In this sermon, the preacher discusses the story of David and Bathsheba from the Bible. David, while casually observing the sunset, sees Bathsheba and is immediately tempted by her beauty. He gives in to this temptation and commits adultery with her. The preacher emphasizes that our society is also plagued by sexual immorality and greed. However, the sermon also highlights the importance of repentance and God's forgiveness, as David eventually repents and is restored by God. The preacher warns the audience to be aware of the dangers of temptation and to turn to God for forgiveness and restoration.

In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes that God sees and knows everything about us, including our thoughts and actions. Sin is taken very seriously by God, and it will always be dealt with and punished. The preacher uses the example of David's sin in 2 Samuel to illustrate how even a wise and intelligent person can be blinded by sin. The sermon concludes by emphasizing that there is only one way to heaven, through the Lord Jesus, and that sin will always be exposed and punished.
