David's Sin and Mt. Moriah

Summary

The sermon explores the complex and difficult-to-understand aspects of God's sovereignty, particularly focusing on 2 Samuel 24 where David is moved by God to conduct a census, which is considered sinful. The preacher acknowledges the tension between God's control and human sinfulness, using examples from Job, Ahab, Joseph, and the crucifixion of Jesus to illustrate how God can use evil actions for His greater purposes. The message emphasizes humility in the face of God's inscrutable will and warns against judging God or trying to fully explain His ways. Ultimately, the sermon calls for worship and trust in God's righteousness and mercy despite the mysteries.
