Heart Of David Sermon Series Messages
1-God Gave Them Saul, but He Raised Up David 1 Samuel 16
God gave His people Saul as king for 40 years. During a portion of those years, the Lord was training and preparing David. We are all in a training process for something great.
2- Youth Shepherd 1 Samuel 16:6-23
He was a shepherd boy, but specifically chosen by God and anointed to be the leader of God’s people. David’s name is found approximately 1100 times in the Scriptures. It’s found even more than the name of Jesus. God wants us to learn from him.
3-Service To Saul 1 Samuel Chapters 17 and 18
Saul is a type of old-order religion/church. God is moving, and to move with God, we must change to a new order of church. As we’ll see, God is a living God, not a good idea.
4-God Is For Us 1 Samuel 21
In God’s greatness, He cares for us. Our lives have basic epochs. This is the third epoch of David – the outlaw in the wilderness. Our epochs will have wilderness times. This is a long time in David’s life. Sometimes wilderness is a long period of time in our lives.
5-What Will God Do For Me 1 Samuel 22
The enemy, be it the devil or the world’s society/system, is after our families. The cave of Adullam speaks of the place we discover if we’re a leader.
6-I Have Caused The Death Of All The Father’s House 1 Samuel 22
Nothing we have ever done, nor nothing we will ever do is outside of God’s mercy. God will deal with us, but His mercy endures forever.
7-David And His Men 1 Samuel 23
It’s never one person. One person may be used by God, but there are always others in the ministry. David inquired of the Lord again and again. The heart for God will pray and ask for direction.
8-Abigail 1 Samuel 25
She was David’s third of eight wives. Interestingly it seems David heeded Abigail’s counsel until Bathsheba came into the picture. This passage is full of present truths. Let’s take a look.
9-Moving To The Anointing Heart Of David Audio 2 Samuel 2:1-4
The epoch of his life changes. This will be his third anointing, and he will become the king of all of Israel. The epochs of our lives and the church change. The Lord is not finished with His church.

11-Third Anointing Heart Of David Study Audio
The first purpose in David’s heart is to put God where God needs to be for the people. He is seen as King by His people. In our third anointing, we come to a place, the church comes to a place, where we see the Lord as King.
12-Bathsheba – Five Points Of Grace Audio 2 Samuel 11
There was never a darker time in David’s life than his sin with Bathsheba and the killing of Uriah the Hitite. What we learn is no matter how much a person can know and love God the same person can fall. However, no matter how badly or far a person falls God’s grace can forgive, save, and bring the person back.
