    What was it that made David a man after God's heart? In 1 Samuel 16, we learn that David had a humble, hard-working, halleluiah-filled heart!

    David: A Man after God’s Heart (1) Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 2/21/2016 Most everyone who has ever been to Sunday school or Vacation Bible School as a child knows the familiar story of David and Goliath.

    David - God's Sovereign Choice (1 Samuel 16:1-13)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 4, 2024
     | 835 views

    David, an anonymous shepherd boy living in the hills of Judea, was the person whom God would raise up to be Israel's greatest king, the author of numerous psalms, and be referred to as "a man after God's own heart".

    Three thousand years ago, the LORD God chose a young man by the name of David to be the king of Israel. Out of all the sons of Jesse, God's favor came to rest on David. He was the youngest son of Jesse, a poor farmer from the tiny hamlet of Bethlehem. David, on the surface, was a nobody ...read more

    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.

    God See's Different

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,008 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

    The iconic statement is our consideration this morning: “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)

    Your Heart Condition Before God Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 9, 2022
     | 2,807 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
