David returns to shepherding

Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian conclude their study of David by confronting the truth that forgiveness does not erase consequences. They trace how unaddressed sin and lingering guilt created a leadership vacuum that fractured David’s family, fueled rebellion, and led to civil war and the death of thousands. The guys show how private sin inevitably becomes public and why silence after repentance can be as destructive as the original failure. They close by pointing to Jesus as the true Shepherd-King who restores what sin deforms and leads with justice and mercy.
