Presentation transcript:

 On Sept. 3, 2009, a nationally televised game was played between the University of Oregon and Boise State University.  A player for Oregon, named LeGarrette Blount was upset with his individual and team’s performance that night.  An ugly incident happened in which Blount responded to taunting by hitting some Boise State players.

 Blount was suspended for most of the season but as a result of his remorseful response to his action he was reinstated and allowed to play in the last game, in which he scored a touchdown.  He expressed his thankfulness to his coach for showing that he “cares enough to offer me this second chance.”

 Blount understood the value of a second chance.  Every Christian should also understand this.  Christians are blessed in obedience to the gospel to receive a second chance from God.

8 For You have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling. 9 I will walk before the Lord In the land of the living. 10 I believed, therefore I spoke, “I am greatly afflicted.”

11 I said in my haste, “All men are liars.” 12 What shall I render to the Lord For all His benefits toward me? 13 I will take up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the Lord. 14 I will pay my vows to the Lord Now in the presence of all His people.

1. “I will walk before the Lord” (v. 9).  One of the first things that David vowed to do with his second chance was to walk before the Lord.  This involved purposing in his heart that he would live right before God.  His second chance renewed his resolve and strengthened his commitment to serve God.

1. “I will walk before the Lord” (v. 9).  God told Abram “walk before Me and be blameless” (Gen. 17:1-6).  The idea of walking before God is living right before His eyes (Col. 1:9-11).  That’s what being a Christian is all about!  That’s what having a second chance is all about!

I. “I will walk before the Lord” (v. 9).  Paul’s question: “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” (Rom. 6:1).  Paul’s answer: “Certainly not!” (Rom. 6:2).  When you are given a second chance you don’t do what you did before (2 Cor. 5:17).

1I. “I will take up the cup of salvation” (v. 13).  Some think this may refer to a public proclamation of thankfulness to God.  This was his response on another occasion (Psa. 51:12-13).  That was what Jesus called the apostles to do (Matt. 28:19-20).

1I. “I will take up the cup of salvation” (v. 13).  Many in Scripture who were healed rushed to tell others what had happened.  Jeremiah couldn’t stop speaking about God (Jer. 20:9).  Paul couldn’t stop preaching the gospel (1 Cor. 9:16 ).

1I. “I will take up the cup of salvation” (v. 13).  When we are given a second chance that changes our eternal destiny we ought to want to tell everyone we can about it.  It is an opportunity that is extended to all who will take it (Matt. 11:28-29).  Those who have been given a second chance should offer others that same chance.

1II. “I will pay my vows to the Lord” (v. 14).  David was intent on being a man of his word.  Obedience to the gospel is a vow—it is a covenant with God (Heb. 8:8-12).  When a vow is made to the Lord we had better keep it (Ecc. 5:1-6).  Jesus teaches us to keep our word (Matt. 5:33- 37)—The response due a second chance.
