    Perceive Passion Series

     | 5,759 views

    We need to decide what we are going to be passionate about in life. David was passionate for the Lord. The truth is you are passionate about something! The Bible encourages us to be passionate for Jesus like David was!

    Theme: True Life Series: Perceive Scripture: Proverbs 29:18 (The Message): 18If people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; But when they attend to what he reveals, they are most blessed.

    Inside Out Means Looking Pass Me Just So You Can Know Me

    Contributed by Preacher Fo Real on Feb 20, 2014
     | 5,052 views

    Viewing People From The Inside Out Is Looking Pass The Outside So You Can Truly Know Them. It Is The Way God Sees Us And The Only Way We Should View Ourselves And Others In The World.

    The last few years of the 1960's were some of the most turbulent times for the African-American community. However, as a lad lost inside the safe and carefree world of my infancy, I did not have a clue the world saw me as inferior to the Caucasian race. I did not own this widely held notion because ...read more

    Palace Or The Pasture

     | 20,905 views

    what made David who he was, was not developed in the fanfare of the palace, but in the isolation of a pasture... long before he played for Saul, he played for God. Before defeating the giant, he practiced on trees, targets, bears and lions.

    Palace or the Pasture 1 Samuel 16:11 KJV [11] And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. Gene Edwards, in ...read more

    The kind of heart God wants

    INTRODUCTION: If God were to look at your heart today, what would He see? OR maybe, the better question is, would your heart attract God? Would He even want to take a glimpse of your heart? Or will He be repulsed? “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from ...read more

     | 13,829 views

    When it comes to the principle of choices, men are always impressed by what they see, but not God. He looks at the heart. The people of Israel selected a king based on the externals - but God was looking at the heart when he selected David.

    Series: David - A Man After God’s Own Heart (An Intro: Give Us A King – The People’s Choice V/S God’s Choice) 1. 1 Samuel 16:1-14 16 The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 17,812 views

    David possesses all these giftings, yet he is disregarded in his own family. His father and brothers do not value him much, but God does. Our worth is not determined by what others think of us but what God thinks of us.

    Series: David - A Man After God’s Own Heart: Part 2: Something’s Rotten In Jesse’s Family 1 SAMUEL 16:1 The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to ...read more

     | 10,186 views

    Only God sees the genuine qualities on the inside of each of us. When looking for a partner whether in business or relationships, desire God's discernment. Never choose based on sight. In spite of David's hidden qualities, he is rejected in his own house.

     | 23,315 views

    For a long time, many skeptics and atheists have stated that David is a mythical character invented by the Jews. But recent archaeological discoveries have proven otherwise. My trip to Israel in January 2016 brought new revelations. David is God's Man.

    Judging Character

     | 15,791 views

    We put a lot of priority into the way we look, but God sees on the inside. God values character over appearance, and can rightly help us do the same as we trust him.

    1 Samuel 16:6-13 Judging Character In our western society, we truly value outward appearances. People in America spend thousands and thousands of dollars on face lifts, behind lifts, and everything in between.

    what does God look at first when he looks at us?

    We have been learning form a man named Saul, chosen by God to be king of Israel, but because of his arrogance and disobedience to God, Saul was rejected by God.
