Narrate the story of David's sin against Uriah

Samuel 11: 1 -27;
12: 1 – 15:  

• During the war with theAmmorites, David did not go
  to war. 
• He was strolling on the top of his roof and saw a beautiful woman
  having her bath, 
• David inquired about her and he was told that she was
  Bath-Sheba, (daughter of Eliam). 
• The wife of Uriah, the Hittite. 
• David
  sent for her and slept with her. 
• She went home and later informed David
  that she was pregnant, 
• David invited the husband from the battlefield to
  sleep with Bath-Sheba. 
• But Uriah refused saying that it was against
  Isralite custom to leave the battlefield when the war was in progress, 
• As
  a result, he was sent to the hottest part in the war front. 
• And Uriah was
  killed, 
• After Bath-Sheba had mourned her late husband, David brought her
  into his house and married her. 
• Prophet Nathan condemned the attitude of
  David through a parable, 
• He told him about God’s punishment. 
• David
  regretted his actions, repented and confessed his guilt, 
• God forgave him.

Two lessons Christians can learn from this incident:  

1. Christians should avoid adultery, 
2. Sin attracts punishment, 
3. Sin
   causes separation between man and God. 
4. When Christians acknowledge their
   guilt and repent, there is always an avenue for forgiveness, 
5. A Christian
   should not kill or covet his/her neighbour’s things, 
6. A Christian should be
   patriotic/loyal, 
7. Nothing is hidden from God.
