When we look at what brought David down—not his affair with Bathsheba, not his murder of Uriah, but something that preceded all of it—we see a pattern that matters deeply. The Bible opens 2 Samuel 11 with a verse most people miss entirely. It's the foundation that set up every dominoes that fell.
In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king's men... but David remained in Jerusalem.
This one decision created the space for everything else. If David had not made this choice, none of the other failures would have happened.
Sloth isn't simply physical idleness. The ancient desert fathers understood it as spiritual apathy—a neglect of your duties to God and others, or a failure to engage with your life's purpose. It's a willful disinterest in the good you're supposed to do. It's not bothering to care when caring matters.
This matters because some of you are in a season where you're struggling with sin, temptation, and foolishness that could wreck your life. The only reason there was space in David's life to lust, commit adultery, murder his friend, lose God's anointing, and destroy his family was because he created that space through sloth.
Sloth will distract you. When you sit down to pray, your mind wanders. When you open your Bible, suddenly every to-do list item in the world appears in your mind. The devil doesn't have to destroy you—if he can distract you, that's enough.
Sloth will divert you. David's inner traits that made him a great king didn't disappear when he stayed back from battle; they just got channeled in a different direction. He traded one kind of conquest for another. The devil takes your energy, your drive, your passion, and redirects it away from redemptive purposes toward sinful ones.
Here's what many people misunderstand: sloth isn't always inactivity. Sometimes sloth looks like running a thousand miles per hour in the wrong direction.
Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly. (1 Corinthians 9)
Not every open door in life is from God. Satan opens doors too. Just because a door is open doesn't mean it's from God. You must master the ability to say a thousand nos to God's yes.
Sloth will discourage you. Once you commit to living a life of consequence, purpose, and consecration to God, sloth immediately whispers that faithfulness is boring, that you're missing out on what would actually make life fun. But consider this: if money, success, and status actually made people happy, then New York City and Hollywood would be full of the happiest people in America.
God designed you to work. In Genesis, God created work before sin entered the world—it's a good thing. But we live in a fallen world where nothing works perfectly anymore. Work is good, but it's going to be hard sometimes. Satan uses that difficulty to distract you from what really matters.
When work gets hard, level-set your expectations. You live in a world where things break, employees are irresponsible, bosses can be difficult, and plans are never perfect. This is normal.
Do not grow weary in doing good, for at the right time we will reap a reward if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9)
Don't get discouraged. Just because something is hard doesn't mean it's not from the Father.
If you're really young, your primary temptation will be to scroll your way away from progress in the calling God has given you. The people who stay focused in their twenties and thirties do amazing things in their forties, fifties, and sixties. Work hard and don't get discouraged.
If you're middle-aged like me—I'm 41 with three kids—you have everything except time. You have more opportunities than you have energy and time in your schedule. You must learn to say no to worthless things so you can say yes to eternal things.
Listen especially to the men in this season: if you're trying to raise your kids for the glory of God, it's okay to have a hobby, but you get one. If that hobby interferes with your ability to love your wife and family well, ditch it. Figure out how to say no to things that don't matter so you can say yes to things that do.
If you're older, here's what I think happened to David. By 2 Samuel 11, he was probably pushing 50 when life expectancy was around 52 to 55. I wonder if David thought all the battles that mattered were behind him and his season of significance had ended. So he stopped fighting.
But in God's economy, things have expiration dates, but people don't. If you've got a pulse, God's got a purpose. You're on this planet for a reason. Don't grow weary in doing good. Win the race by running hard in the last 10 meters.
You need to kill condemnation. Here's something a pastor once told me that I've never forgotten:
Half-hearted Christians are the most miserable people in the world because they know enough about God to feel guilty, but...
not enough about the gospel to feel happy. Brother, that is powerful right there.
Here's what will happen: Satan wants you to think about your relationship with the Father as dependent on your moral performance rather than the finished work of Christ Jesus. If he can convince you of that, here's what most half-hearted Christians do: they know all this stuff that's wrong, but they haven't internalized at the deepest level that Jesus was already crucified for those things. So you don't have to crucify yourself when you do those things. They haven't gotten the good news all the way in.
What you'll begin to do—what most Christians do—is think that God's feelings toward you are based on how your devotions have been going lately, how many days it's been since you looked at pornography, how long it's been since you yelled at your kids. But listen to me: if you believe that and you try to base God's relationship with you on your performance rather than the finished work of Christ, you will spend your whole life assuming God is angry with you, disappointed with you, and disgusted with you.
What that will do is keep you from the Father. That's why the Prodigal Son wouldn't come home—he thought when he got home that the father would just say, "You're in the doghouse. You're going to be a slave." But instead what happened? A big hug. A welcome home. A kiss on the cheek. A party. That's what the Father does. He pours out more grace.
I want to show you something that illustrates this. In 2003, there was a movie called The Last Samurai. There's a scene where the main character, Nathan Algren, a troubled former American Civil War veteran, is thrown into a training session with a master Samurai named Ugio. They both get handed wooden swords and told to fight.
The purpose of this scene is to contrast the honor code of the Samurai with a very different honor code of the American spirit. The Samurai code says: if you get defeated, you take your own life. You surrender. It's a shame and honor culture.
But Nathan Algren does something none of them expect. Rather than giving up and staying on the mat, every time he gets knocked down, he just keeps getting back up. No matter what happens. He has a concussion. He's bleeding from his nose and his mouth. He knows the enemy is stronger than him. But on the muddy, bleeding ground with no hope in his mind of any success, his trembling hand just finds its way to the sword once again, and he stands up again.
Every time I see this scene, there's a verse from the Book of Proverbs that sears itself into my soul:
Though the righteous fall seven times they rise again; but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.
Do you know the difference between people who finish their life in righteousness and people who finish their life in wickedness? It's not that the righteous succeed more than you or fail less than you. It's that they keep getting back up and walking towards Jesus. That's the difference.
I know this: everybody in this room has failed for the thousandth time. The marriage didn't work. The endeavor failed. All these things. But can I just say something to you? Forget what lies behind. Strain forward to what lies ahead. Get back up. Dust yourself off. Breathe grace in and go. There's mercy for tomorrow. I'm going after Jesus again. That's our thing. We're grace people.
You've got to crucify condemnation, or you're never going to keep going.
The other point is quicker, but it's the most significant thing you'll learn: you've got to learn to live by habits, not feelings. There's no other way to say it.
The passage says, "At the time when kings go off to war." In other words, it's saying that David's habit—and I counted them this week; there are almost 20 battles before this moment that David led. So when you get to this, what it's saying is that what David was in the habit of doing, he got out of his habits. And that's when the destruction came.
Do you know how almost every season of immense destruction in your life will start? It starts like this:
That's how all of them start. The New Testament just says it like this: "Make no provision for the flesh." Stay in your habits.
When you read the Gospels next time, notice how frequently it says about Jesus: "As was his custom. As was his custom." He was a man of consistency and discipline.
Successful people do consistently what everybody else just does sporadically. There is no transformation without consistency. We don't rise to the level of our goals; we fall to the level of our rhythms. David got out of his rhythms, and all of it stopped.
If you want to defeat this thing, you've got to elevate your vision for your life.
Here's what I think happened to David: he lost his spiritual vision for why these battles mattered, so he just stopped fighting them. In 2 Samuel 7, God establishes with David what's called the Davidic Covenant. He gives him all these promises.
I think David forgot all the promises of God and just started thinking, "Oh, it's just a little skirmish with the Ammonites. They've got it."
But if David had been thinking this instead: "Me winning these battles, I'm claiming the promises of God given personally to me in the Davidic Covenant. I'm protecting the Messianic line from whom will come the Savior of the entire world. I'm securing the spiritual inheritance of my great-great-grandchildren." If he'd been thinking that, he would have gotten up off his butt and led that battle.
He lost the spiritual vision for why they mattered.
Do you think when Jesus called Peter to give up his bass fishing hobby that Peter had any idea what was going to happen? When Jesus was like, "Hey, Pete, come follow me," I think Peter was like, "Ah, I kind of like working this top water frog across the debris in the pond."
Peter had no idea. Do you think Peter knew that someday you will be crucified upside down in Rome and catalyze the movement of the church that overthrows the entire empire? Do you think he knew he would stand on the steps of the temple with divided tongues of fire resting on his head, supernaturally empowered to preach in languages from all over the world, staring down the very executioners of his Lord, calling them to "Save yourself from this wicked and crooked generation"—and 3,000 of them would be baptized before his eyes?
Do you think he had any idea? No. But that's what happens when you get around Jesus. He just elevates your vision for what's possible with your life.
Small things done for the glory of God, infused with the power of God, begin to change everything. You've got to elevate your vision for your life and see what God can do.
Let me land it here. I'm going to tell an insider story for those who are new here.
In 2019, I stood exactly at this spot on the stage, and I had an anxiety attack while I was preaching. Before that moment, I always thought when people talked about anxiety attacks, "Oh, that's cute. That's what Gen Z says when they've had a bad day." That's what I thought.
But then something happened to my body, and for the next eight months—before, during, and after teaching—I would have an anxiety attack. My throat would close up. There's a little office in this room where I am right now at this campus, with a window that faces right here along that back wall. I sat in that office as the service was starting and threw up into a trash can before I'd preach. Every single time for eight months.
Whenever I could get myself together, I would walk down that little aisle right there. My predecessor, Pastor Steve Stroope—pastor of this church for 40 years—he sat next to me. For those eight months, he had a backup sermon right next to him. So if I got to a spot where my throat closed up and I started thinking I was going to vomit or pass out, I could look at him and tap him in, and he would preach that sermon.
It got so bad that I got to the point where I thought, "Man, maybe God's closing the door, and I'll never preach again." I had other Pastor friends from large churches say, "Hey, man, if you don't feel like you can keep preaching, come be an executive pastor of my church. I'll match your salary."
There came one time—one time only—where the little pre-roll video starts, and my throat started closing up. I thought, "This is it. I'm not going to be able to do it." I looked at Pastor Steve and said, "I don't got it today."
He looked right back at me and said, "You're up."
And then he said this: "The people need what God has given you today."
When he said that, something in me just went, "Maybe they do. Maybe they do." And I stumbled my way up those steps. I sat on a stool and I read a 22-minute sermon that day.
Can I say something to you? Some of you right now have fallen down so many times, and you're weary and tired, and you're thinking about giving up. Look me right in the eyes right now. Listen: The people need what God has given you. The people need what God has given you today.
God puts you on this planet and he puts the Spirit of the Living God inside of you to minister to the people of God. When you go forward for the purposes of God to the people of God in the power of the Spirit of God, something eternal happens.
Elevate your vision. Elevate your vision for your life. What God might do—He might use you to transform people from one degree of glory to the next. When you connect what God has put in you with the people of God and the purposes of God, there is a joy, a life, a purpose that floods into you. Changes everything. Changes everything.
There's a church in London called Holy Trinity Brompton. A man named Steve described exactly this phenomenon. He said:
I never really liked the church. I didn't even really like Christians that much. I used to think of it like a package deal—you get Jesus and so you get the church and Christians. But then one day someone asked me to help run the coffee team on a Sunday. I was working 70-80 hour weeks, but I just said okay.
When I turned up next week and started handing coffee to people, something really changed in me. I found myself growing in love for them. I realized these people are amazing. This is an extraordinary, diverse community.
As I handed coffee to people, I grew in love for them, and I fell in love with the church. I started getting passionate about making the best coffee. I started building a team.
Making coffee changed my life because I fell in love with the Church of Jesus Christ. I didn't realize why it was special. I didn't realize why it mattered. But as I made coffee for people, I realized: oh, the church is like the Bride of Jesus. It's the thing He gave Himself for. The church is God's plan for the salvation of the world. There's no Plan B.
That's what I want to spend my life building.
Here's what I would say: some of you have never elevated your vision to what God might do with you. You don't know what happens when you connect what's in you to the people of God.
I'm inviting you into something. On the way in, you got a little card. I want to explain it. It says name, phone number, email. You can do this in literally 30 seconds.
Up here are three serve teams: Kids Ministry, Student Ministry, and Connections—our greeters, our amazing door people extending the welcome home of Jesus to every person that walks into Lakepointe.
I'm asking you today—literally right now while you're in your seat—to take 30 seconds and fill this little card out. Check the boxes for the teams you'd like to try. Test drive in the next 6 weeks and see what God might do with an elevated vision to the eternal purposes of the Living God.
You can drop that in the offering basket when it comes by or in the boxes next to the doors on your way out.
