"David, David, David" - 8.4.2024 Sunday Worship Service

  • First Congregational Church of Bakersfield-UCC 5 Real Road Bakersfield, CA, 93309 United States (map)

Join us this Sunday for a thought-provoking worship service featuring Rev. Nancy Bacon's sermon titled "David, David, David." She will explore the rich and challenging narrative of 2 Samuel 11:26-12:13a, shedding light on its relevance to our lives today.

This scripture passage highlights a pivotal moment in King David's life when the prophet Nathan bravely confronts him about his serious misdeeds—committing adultery with Bathsheba and ensuring her husband Uriah's demise. This ancient account serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences of our actions and the importance of seeking redemption.

In today's world, we are often faced with difficult decisions and moral challenges. Rev. Bacon will draw parallels between David's story and our own lives, encouraging us to reflect on how we handle our own shortcomings and the steps we take toward forgiveness and reconciliation. Her sermon promises to offer deep insights and practical wisdom for navigating the complexities of modern life with integrity and grace.
