God's own heart

David: God's own heart

The story of King David is more than the rise of Israel's greatest king-it is the unfolding of God's purpose through flawed yet chosen lives. To understand why David was called a man after God's own heart, we must also understand those who walked beside him, against him, and before him.

This series will journey through the lives of remarkable and complex figures:

Mepibosheth, the forgotten son restored by grace.

Ishbosheth, the rival king who struggled with weakness.

Abigail, the woman whose wisdom turned away wrath.

Samuel, the prophet who anointed kings.

Saul, Israel's first king, consumed by jealousy.

Goliath, the giant who fell before faith.

Solomon, David's son, whose wisdom and downfall shaped a nation.

Bathsheba, whose story holds both scandal and destiny.

Absalom, the rebellious son torn by ambition.

Jonathan, the loyal friend bound by covenant.

Rizpah, the grieving mother whose silent vigil moved a king.

Michal, the wife whose love turned to scorn.

Through their victories and failures, courage and brokenness, we see the Divine hand weaving a greater story. At the center stands David-not perfect, yet deeply aligned with God's heart, chosen to carry forward the promise of a kingdom without end.
