Unit 11 Session 4
DAVID, THE FAILED KING
2 SAMUEL 11-12 ; PSALM 51
God is gracious to forgive even the greatest of evil when a sinner repents.
If you love King David's victorious story, now might be the time to put down your Bible (but don't!). Though he was chosen of God, mighty in battle, patient in faith, and merciful to the needy (see 2 Sam. 9), he was in no way perfect. And though David was at the peak of his power, it took only one sinful decision to watch his reputation, family, and respect fall like a house of cards. Like a lion watching his prey from afar, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, Satan had chosen his strategy carefully. And it worked.
Points to consider:
✞ Temptation leads to sin and death.
* What steps should we take to minimize
our exposure to temptation and sin?
✞ Sin leads to confrontation and judgment.
* Why do you think we are prone to be
angry about the sins of others while
overlooking our own sins?
✞ Repentance leads to grace and forgiveness.
* What are some ways people mistakenly
hope to justify themselves before God?
* How should we respond to the God Who
is faithful to forgive when His people
repent?
