How The Mighty Have Fallen
DAVID | Part 10
Disastrous decisions often never just "happen." More often than not, the most destructive decisions we make in our lives are built on a series of smaller, less damaging choices. How do we pursue better choices that lead to a life well spent instead of just...spent?

Listen:
“Small bad choices often lead to big bad decisions.”
Scripture:
2 Samuel 11:1-6
In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem.
One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. (Now she was purifying herself from her monthly uncleanness.) Then she went back home. The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, “I am pregnant.”
So David sent this word to Joab: “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent him to David.
