We are in a series called “Legends of the Fall,” which is all about the “bad” people or the “bad” stories in the bible and how it relates to who we are. We tend to want to look at “bad” guys in a story and say “that could never be me because I’m really a good person,” but we are exactly like those bad guys. Today we look at an incestual story of rape; we look at Amnon. It is important to remember that the story of Amnon immediately follows the story of David and Bathsheba. Even though God forgives David for his sin, there is still a price that get’s paid (not to God, but when we model bad behavior to our kids). The prophet Nathan in 2 Sam 12:10-12 warned David of what was going to happen for not leaving a proper legacy for his children. David’s sin of sexual abuse now its way directly into his family. We have a tendency to think that our sin only affects us, but it does not, sin permeates all aspects of our life and community.

From Series: "Legends Of The Fall"

We spent twelve weeks during the summer going through a series called Coloring Book All Stars, about the heroes you would find in children's bible coloring books. Legends of the fall is the inversion, the negative, of that. Legends of the Fall is a time where we will look at the bad guys, the non-hero's, found in the Scriptures. Every once in a while you may find them in the coloring book, but not always in a positive light (and that is probably a good thing). We will look at how, even with all of their flaws and scars, they resemble us. We will also look at how Jesus has rescued us, by His grace, from the fall.
