Self-inflicted struggles

In this deeply convicting message, Mr. Dave Baum unpacks the story of David’s fall in 2 Samuel 11-12 to remind us that some of the hardest battles we face are the ones we bring upon ourselves. David's story isn’t just about sin; it’s about how our own choices can become the source of our deepest struggles. What began with a moment of idleness and a lingering look turned into a series of self-inflicted wounds, deceit, abuse of power, and ultimately, devastating loss.

But this sermon doesn’t stop at guilt; it leads us to grace. Through David’s raw repentance in Psalm 51, we see that while our actions carry consequences, God’s mercy is still available. Mr. Baum challenges us to confront the areas in our lives where compromise has taken root, to seek accountability, and to remember that repentance is the first step toward restoration.
