magnified: The life of david | Week four
Click here for YouVersion
Scripture (ESV):
2 Samuel 11:1-5
Job 31:1 (NLT)
Genesis 2:24
2 Samuel 11:9-11
Psalm 51:1-4
1 Kings 15:5
2 Corinthians 5:17
Teaching Notes:
- David’s downfall began when he became more focused on his desires than on God’s desires.
- Although we are tempted to hide sins in the dark, healing happens in the light.
- When we fail to address our past, other people pay the price.
Reflection Questions:
1. Why is it so easy for us to live to please ourselves instead of living to please God? What steps can we take to focus more on God’s desires than on our desires?
2. Why is it so important to have an accountability partner or group? If you don’t have that setup, who could you ask to begin meeting together for accountability?
3. What stops us from bringing our sins into the light? How can that change?
4. What from your past do you need to address so others don’t pay the price?
5. What does it mean to become a new creation? How does it change your life?
