Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ

In our last lesson we looked at what to do when you let down God. David has let God down with his sinning and is paying the severe consequences for his sins. But we have seen David’s humble response by willingly accepting his sin and accepting the consequences. He does not say that the consequences […]

You have probably experienced this yourself. I have been to a number of funerals and what is sad about the funeral is what people remember about the person. Their whole life is remembered because of some hobby they had in their life. It is interesting to think about how you will be remembered. What will […]

David has let God down with catastrophic sinning as king over Israel.
