About this sermon

One of the greatest truths I have learned in the Christian life is that there are real, practical things that I can do to turn down the knob of temptation UP or DOWN. You see, some of you are unintentionally doing things that turn up the knob of temptation so high… it seems irresistible. Today, I’m going to show you NOT how to eliminate temptation entirely… that’s impossible this side of Heaven, but I am going to show how to weaken it so that you are able to resist. To do this we are going to look at the worst day in the life of King David and reverse engineer it. Chapter 11 is going to mark a terrible turning point in the life of King David. It all begins with one decision that resulted from one unbearable temptation.
