David: The Broken King
from All Saints Hampton · host John Winterburn
In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem.One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. (Now she was purifying herself from her monthly uncleanness.) Then she went back home. The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, “I am pregnant.”- 2 Samuel 11:1-5

What this episode covers
In the final talk looking at some of the first few people in Jesus' family tree, Hannah reflects on how we all fall short, and the idea that our 'smallest' sin no less wrong than David's actions of rape, adultery and murder. The good news though is that for all sin, Jesus offers forgiveness.
