How To Be A Servant After God’s Own Heart Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 10, 2026

Why was David a man after God's own heart... but Saul wasn't? And what can that tell me about how I can be a man after God's own heart?

If we’ve had a really good day, we might say that we are feeling “Lighthearted.” If we know ...read more
