After God’s Own Heart // David (Part 5) // Pastor Drew
from Collective Church Omaha · host Collective Church
🙌🏻 "One thing I ask, one thing I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life; to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple." 🙌🏻 In the fifth part of the David series, Pastor Drew contrasts the leadership and internal battles of King Saul and King David, ultimately focusing on the difference between Trust in Man and Trust in God. Why did the Spirit of the Lord leave King Saul, and why did Saul ultimately turn to a medium for answers? Pastor Drew unpacks the unsettling scripture of 1 Samuel 16, explaining that Saul's rejection by God was due to his heart choosing the approval of man over obedience. This choice resulted in a fear-driven response that led him to pursue the demonic at Endor, desperately seeking answers anywhere but from God. Learn to recognize your own fear response, and discover the singular motive that shaped David's life. David's victory over fear was rooted in his "one thing" (Psalm 27:4): a relentless pursuit of God's presence, not the appearance of goodness. This sermon is a powerful call to strengthen your spirit by purifying your motives, surrendering the pursuit of human approval, and planting your trust solely in the Name of the Lord. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00:52 - Welcome & Sermon Introduction 00:02:42 - The Spirit Leaving Saul: Rejection and God's Restraint (1 Samuel 16) 00:12:44 - The Core Contrast: Trust in Man vs. Trust in God 00:15:44 - Saul's Fear Response and Pursuit of the Medium at Endor 00:27:10 - Warning: The Reality of the Demonic and Spiritual Strength 00:33:43 - David's Motive: The One Thing I Ask (Psalm 27) 00:37:56 - Call to Purify Motives and Surrender Trust ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For any information, how to connect, and prayer requests: https://collectivechurchomaha.churchcenter.com/people/forms/968572 We'd love to hear from you!
