October 23, 2022, Pentecost 20: ”Actions Matter”

Long after Joshua's charge to the Israelites at Shechem, God made good on the promise to make God's people prosper. The tribes were united. King David was at the height of his powers. Yet, David was soon to throw not only himself, but the people into trouble and turmoil. Where did David go wrong? What warning is there to the church today? And where is God's grace in terrible situations? Pastor David preaches, "Actions Matter", based on 2 Samuel 11 and 12 and Matthew 5:27-30. Content warning: The reading and sermon acknowledge the reality of sexual assault.
