260719 Accepted By God

Being accepted by God should never be taken for granted. Before David was anointed by Samuel, Saul and all seven of David’s brothers were rejected by God. Even David, a man after God’s own heart, was denied the opportunity to build a house for him. When God does accept our offerings, He gives us the privilege of seeing his will prosper in our lives. Like good soil that a seed is planted in, the works of our hands can provide a fertile environment for the will of God to grow and bear much fruit in the Earth. 1 Samuel 16; Matthew 13; 1 Chronicles 17; Psalm 50; Haggai 1 NYC Sunday Sermon | July 19, 2026
