God and the Heart (1 of 9)
Series: David: The Life of a King
Joshua Malone
1 Samuel 16:1-23
King David is one of the most interesting and important characters in all of the Bible.
He was the youngest of 8 brothers.
He didn't come from a famous lineage.
He was a shepherd and chosen by God to be king.
He was a brave warrior and ultimately a war hero.
He was a musician and a poet.
He also committed one of the most infamous sins in the all of the Bible. He was flawed, he sinned... but he loved God and was a man after God's heart.
He was a father of a rebellious son that tried to steal his kingdom, and he was the father of Solomon, a man God gifted with wisdom unlike any other.
David is a complex figure. - We can learn a lot from David... both his success and failures. His trials, sin, and victories.
It's been said that more is written about David than any other character in the Bible outside of Jesus, over 60 chapters.
Ultimately David is the king God chose to bring the Messiah through his line. The messiah, Jesus, is called the Son of David.
David points us to our need for a better and truer King... Jesus... to rescue us and reign in and over our hearts and lives.
Today we begin with 1 Samuel 16. - In this passage we are going to see God rejected one king and choose a new king. God we will see is not preoccupied with externals... God looks at the heart. - This morning... God is way more concerned with your heart than anything else. - I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND TODAY... GOD WANTS YOUR HEART.
Let's back up... 1 Sam.8:4- The elders of Israel came to Samuel the prophet and said, ''Behold, you are old and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint for us a king to judge us like all the nations.''
Notice, they wanted to be like the other nations. That is exactly what they are NOT TO DO. They are to be GOD'S NATION. A PECULIAR PEOPLE.
1 Sam. 8:7- ''And the LORD said to Samuel, 'Obey the voice of the people ...
