July 26 2026 Worship Service "Mirror, Mirror on the Wall"

Worship Service, July 26, 2026

Sermon Series: "Pondering the Parables"

Sermon: “Mirror, Mirror on the Wall”

Scripture: 2 Samuel 12:1-13a

Rev. Dr. Peter Moon

The story of Nathan and David is fascinating. David has sinned with Bathsheba. In this event, he has violated at least six of the Ten Commandments. Even so, he doesn’t get it. He doesn’t see anything wrong. Nathan sneaks in a parable that makes its way into David’s soul, and suddenly, David understands. It is about him, in the worst sense. He must own his sin. How easily we can do the same thing? We are chronically good at deflecting spiritual and moral responsibility for our own actions. However, one of the gifts of knowing Jesus is that we can, in humility, recognize our shortcomings and find grace and forgiveness. The pain of David points us to take hold of the grace available to us in Jesus.
