Teaching David buys the hilltop and builds an altar

We give God our very best, not our leftovers - real love always gives something that matters to us.

  • David wanted to feel strong by counting his army instead of trusting God. When are you tempted to trust in "big numbers" instead of God?
  • David wouldn't give God something for free - he gave his best. What is a "best" thing you could give God: your time, your help, your kindness?
  • As soon as David knew he'd done wrong, he said sorry. Why is it good to say sorry quickly instead of waiting?
