This 30-minute sermon explores the characteristic that God wanted in a king.
The scripture focus is 1 Samuel 16:1-13. This sermon provides insight on the characteristics that led to David becoming king and commit to developing these in our lives. Like King David equals faithfulness. See the “Like David” post for additional information.
When selecting a king, God wanted a God-focused person, someone who would rely on him. Another characteristic God wanted was faithfulness, which is a main theme throughout the bible (Matthew 25:21). Daniel is also used as an example of someone who was committed to living a life pleasing to God.
Sometimes, we become discouraged and see obstacles as impossible to overcome. Had David let his mind wander away from God as he was tending the sheep, he might not have been prepared for the role God planned for him. David chose instead to be faithful while being a shepherd, which prepared him for the role of king.Faithfulness is a main theme throughout the bible.
Like King David equals faithfulness. Encourage believers to set this as their goal.
