Keep Your SUDs in the Bucket (Lesson three)



This is lesson three of a five part series about experiencing forgiveness and restoration.

Noah, Abraham, Moses, Solomon and Peter all have something in common.
They all made seemingly unimportant decisions or SUDs, which ended up allowing sin into their lives. 

If you have been a Christian for any length of time, you probably can go ahead and add your name to the list, because you have not kept your SUD’s in the bucket.

2 Samuel 11:14-17 NASB
(14)  Now in the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
(15)  He had written in the letter, saying, "Place Uriah in the front line of the fiercest battle and withdraw from him, so that he may be struck down and die."
(16)  So it was as Joab kept watch on the city, that he put Uriah at the place where he knew there were valiant men.
(17)  The men of the city went out and fought against Joab, and some of the people among David's servants fell; and Uriah the Hittite also died.

Covering sin is destructive.  David had taken Bathsheba and she was pregnant.  It is at this point David devised a plan.  He said, “Hey I’ll just bring Uriah home and let him spend the night with her, no one will ever know”.

Do we try to transfer our sins?

David never dreamed Uriah would be so loyal.  He must have thought, enough of this I will just send him to front lines and have him killed in battle.

Sin can cause us to destroy others.

And don’t forget this all started with …

Seemingly unimportant decisions or SUDs
