“the Lord has sought out a man after His own heart . . . “
1 Samuel 13:14
If you missed last Sunday’s sermon, we met King David, before he became the king of Israel. David’s anointment by the Prophet Samuel revealed a young boy that had a heart for God. But how did David develop that heart for God? Were there things in his life that helped to foster this heart for God? I think that there were, and that is what we are exploring in our new sermon series during Lent, Growing a Heart for God.
By no means was David a perfect person. He had many flaws but the one thing that set him apart from others was his heart. It was a heart that was devoted to pleasing God. David’s life revealed a deep-set passion for God, a heart that pursued God.
This week we look at one of the most famous stories about David, one that we have probably heard since we were children. It is the story of David and Goliath which provides some great insights into David’s heart for God.
I hope that you can join us this week. It also is the first week of the month so we will be offering the Sacrament of Communion during our service.
Have a great rest of the week and I hope to see you on Sunday.
