King David: From Disorder to Order!
Mike Fritscher
Setting Your House in Order – King David, From Disorder to Order!
2 Kings 20:1 In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him and said to him, “Thus says the LORD, `Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.'”
Your Life! Right With God! David’s Fall, Confrontation and Restoration!
I. The Fall! 2 Samuel 11
• The Principle of Location! “ Be Where You Are Supposed to Be!”
• The Principle of Humility! “ If When you sin, and when your sin finds you out, come clean!”
Speak Truth Not Lies!
Confess It!
Never try to Cover it Up!
• The Principle of Increase! “One Sin Not dealt with always leads to more!”
From Lust to Adultery, from Adultery to Deceit, From Deceit to Betrayal, From Betrayal to Murder!
From Temptation to Sin, From Sin to Devastation, From Sin to Guilt and Shame
• The Principle of Collateral Damage! “Sin Is Not Just Personal!”
II. The Confrontation! 2 Samuel 12:1-15
1. Hold God In High Esteem! You Have Caused the Nations to Blaspheme!
2. When Confronted, Agree, Immediately! You Are the Man!
The Fault of Saul! 1 Samuel 15:12-24
3. Suffer the Consequences!
III. The Restoration! Psalm 51
Confession, Godly Sorrow, Brokenness, Repentance, Knowing What God Desires, Proper Appeals and Requests, Anticipation of a Renewed Ministry!
Psalm 103
Bless the LORD, O my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, We forget none of Your benefits;
You pardon all our iniquities,
You heal all your diseases;
You redeem my life from the pit, You crowns me with lovingkindness and compassion ;
You satisfies our years with good things,
So that My youth is renewed like the eagle.
The LORD performs righteous deeds and judgments for all who are oppressed.
You made known Your ways to Moses, Your acts to the sons of Israel.
LORD You are compassionate and gracious , Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.
You Have not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is Your lovingkindness toward us who fear Him.
As far as the east is from the west, So far have you removed our transgressions from us.
Just as a father has compassion on his children, So You O LORD have compassion on those who fear Him.
For You knows our frame; You are mindful that we are but dust.
As for Us, our days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so we flourish. But tomorrow we are gone!
The lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him,
His righteousness extends to children’s children,
Bless the LORD, you His angels,
Mighty in strength, who perform His word,
Obeying the voice of His word!
Bless the LORD, all you His hosts,
Bless the LORD, all you works of His
Bless the LORD,
O my soul and all that is within me,
Bless His Holy Name!
