Enjoy the message. Let's look at four scriptures just to show you the fact that there were

lots of people in the Bible that dealt with a guilty conscience. And as a text today,

I'm going to use four scriptures or four areas of the Bible to show you this. First of all,

Genesis chapter 42 and 21, Genesis 42 and 21, and he says, and they said one to another,

1 Samuel 24 5 through 6 in the NLT. And in 1 Samuel here, you see David here and verse 5 he says,
