David and the Psalms (1 of 5)
by Frank Damazio
Introduction: The Psalms are a reflection of many historical situations, give expression to a wide variety of experiences, and give voice to the hopes of many generations. The Psalms were written from personal experiences and, by their spirit, embody the circumstances which gave rise to them. The Psalms have played a very significant role in the personal lives of people because people's deepest emotions are verbalized in the Psalms: joy, sorrow, perplexity, cry for justice, worship, brokenness, discouragement, and hope. Some Psalms express great love to God and others great frustration with God.Exodus 40:20-21...
David and Goliath (2 of 3)
by Kerry Shook
He possessed a killer instinct. ''Then David ran over and pulled Goliath's sword from its sheath. David used it to kill him and cut off his head. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they turned and ran.'' 1 Samuel 17:51 (NLT) He expected more giants in the future ''Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd's bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.'' 1 Samuel 17:40 (NIV) He turned down a sword for a sling ''And Israel will learn that the Lord does not depend on weapons to fulfill his plans--he works without regard...
David: I Am Guilty
by John Barnett
I am guilty. I was wrong. I am sorry-please take from me the just punishment I deserve. So begins the greatest song about the love of God experienced by a most desperate man named David. David was overwhelmed. In a moment he went from absolute gloom and heaviness of soul to the joy of his sins lifted off. That weight that had grown heavier day after day was now lifted. The spiritual scales that had slowly taken the color and light from his life were removed. His soul now flooded with light and peace began again to drink deeply from the wells of his salvation. David had fallen so far, so fast-but the dullness of his...
David and Goliath (16 of 17)
by Miles McPherson
And if you're new to the rock, maybe it's your first time or you're watching online for the first time and you're not familiar with The Royal is, it's actually the newest teaching series that we've been going through for the past several weeks and it's all meant to help ups understand God's word a little bit better, going through the biblical genres. And so we're in the 4th week and the biblical genre that we've been studying is what? Do you guys know? Warriors right? Which is a type of narrative and so what I love about the narratives is that they've been teaching us or illustrating a bunch of doctrines and theology using/kind of revealing...
David and Goliath
by Jim Henry
One of the great stories of the Bible is contained in this passage. Often when you think of David, you think of Goliath at the same time. Most of us cut our Old Testament teeth'' on the story of David and Goliath. It's the classic example of the underdog, the little man against the big one, and we're going to look at it in terms not only of what happened literally, but also what God intended to be included spiritually for edification in our own lives. We all have giants in our lives. Who are your giants? These giants are different, I'm sure. What may be a giant to me may not be a giant to you, or your neighbor's giant may not be a giant to you....
And David Prayed
by Daniel Rodgers
In this story, we see the Philistine army amassed against David and the people of Israel. David had now become king over the combined tribes of Judah and Israel. The Northern ten tribes, referred to as Israel, had been under Saul's son, Ishbosheth. Following the death of Saul's son, David was anointed king over both Judah and Israel, once again reuniting all 12 tribes (vs. 12). 2. When the Philistines heard that David was king over both the North and the South, they decided to invade Israel. No doubt, they felt that with his combined strength, he would now be a threat (vs. 17a); But when the Philistines heard that they had...
David: Joyful Worship (5 of 12)
by Stan Coffey
We continue in our series of preaching from every book in the Bible that we call, ''The Original Route 66.'' We are in a sub-series from the books of history called, ''Bible Giants.'' Today we look once again David, the man after God's own heart. Surely David stands out as a ''Bible Giant.'' He was a shepherd, then he was a singer, then he was a soldier then he was a sovereign. David now is the king. And David knows that as king and head of the nation of Israel he needs God's power and he needs God's presence. Now in the Old Testament God's presence was represented by a little piece of furniture called the ''Ark of the...
David: God's King (3 of 14)
by Jerry Vines
We took a look last week at King Saul who was man's king, the king they demanded. Now we turn our attention to David, who is God's king. David. One of the great characters in all of the Bible. David. Mentioned some 600 times in the Old Testament. David. Mentioned about 60 times in the New Testament. He appears on the first page of the New Testament and on the last page of the New Testament. David. Known in the 13th chapter as a man after God's own heart. David. A man whose heart was sensitive and open to God. Not a perfect man, as we shall see, but a man to whom God could get His message. A man who was responsive...
David and Jonathan
by Jesse Hendley
In First Samuel 18 we read the record about David and Jonathan. In these two men, two of the most outstanding of all time, we have a picture of what it means to fight the good fight of the faith. Faith Many people do not know what faith is. Many others do not know that it is a battle to know God. Some people say they believe in God but never really have believed Him for anything. Those of us who have tried to know Him know that it is a battle to really BELIEVE God, to BELIEVE just what He says. The other day I was talking to a man whose wife died and he was telling me about how things were now at home. He said, ''You know, she's...
David, Real Heart (20 of 32)
by Steve Jones
Introduction: From ''Children's Letters to God'' Lucy asks God, ''Dear God, are you really invisible or is that just a trick?'' Norma asks, ''Dear God, did you mean for a giraffe to look like that or was that an accident?'' Nell writes: ''Dear God, I went to this wedding and they kissed right in church. Is that okay?'' Lois: ''Dear God, I like the Lord's prayer best of all. Did you have to write it a lot or did you get it right the first time?'' Joanne: ''I'd like to know why all the things you said are in red.'' Darla: ''Did you really mean, 'do unto others as they do unto you?' Because if you did, then I'm going to fix my brother.'' Peter: ''Will you please send...
David and Bathsheba (14)
by Zach Terry
Rather than embracing his calling and purpose, he takes a break. Now taking a break is good, but he has had all winter to relax. The battle is on, the game is afoot, but David send Joab and David remains. Purpose is to a Heart, what People are to a Home. Unoccupied homes deteriorate much faster than occupied ones. They seem to fall apart. Well the human heart is similar. When it is engaged in purpose it seems unstoppable. But when a man forgets his purpose and begins to drift, vines begin to grow. Men - you have a purpose. You are to be engaged fathers, loving husbands, profitable employees, assets to the body of christ here...
Character Matters: David's Respect of Authority!
by David Cawston
Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3 What will you do to get your way? Reminds me of a story: A DEA officer stopped at a ranch in Texas , and talked with an old rancher. He told the rancher, ''I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs.'' The rancher said, ''Okay , but don't go in that field over there...'',as he pointed out the location. The DEA officer verbally exploded saying, ''Mister, I have the authorityof the Federal Government with me !'' Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher. ''See this badge?! This badge...
Michal and David: A Study in Bitterness
by Miles Seaborn
A woman's face peeks out of a window in the palace of the King of Israel as it watches the huge procession making it way down the street. The face becomes twisted in rage and hate. A woman whirls away to perhaps throw herself on the bed and weep in rage and self-pity. Who was the woman? She Michal, daughter of Saul, wife of King David. The Bible says in 2 Samuel 6;16, ''As the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, looked through the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord and she despised him in her heart.'' ''Despised!'' In Hebrew that is a very, very strong word...
David's Prayer of Thanksgiving
by Rex Yancey
King David fully intended to build a house for God. He thought it would be a good place to house the Ark of the Covenant and be a centralized place of worship for Israel and Judah that would bring them together. But God told him he would not build Him a house because he had been a man of war and had blood on his hands. So David switched gears and started collecting offerings and gathering materials so his son Solomon could build the temple. Money started pouring in. This generosity prompted David to pray this public prayer. He acknowledged God as the sovereign God of the universe. He can do what He wants to do...
Born of a Daughter of David
by Dr. J. Vernon McGee
In former years one of the most enjoyable experiences of life was to take a vacation by touring the country, as it was called in those days. You'd get the old car greased, fill it with gas, take along two or three extra tires, load in the family, get a road map, then start down some highway, following the markers as you went along. There was nothing more exciting than to hit the open road and go down a highway over which you had never driven before. Columbus did not get a greater thrill than those of us who took that kind of trip. And I'm confident that Marco Polo never had a finer experience in all of his explorations than those of us...
Son of David (1 of 3)
by Jim Perdue
Introduction/Attention: This morning, we begin a brand new and entirely unique Christmas series entitled Right Christmas. We're going to spend three weeks in a most interesting biblical text. You may not think it's the most interesting biblical text you've read, but my hope is that when we're finished, you will see the beauty of Matthew 1, the genealogy of Jesus Christ. That's right, three weeks on the genealogy in Matthew 1. But this genealogy is important if we want to get Christmas right. And in a world that is so confused about who Jesus is, it's essential to take some time in the Word of God to answer that question. If a man...

David, Real Succession (31 of 32)
by Steve Jones
Introduction: (Excerpted from ''Handoff'' by Jeff Myers). The 2004 U.S. Women's 4 X 100 relay team performed impressively in the semi-finals of the 2004 Athens Olympics. Commentators confidently predicted that the gold medal was assured. In the finals Marion Jones completed the second leg, while teammate Lauryn Williams bolted from her starting position, thrust her arm back, and anticipated the thump of the baton being pressed into her hand. She never felt it. Said Jones, ''I just couldn't get the baton to Lauryn. I kept yelling, 'wait, stop, hold up' but after running 100 meters I was out of breath and I don't know if she could hear...
