Big Idea: David is the best king Israel can hope for, but he still fails to resist the allure of sin.

            1 Samuel 16:7

David succeeds when he makes everything about God.

            1 Samuel 16:10-11

            1 Samuel 17:45-47

            1 Samuel 26:9-11a

David fails when everything becomes about him.

            2 Samuel 11:2-4

            Genesis 3:6

            2 Samuel 11:4—17 and 26-27

God brings unexpected good out of even our biggest failures.
