The Life of David: A Heart After God

This week, Pastor Chris began a new series looking at the life and the heart of David. Chris provided the historical context leading up to David's appointment as king. In 1st Samuel, the collective whole of Israel had rejected the Lord in their desire for an earthly king. God raised up Saul, but he soon proved himself unworthy as his leadership was marked by partial obedience, arrogance, and unrepentance. The Lord removed Saul and worked through the prophet Samuel to appoint and raise up David as the King of Israel after God's own heart.
