Where Is God in the Mess of Sin?

Jul 28, 2024  •  The Rev. William Stokes

What was David doing lounging on that roof while his armies fought? Rev. Stokes follows 2 Samuel 11 from idleness to lust, adultery, deception and murder, then gives Bathsheba and Uriah the Hittite their names and dignity, showing how sin both drags us deeper and traps the innocent in broken systems. The answer to where God is in such a mess is the cross, and the baptismal turn to Jesus as Savior and Lord.
