As LUC Would Have It 2025 #49 - David & Bathsheba: Not A Love Story - Mel Grouse
Welcome, friends, to the next episode in our series titled Back 2 School: Children’s Bible Stories for Radical Disciples. In this series we are looking back at all those stories we heard as children and revisiting them with a radical heart.
In this episode, Mel Grouse unpacks the deeply problematic elements of the story of David and Bathsheba, as well as how the Church has grossly rose-tinted this story as a romance.
This sermon was delivered on the 21st September 2025 at the 6:30pm service.
