David's Lament Over Saul Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 20, 2003

based on 88 ratings

| 24,848 views

David is a King after God’s own heart, because he looks to God for success in all he does. David’s success will come from his devotion to and his reliance on the Lord, shown so clearly in his response to the death of Saul.

We return today to the story of Saul and David. If you remember, Saul was anointed King of Israel by popular acclaim, though at God’s direction.

David Is Made King Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 20, 2003

based on 44 ratings

| 13,827 views

David becomes King by God’s plan but as a result of a series of events which are sometimes ungodly in nature. God is able to use ungoldy actions by sinful men and women to bring about his good purposes in history.

The youngest son who is chosen and anointed by God to lead his people. The young lad who defeats the battle seasoned giant Goliath. ...read more

This sermon is about answering God’s call.

Ring, ring! “Hello. Who is this?” The call. How often do we answer calls? They come on the telephone. They may be a letter or e-mail. Calls come in different shapes and sizes.
