Sermon Notes

This week, we unpack one of the most sobering moments in David’s life—when the prophet Nathan confronts him in 2 Samuel 12.

God didn’t remain silent in David’s sin. Instead, He sent a word—a prophetic parable—to pierce the heart and invite repentance. Nathan’s confrontation wasn’t to condemn, but to call David back to the mercy of God.

In this message, we see how God's love exposes and restores.

In this teaching you’ll learn:

• How God uses prophetic truth to confront us in love
• Why exposure is not rejection, but mercy in disguise
• What true repentance looks like—and how God responds

  Scripture: 2 Samuel 12:1–14 Theme: God confronts not to shame, but to restore and redeem

Sermon Notes

David searched for Mephibosheth—not to punish him, but to show him hesed (covenant kindness).

He restored what was lost

He gave him a seat at the table

He lifted him out of shame

Mephibosheth’s story is our story. And what David did in part, Jesus has done in full.

2 Samuel 9:1–13

Sermon Notes

His leadership didn’t start when he got the crown. It started when he was anointed.

We were reminded that the real shift in our lives doesn’t come from a title, it comes from the Holy Spirit.

The same Spirit that filled David... now fills us.
