Lust Isn't Wanting. It's Wanting to Be Wanted. (1 Samuel 16:11)

June 18, 2026
In week 2 of the David series we go back to 1 Samuel 16, where David starts as the unwanted one, and we trace how that hunger to be wanted shows up in all of us. Jesus defines lust for us in Matthew 5:28, and we find that real freedom doesn't come from killing the wanting alone. It comes when the wanting of God is finally enough.
We're not David in this story. He's the proof of how badly we need a greater King.
