    Judging Character

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 26, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,451 views

    We put a lot of priority into the way we look, but God sees on the inside. God values character over appearance, and can rightly help us do the same as we trust him.

    1 Samuel 16:6-13 Judging Character In our western society, we truly value outward appearances. People in America spend thousands and thousands of dollars on face lifts, behind lifts, and everything in between. Don Knotts, the actor who played Barney Fife on the Andy Griffith Show, once said, “What ...read more

    The Lord's criteria for service.

    ANOINTING A MAN AFTER GOD’S OWN HEART. 1 Samuel 15:34-35; 1 Samuel 16:1-13. Israel had demanded a king, just so that they could be like the other nations. Samuel had protested, but the LORD allowed it. After all, they were not rejecting Samuel: they were rejecting the LORD (1 Samuel 8:4-7). ...read more

    Give Us A King Series

     | 13,478 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.

    based on 1 rating
     | 17,328 views

    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.

     | 9,772 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.

     | 22,563 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.

    TITLE: From Nobody to Nobility TEXT: 1 Samuel 16:1-13 INTRO: The leader of a nation has an awesome responsibility. He can unite or divide the people. He can build up or tear down the nation.

    Lessons From The Father Of A Nation

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 17, 2018

     | 8,478 views

    From the story of Samuel anointing David as future king, we learn to obey God (which impacts others), to never stop learning, and to cultivate character. (Used as Father's Day sermon.)

    1 Samuel 15:34 - 1 Samuel 16:13 Lessons from the Father of a Nation This Father’s Day I thought it would be interesting to learn from the Father of a nation. We usually look at today’s story from the perspective of David, but why not see it through Samuel’s eyes? Samuel, in essence, is the father ...read more

    Two things we need most are found in Jesus: real security and deep satisfaction.

    King Saul was a major disappointment. As you know, he was the first king of Israel, and he was everything you would want a king to be. When we first meet him in the pages of Scripture, we are told that he was “a handsome young man.” In fact, “there was not a man among the people ...read more

    The Holy Spirit wants to be active in our lives if we’ll let Him. He wants to make us Christ-like and help us do the work of the Kingdom right now. We’re going to look at the Holy Spirit as revealed during the life of David.
