How Lust Defeated David

Summary: This episode begins our October series on the battles men fight and begins with the temptation that survey’s reveal is at the top of men’s temptations—overcoming lust and if married directing their sexual desires totally towards the wife of their youth. We study David’s fall and the lessons we can take away from this biblical example.

For Further Prayerful Thought:  

1. How is the story of the weasel taking down the eagle similar to lust’s takedown of David?
2. What are the outer conditions and inner conditions when sinful sexual lust is most appealing to you?
3. How would you summarize the price tag of David’s sexual sin?
4. How is David an example of letting his failure drive him TO God and not AWAY from God. (You might want to look at Psalm 51—written after David was confronted by Nathan.)
