A Man After God's Own Heart
In this life, do you only seek and make it your aim personal peace and personal prosperity—seeking only comfort, security, and material gain? In contrast, King David demonstrates that a person after God's own heart is driven by one all-consuming passion that stands in stark contrast to these worldly motivations—a passion we'll discover as Tom Pennington explains 1 Samuel 17 and the encounter between David and Goliath and what it means to be A Man After God's Own Heart.
Part 1
First Samuel 17 doesn’t primarily focus on David’s courage—although he was courageous. It doesn’t primarily focus on David’s strength or skill. Instead, this scene puts the glory of God on display. It is crucial that we as believers understand this: there is no one more passionate about God’s glory than God Himself.
