:39.460
 to show

00:45:39.460 --> 00:45:39.760
 his

00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:40.320
 righteousness

00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:40.760
 at the

00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:41.099
 present

00:45:41.099 --> 00:45:41.639
 time

00:45:41.639 --> 00:45:42.460
 so that

00:45:42.460 --> 00:45:42.599
 he

00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:42.960
 might

00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:43.240
 be

00:45:43.240 --> 00:45:44.099
 just

00:45:44.099 --> 00:45:44.500
 and

00:45:44.500 --> 00:45:44.660
 the

00:45:44.660 --> 00:45:45.280
 justifier

00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:45.579
 of the

00:45:45.579 --> 00:45:45.760
 one

00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:46.040
 who has

00:45:46.040 --> 00:45:46.460
 faith

00:45:46.460 --> 00:45:47.240
 in

00:45:47.240 --> 00:45:47.740
 Christ

00:45:47.740 --> 00:45:48.700
 so

00:45:48.700 --> 00:45:49.040
 God

00:45:49.040 --> 00:45:49.440
 knew

00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:49.720
 that

00:45:49.720 --> 00:45:50.040
 one

00:45:50.040 --> 00:45:50.400
 day

00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:50.600
 he

00:45:50.600 --> 00:45:50.760
 would

00:45:50.760 --> 00:45:51.280
 punish

00:45:51.280 --> 00:45:51.840
 David's

00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:52.140
 sin

00:45:52.140 --> 00:45:53.360
 in

00:45:53.360 --> 00:45:53.680
 the

00:45:54.980 --> 00:45:55.500
 Christ

00:45:55.500 --> 00:45:57.000
 David

00:45:57.000 --> 00:45:58.560
 had

00:45:58.560 --> 00:45:58.960
 fallen

00:45:58.960 --> 00:45:59.280
 and

00:45:59.280 --> 00:45:59.600
 sinned

00:45:59.600 --> 00:46:00.020
 greatly

00:46:00.020 --> 00:46:00.860
 but

00:46:00.860 --> 00:46:01.000
 he

00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:01.320
 had

00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:02.160
 faith

00:46:02.160 --> 00:46:03.080
 that

00:46:03.080 --> 00:46:03.340
 God

00:46:03.340 --> 00:46:03.460
 would

00:46:03.460 --> 00:46:03.700

00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:10.940
 so

00:46:10.940 --> 00:46:11.220
 God

00:46:11.220 --> 00:46:11.860
 punished

00:46:11.860 --> 00:46:12.160
 all

00:46:12.160 --> 00:46:12.420

00:46:18.780 --> 00:46:19.340

00:46:19.340 --> 00:46:20.140
 so

00:46:20.140 --> 00:46:20.440
 David

00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:20.780
 looked

 so

00:46:32.940 --> 00:46:33.060
 in

00:46:33.060 --> 00:46:33.440
 God's

00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:38.320
 righteousness

00:46:38.320 --> 00:46:38.740
 is

00:46:38.740 --> 00:46:39.000
 counted

00:47:18.019 --> 00:47:19.039
 David

00:47:19.039 --> 00:47:19.300
 knew

00:47:19.300 --> 00:47:20.519
 he

00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:20.720
 wouldn't

00:47:20.720 --> 00:47:20.860
 be

00:47:20.860 --> 00:47:21.120
 spared

00:47:21.120 --> 00:47:21.260
 and

00:47:21.260 --> 00:47:21.460
 listen

00:47:21.460 --> 00:47:21.640
 as

00:47:21.640 --> 00:47:21.760
 we

00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:21.940
 look

00:47:21.940 --> 00:47:22.180
 next

00:47:22.180 --> 00:47:22.340
 week

00:47:22.340 --> 00:47:22.480
 we'll

00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:22.680
 see

00:47:22.680 --> 00:47:23.000
 that

00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:23.820
 though

00:47:23.820 --> 00:47:23.980
 he

00:47:23.980 --> 00:47:24.160
 is

00:47:24.160 --> 00:47:24.519
 forgiven

00:47:24.519 --> 00:47:24.940
 he's

00:47:24.940 --> 00:47:25.100
 made

00:47:25.100 --> 00:47:25.300
 right

00:47:25.300 --> 00:47:25.440
 with

00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:25.720
 God

00:47:25.720 --> 00:47:26.000
 he's

00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:26.340
 still

00:47:26.340 --> 00:47:26.660
 going

00:47:26.660 --> 00:47:26.820
 to

00:47:26.820 --> 00:47:26.980
 deal

00:47:26.980 --> 00:47:27.080
 with

00:47:27.080 --> 00:47:27.200
 a

00:47:27.200 --> 00:47:27.440
 lot

00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:27.559
 of

00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:28.180
 consequences

00:47:28.180 --> 00:47:29.140
 in

00:47:29.140 --> 00:47:29.360
 this

00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:29.760
 world

00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:30.140
 because

00:47:30.140 --> 00:47:30.280
 of

00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:30.460
 his

00:47:30.460 --> 00:47:30.760
 sin

00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:31.980
 his

00:47:31.980 --> 00:47:32.340
 family

00:47:32.340 --> 00:47:32.460
 is

00:47:32.460 --> 00:47:32.580
 going

00:47:32.580 --> 00:47:32.620
 to

00:47:32.620 --> 00:47:32.760
 be

00:47:32.760 --> 00:47:32.980
 torn

00:47:32.980 --> 00:47:33.400
 apart

00:47:33.400 --> 00:47:34.480
 he's

00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:34.580
 going

00:47:34.580 --> 00:47:34.700
 to

00:47:34.700 --> 00:47:35.000
 suffer

00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:35.679
 greatly

00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:37.380
 but

00:47:37.380 --> 00:47:37.800
 he's

00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:37.960
 with

00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:38.119
 the

00:47:38.119 --> 00:47:38.420
 Lord

00:47:38.420 --> 00:47:39.019
 today

00:47:39.019 --> 00:47:40.340
 so

00:47:40.340 --> 00:47:40.980
 our

00:47:40.980 --> 00:47:41.639
 Christ

00:47:41.639 --> 00:47:42.380
 the

00:47:42.380 --> 00:47:42.900
 perfect

00:47:42.900 --> 00:47:43.599
 sinless

00:47:43.599 --> 00:47:43.900
 king

00:47:43.900 --> 00:47:44.139
 that's

00:47:44.380 --> 00:47:44.679
 worship

00:47:44.679 --> 00:47:45.960
 so

00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:46.079
 if

00:47:46.079 --> 00:47:46.179
 you

00:47:46.179 --> 00:47:46.380

00:47:47.179 --> 00:47:47.420
 sin

00:47:47.420 --> 00:47:47.539
 if

00:47:47.539 --> 00:47:47.599
 you

00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:47.699
 have

00:47:47.699 --> 00:47:47.960
 something

00:47:47.960 --> 00:47:48.219
 you're

00:47:48.219 --> 00:47:48.639
 wrestling

00:47:48.639 --> 00:47:49.119
 with

00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:50.159
 go

00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:50.360

00:47:50.699 --> 00:47:50.900

00:47:51.380 --> 00:47:51.559
 as

00:47:51.559 --> 00:47:51.699
 a

00:47:51.699 --> 00:47:51.980

00:47:52.900 --> 00:47:53.920

00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:55.400
 and

00:47:55.400 --> 00:47:55.559
 then

00:47:55.559 --> 00:47:55.920
 share

00:47:55.920 --> 00:47:56.420

00:47:58.360 --> 00:47:58.579
 our

00:47:58.579 --> 00:47:58.840
