Learning from the Sins of King David

What was I thinking? How did I let this happen? We usually ask these questions when a choice we make leads to unwanted consequences. In the biblical story of David and Bathsheba, we find a sobering reminder of the destructive power of sin and our deep need for God’s grace. In his complacency and desperation, David compounds sin upon sin in a series of unsuccessful attempts to use his power as king to cover up his wrongdoing. Our study of David’s fall and the consequences of his actions illuminates our path toward honesty, repentance, and a life that pleases the Lord. Ultimately, we’ll discover hope that only God can provide. 

Studying David’s fall from grace, the consequences of his actions, and his journey illuminates our own path toward honesty, repentance, and a life that pleases the Lord.
