You Are the Man, Hearer!: the Aggravated Heinousness of Christians' Sins (Family Worship Lesson in 2Samuel 12:1–14)

What if the Scripture is using with us the tactic that Nathan is using with David? Pastor leads his family in today’s “Hopewell @Home” passage. 2Samuel 12:1–14 prepares us for the first of the two serial readings in the public worship on the coming Lord’s Day. In these fourteen verses of Sacred Scripture, we find that like David, we are quicker to condemn than to confess. And we find that the reasoning by which Yahweh declares the heinousness of David's sins would be valid reasoning for the aggravated/heightened heinousness of our sins as Christian believers.
