    God Sees The Heart

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 18, 2023
     | 1,954 views

    When we make choices, we tend to go for the eye-candy factor and make choices based on appearances. God always looks at what is inside the person’s heart, where we look at their appearance.

    GOD SEES THE HEART (Lent, March 19, 2023) Text: 1 Samuel 16:1-13 1 Samuel 16:1-13  The LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you grieve over Saul? I have rejected him from being king over Israel. Fill your horn with oil and set out; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I ...read more

    The listener may be thinking the sermon is about David but its not. It's about someone else.

    Spurgeon (1) wrote, " I think I may say to every person whom I am addressing, -If you are yourself saved, the work is but half done until you are employed to bring others to Christ. You are as yet but half formed in the image of your Lord. You have not attained to the full development of what ...read more

    The Trusting Heart

    Contributed by Sylvester Fergusson on Apr 1, 2023

    The ability to trust someone is not born overnight. It is an entity that develops in the bosom of a relationship.

    THE TRUSTING HEART The webster’s dictionary describes trust as “confidence in a person or thing because of the qualities one perceives or seems to perceive in him or it.” This ability to trust someone is not born overnight. It is an entity that develops in the bosom of a relationship. Sometimes ...read more

    The Woman Of Endor And Familiar Spirits

    This message takes a somewhat detailed look at First Samuel 28, the record of King Saul's interaction with the woman who has a familiar spirit.

    In 1978 or 1979, I was told about family members driving to Nashville – I’m from Tennessee – to see a lady because there were things going on in their lives that they didn’t understand. They had been praying but it seemed to them that God was silent. So they went to see this lady, who shared some ...read more

    Has God really called you? Then where is that separation? Where is your heart? What is it captivated by? Is the presence of the Holy Spirit evident in your life? This is not something you can determine or speak for yourself. This the church will testify.

    Opening Illustration: A certain king needed a faithful servant and had to choose between two candidates for the office. He took both at fixed wages and told them to fill a basket with water from a nearby well, saying that he would come in the evening to inspect their work. After dumping one or two ...read more

    God's Anointing Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023

     | 437 views

    God often chooses unlikely people, seeing beyond their outward appearance and focusing on their hearts. He does this to display His power through our lives as we walk in the anointing and gifting of the Holy Spirit.

    God tells this prophet, Samuel, to go to Bethlehem and anoint one of Jesse's sons as the new king. Samuel sees the oldest son, Eliab, and thinks, "This guy looks like king material." But God's like, "Nope, I don't look at the outside; I look at the heart." So, none of Jesse's seven sons present ...read more

    God See's Different

    Contributed by Jung Lee on Jan 15, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,749 views

    In 1 Samuel 16, the Bible tells us, 'People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.' This simple line is so powerful. It reminds us that what truly matters is not how we look on the outside but what's in our hearts.

    Today, I want us to think about the world around us. It's very different from the world we read about in the Bible. In our time, influenced by media and the internet, there's a big focus on looking good and staying healthy. Social media, TV, and other media often set high standards for ...read more
