Contrasting Confessions – Saul and David

Speaker:
Passage: 1 Samuel 15; Psalm 51
Service Type:
  • Speaker: Bryant Bailles
  • Summary: Confessing sin is uncomfortable, and it is so easy to neglect or resist doing it when it is most needed. And, in 1 John 1:9, we are told that confessing our sins is always a necessary part of a working relationship with God. But what does genuine confession look like? In this lesson, we study a contrast between how Saul confessed sin in 1 Samuel 15 without a changed heart and how David confessed sin in Psalm 51 with a broken and contrite heart.
  • Passages: 1 Samuel 15; Psalm 51; 1 John 1:9
