    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 4, 2024
     | 1,028 views

    The choice of David to be the next king of Israel shows His Sovereignty in action, but also shows that He is a God of Surprises.

    "NOW the Lord said to Samuel, 'How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.' And Samuel said, 'How can I go? If ...read more

    Who is Standing In Front Of You? Potential! 1 Samuel 16:6-12 Mark 2:13-17 What do you see when you look at another person? How do you sum them up? When the prophet Samuel went to choose a new king for Israel, he assumed that the new king ought to look like the old king. The ...read more

    God Uses The Unexpected

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,956 views

    Many times those who are underestimated and considered failures go on to accomplish great things in society. The same principle is true in the kingdom. The Lord oftentimes uses people who are rejected to bring glory to His name.

    Once we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and as we come to know the Lord by spending time with Him, we will reach a point in our life where our love will overflow in a desire for service. It’s at this place that many believers come to a screeching halt. They look at themselves ...read more

    Your Heart Condition Before God Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 9, 2022
     | 3,076 views

    It is your heart that determines your usability. Maybe you are not the obvious choice for some position. The lesser known man who has the heart of God prevailed in the case of David. God’s principle remains the same.

    When God looks at you He does not see your height or weight or any warts or blemishes. God sees your heart and He sees you for your heart. How pure is your heart before God? This is the story of the anointing of David, the king of Israel. The setting begins with King Saul. Saul took leadership ...read more

    God is the only One Who has the authority to define us. When you and I draw our core identity from God, then so many of the issues of insignificance and emotional issues that plague us in our culture go away.

    “The eyes of the Lord go to and fro to strengthen those whose hearts are committed to Him …” 2 Chron. 16:9 When God is looking for someone to lift up, will He find you where He thought you would be?

    David was found where expected (tending sheep): When Prophet Samuel was looking for someone to anoint as king over Israel, David was found expectedly tending his father’s sheep (1 Sam 16:11-13); He did not stray away from the field doing something else. When the nation was looking for someone to ...read more

    The Eighth Son 1 Samuel 16:1-14 One of Ancient Israel’s greatest backslidings was when the people of Israel came to the Prophet Samuel and asked for a king “just like all the other nations” (1 Samuel 8:5).

    A Man After God's Own Heart: David's Early Life As A Shepherd Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jan 16, 2023
     | 2,103 views

    David was anointed as the king of Israel as a young man, and that would define his life for many years. He was a young king in exile. Because technically Saul was still king. But Saul had displeased God. And so God would slowly work in David’s life to bring him to the seat of the throne.

    We’re going to examine the life of the one of the great historical figures, a man named David. If there’s one person I want to mimic in my devotion to Christ it’s David. He is the prime example from the Old Testament of a godly man, a man the Bible says, was a man after God’s own heart. There are ...read more
