Each had their own challenges and gifts. The need for faithful leadership continues today and we seek wisdom from how these leaders sought the welfare of their people and showed their devotion to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This week\u2019s lesson is the teaching of David\u2019s poor judgment from last week\u2019s appointed text \u2013 taking Bathsheba as his own and sending Her husband to die in battle. We do not need to go into detail regarding this particular account of David\u2019s foolishness. But we can still hear Nathan\u2019s parable and understand that even the great King David made mistakes and acted in his own interest instead of being faithful to God and the people in his care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><style>.kadence-column3492649_5f67e9-8b >
