David and God’s Word, Pt. 2

David was a biblical hero, a mighty leader, and the only person described as ‘A man after God’s own heart.’  But just like all great men, David wasn’t perfect. Pastor John Munro begins a lesson on a terrible sin which David almost committed. But what stopped him? And what lessons can we learn?

Sometimes, when we’re treated unfairly, our first instinct is to strike out and get revenge. We want to take matters into our own hands.

David and Jonathan, Pt. 2
