Temptation is everywhere and we've all fallen victim. All have sinned and fallen short.

But Pastor Greg Laurie has some important words for those who fallen into a pattern of sin.

You know, it's amazing how people rationalize bad behavior,

how they rationalize sinful choices. And sometimes I'll say, well, it was more than I could handle.

The devil made me do it. The devil can't make you do anything you don't want to do.

This is the day when the lost are found. This is the day for a moment again.

Always in grace, have we come strong?

Again, you can't allow me, I just wanna see you.

This is the day when life begins.

Currently here on a new beginning, Pastor Greg Laurie is presenting a fascinating series called House of David.

We're following the life of David through ups and downs, challenges and victories.

And today, we come upon a well-known story in Second Samuel.

It's full of insight about the danger of sin, but thankfully also encouragement about the grace of God.

It's full strength medicine for those who've suffered the sickness of sin.

And are wondering if there's a way out of the mess therein.

We'll hear before us now in our series, House of David, is a story of a man who desperately needed

forgiveness. At the beginning of this series, I pointed out them when you say the name David,

two other names come to mind. David and Goliath and David Ann, that's it, David and Bashiba.
