    God See's Different

     | 3,230 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

    This message was given for a specific Church going through a time of transition (seeking a new pastor.) In this message God reminds us that if we are communing with Him, He has ordered our steps and we just need to prayerfully follow them.

    Your Steps Are Ordered (Strangers Rest Baptist Church - 2/18/2024) Good morning Strangers Rest. I give honor to God and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

    This is the first message in a series i titled HEARTBEATS. It is a study in the life of numerous characters from the Bible whose heart was constantly beating for God. What does it mean to be a man after God's heart? That is the focus of this message.

    “Chasing God’s Heart” 1st Samuel 16:1-13a and Acts 13:22 Shug Jordan who was the football coach at Auburn University, asked one of his former players (named Mike) if he would help him do some recruiting that year. He says, “Well, sure coach…..just tell me what kind ...read more

     | 13,711 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

    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

     | 10,046 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.

    Series: David - A Man After God¡¦s Own Heart: Part 3: Something¡¦s Rotten In Jesse¡¦s Family (2) 1 SAMUEL 16:1 1 And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the ...read more

     | 23,064 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.

    Just because we don't like the truth, can't handle the truth or it doesn't line up with our experience/feelings doesn't make it any less truth. Can you handle truth bombs?

    Truth Bombs Pt. 2 - It's Moving Day I. Introduction Truth is talked about a lot. It has been said that truth is different for everyone. I would beg to differ. Truth is truth because it is truth across the board. That is what makes it truth. There has to be a standard of truth by which what we ...read more

     | 7,200 views

    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

    New Testament Anointing

    Contributed by Bharat Raaya on Oct 13, 2015
     | 6,931 views

    Saul and David depicts two testaments. Saul stands for Old Testament and David for New Testament. Their anointing differed and so was their race to the final destination.

    New Testament anointing 1Samuel 10:1,16:1-13 Prophet Samuel had the privilege of anointing the first two kings of Israel. In 1 Sam.10:1, we see that Samuel took a flask of oil to anoint Saul.
