Warm-Up for Sunday: Warm-Up for Sunday: They say that success breeds success. Do you think that’s always true? In many cases success breeds pride and pride oftentimes leads to destruction. That was true with Saul but it also manifested itself in David’s reign as king. David is heralded as the greatest king of Israel, but what about his personal life? Join us this Sunday as we review his reign as king, his role as husband to over 8 wives and as father to 20 children. Perhaps, we will see how the pursuit of personal success often leads to relational failure. Yet, to David’s credit, he recognized his accountability before God when confronted about his failure. That was David’s saving grace! It is ours as well.
