David’s Big Mistake

Watch the video above and talk about it with your family. Learn more

David lost focus on God and it caused him to make a huge mistake.

Key Points:

  • David became a powerful and popular king in Israel.
  • When we don’t stay focused on God, it’s easy to make a big mistake.
  • David tried to hide his mistake, but Nathan called him out. 2 Samuel 12:1-9
  • God forgives our mistakes, and he wants us to admit we’re wrong.

Memory Verse:

Psalm 51:7 Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Talk About It
  1. What’s your favorite part of the video? What’s one thing you learned from it?
  2. Share a time you made a big mistake. What were the consequences for that mistake? (forgot to study for a spelling test or gossiped about a friend and they found out). 
  3. Why was David considered a good king? Who was really behind David’s success?
  4. Who came to call out David for his big mistake? How did David respond once he realized he had messed up?
  5. Read Psalm 103:8-12. What does this passage say about how God responds to our mistakes?
  6. How will you apply this lesson to your life this week?
