How Good People Slowly Drift Away From God | Come Follow Me

Why do good people slowly drift away from God? In this Come Follow Me lesson, we study David, Solomon, repentance, temptation, spiritual compromise, and how small choices can quietly pull us away from Jesus Christ. This week we’re diving into one of the most powerful warnings in scripture. Nobody wakes up one morning and decides to walk away from God. It usually happens slowly. One compromise. One distraction. One rationalization at a time. In this Come Follow Me lesson, we look at the rise and fall of David and Solomon—and the sobering truth that even good people can drift spiritually if they stop guarding their hearts. We’ll talk about: • David’s tragic fall • Solomon’s prayer for wisdom • The beauty of the temple • The danger of spiritual drift • How to stay anchored in Jesus Christ The good news? No matter how far you’ve drifted… God still calls you back. If you’ve felt spiritually tired, distracted, or far from God lately, this message is for you.
