Becoming- Honest
Two acts-
ACT I
The sinful act
2 Samuel 11
Defining sin – Sin is when we take something that was made to be a blessing and experience it outside of how God intended.
Genesis 3 – Good for food, pleasant to the eyes, desirable to make you one wise
Matthew 4 – Command stone to become bread, all will be yours, test God
1 John 2 – Bodily lust, lust from what we see, pride
The consequence of sin-
Guilt – loss of innocence & fear
Corruption – loss of security and purpose
Death – loss of life spiritually and physically
ACT II
The act of honesty
2 Samuel 12:1-13a
The act of becoming honest is the first step in dealing with your sin and living through it's consequences.

Great sermon sunday Travis. There were a lot of thought provoking things that you pulled from that story that I had never thought of especially the part about sinning against God and how we as all Christians do that. I had heard that to God all sins are equal and that sin is sin. Whether I murder someone or gossip about them that is sin against God and he doesn't have a scale saying, That was really bad Patty on a scale of one to ten I give that a 2 so you are better than Sally who has a sin at level 9. In God's eyes it doesn't matter. When we live outside of His will we are sinning period.
