    After God's Own Heart

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Oct 24, 2020

     | 5,328 views

    Let’s think about King David and why he is called ‘a man after God’s own heart”. What qualities of David led to that designation? How can we be more like David when he was at his best - and avoid the dangers of being like him at his worst?

    How to Be a Person After God’s Own Heart Introduction The human heart weighs less than a pound. It beats 100,000 times a day. Without your heart your body would quickly cease to work. Jesus spoke a great deal about the heart. The heart is a metaphor for the inner life. It is the seat of the ...read more

    The word of God is our Sword of Spirit, it is our weapon in this spiritual warfare, but without it we are spiritually disarmed. We shall consider how Israelites were once disarmed by their enemies and extract lessons which we can apply to us today

    In the year 2015, more than two hundred Nigerian soldiers were dismissed from the army for not obeying orders, they were accused of fleeing rather than fighting the Boko Haram militants.

    The Songs Of Ascent – Part 15 – Psalm 131 – Resting In Contentment And The Hope Of Israel – Hope In The Lord Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 8, 2024
     | 755 views

    Some churches run so many activities that some servants are just worn out. We need more exits and “coming aside to rest” for contentment. Remember activities in the Lord’s name could be a barrier that stops us knowing Jesus better! We look at hope in Israel.

    5th in the series UnLikely Heroes. Portrays David's great heroic attribute of character.

    INTRODUCTION The Greek word from which our word “character” originated signified a sharp-pointed instrument or engraving tool. Much of this first meaning is implied in the word as we use it, for is not character the means by which each of us makes his impression on the world? Someone has said, “To ...read more

    God did not look on the appearance, on the height of the stature of a person, on the beauty, on the mighty. He never choose like how we choose. Samuel said to Jesse “God did not choose anyone of these”(1Sam.16:10). Then who?

    David: God's Choice I Sam 13:14. “But now your kingdom will not continue; the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart and the Lord has appointed him to be ruler over his people, because you have not kept because what the Lord has commanded you”. Choosing criteria: God did not look on ...read more

    Saul's Failure Series

    based on 50 ratings
     | 23,522 views

    Saul’s mistake was that he was more worried about his success than God’s glory. God became for him a means to an end, rather than an end in himself. So this is both warning and a challenge to us. Make sure that God is at the centre of our focus in everyth

    On the surface, the story of Saul’s life is one of wars against his enemies, mostly victorious. But that’s just the setting for a much more significant drama that unfolds as his life as king progresses, a drama that involves his relationship with the God of Israel. It’s ironic that as the story ...read more
