The life of King David provides a vivid picture of the combined beauty of God's world with the brokenness of our fallen world. In his powerful Psalm 51, David laments his sins of adultery and murder, and in doing so outlines for us the causes of the fall, the extent of the fall, the results of the fall, and the Jesus-centered solution to the fall.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.

On Episode 67 of Craving Answers, Craving God, Aaron and Chuck discuss this topic and offer suggestions which can help lead to recovery. It’s the latest show on our bi-weekly podcast. Give it a listen!
