“The Scandal”

CHAIRMAN: CECIL MAR
SPEAKER: PASTOR ANDY TSE
SCRIPTURES: 2 Samuel 11-12

Sermon Notes:

• The Crime (11:1-5)
• The Cover-Up (11:6-27)
• The Confrontation (12:1-9)
• The Consequence (12:10-23)

   

Discussion Questions:

1. Like David, we are sometimes enticed by our own desires. What are some things that entice you to sin? How can someone respond well in these situations?
2. The truth that God is just and won’t sweep things under the rug. Is that a comfort to you or a warning? Why?
3. Knowing that God forgives the worst of sinners, how can we respond to him?
