What was your big “take-away” from this passage / message?
How do you know what is God's direct hands-on discipline and what are “natural consequences” for our sin? Can we know? Does it matter?
Why is David's sin described as “despising the Word of the Lord” (2 Sam 12:9)? In what way does our sin amount to “hating God's Word”?
List some “permanent damages” sexual sin can bring on a person and their families (2 Sam 12:10).
Why did the innocent baby have to die for David's sin (v14)? What is God's purpose in afflicting the baby (see all of 2 Sam 12:15)?
