Seven churches once stood in what is now Turkey—churches important enough to get personal words from Jesus Himself.

David was out of hope and had nowhere else to turn. He went before God and confessed his sin through guilt-ridden tears. God not only forgave him, but used a child, born of Bathsheba, and put them in the genealogy of Jesus Christ.

After his affair with Bathsheba, the murder of Uriah, and the death of the child that was conceived during the affair, King David acknowledged his sin, sought forgiveness, and found restoration with God. This same forgiveness and restoration is available to anyone today.
