In this sermon The Matter of Uriah, when we allow sin in our relationship with God, other things die too. When the light of Uriah’s life was snuffed out, the servants that were with him died too.   When Uriah died, there existed a death of conviction. So crucial that spiritual leaders be marked with a prevailing sense of integrity, character, and transparency.  The summons to prayer for repentance, commitment to the call  God placed in our lives, and for a hedge to be placed around us.
