Summer 2022 Worship Series: The Live of David

The Life of David: From Faithful Shepherd Boy to Flawed King
2022 Summer Worship  Series
Other than Jesus, David is written about more than anyone else in scripture. He is hailed as the greatest king of Israel, yet he was a paradox. He was a man after God’s own heart, yet he made destructive choices, abused his power, and caused brokenness in the lives of others. In his story we learn about friendship and betrayal, temptation and grace, sin and redemption, cowardice and courage, arrogance and humility. Ultimately he sought to follow God and was redeemed by truth and forgiveness. This summer we will look at the highlights and lowlights of David’s life and learn what it means to be a flawed human being after God’s own heart.

June 12                 The Unlikely People God Chooses: David the Shepherd Boy                        I Samuel 16
                “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want…” Psalm 23
                As Samuel  seeks the next King of Israel, God instructs him to go to Jesse’s house. Just when Samuel is convinced which son is the chosen one, God reminds Samuel, “the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” (7) God chose a kid no one noticed as the youngest of 8 to be the future King. How often do we look on the outward appearance of someone instead of their heart for God? Are we people after God’s heart? So often God chooses the most unlikely people…even us.
