The David Generation Part II
Clutch Student Ministries Pastor Jordan Biel Rock of Grace A/G 01.25.2006
David set up a tent and placed the Ark of God there and people could
come and go as they pleased
– worship God and be in His presence.
The
David Generation is not afraid to Repent like David
did, Dance like David did, & Worship like David did.
David
wasn’t afraid or too prideful to repent when he messed up.
The book of Psalms is full of David expressing
his heart to God- admitting his mistakes and failures & repenting
–
asking God to forgive him.
David
had a relationship with God. A real,
honest, down to earth, non-religious, relationship with God
David had a deep passion to know God
intimately!
Ps 27:4-6 “The one thing I want from God, the
thing I seek most of all, is the privilege of meditating in his
living in his presence every day of my
life, delighting in his incomparable perfections and glory. 5 There I'll be
when
troubles come. He will hide me. He will
set me on a high rock 6 out of reach of all my enemies. Then I will bring him
sacrifices and sing his praises with much
joy.” TLB
What’s the One Thing you want from God

a time:

Even when > his
family abandoned him as a kid
Ø

Ø
He was king
and his wife ridiculed him and mocked him for praising God when he brought the
back to
Ø
his son, Amnon, raped his
half-sister, Tamar, started a big mess…
Ø
his son, Absolom Amnon,
then started a rebellion and war against David.
David’s Fall
2
Sam. 11 – 12:20
We have to know that what we do in life has consequences.
Gal
6:7-10 “Don't
be misled; remember that you can't ignore God and get away with it: a man will
always
reap
just the kind of crop he sows! 8 If he sows to please his own wrong desires, he
will be planting seeds
of
evil and he will surely reap a harvest of spiritual decay and death; but if he
plants the good things of the
Spirit,
he will reap the everlasting life that the Holy Spirit gives him. 9 And let us
not get tired of doing what
is
right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't get
discouraged and give up. 10 That's
why
whenever we can we should always be kind to everyone, and especially to our
Christian brothers.” TLB
