David

David is arguably one of the most well known heroes in Scripture. By faith he battled the enemy on the front lines of many wars and was victorious. However, he was not perfect. Though he battled sin, his heart was devoted to God. Join us for session twenty as we look at David's faith and learn from his example what the posture of our hearts toward God should be.

Discussion Questions:

1. What is conviction and what is the purpose of it in a believer's life? How is it different from condemnation? (2 Corinthians 7:9, Romans 2:4, and Romans 8:1)

2. What is repentance, and how does it act? (Matthew 3:8, Acts 26:20, 2 Corinthians 7:9-10)

3. What does it mean that David was a man after God's heart? What does it look like today to have a heart that is devoted to the Lord?

4. We all have "goliaths," or battles that we face in life. What is your "goliath?" What does it look like to lean on God's strength rather than our own in battle?

5. David fought many enemies in his life. How do we see him trust the Lord (and not his own hand) for deliverance? It is easy to talk about entrusting our enemies to the Lord and sometimes difficult to actually do? Why is this?
