Week 1: Annointing
After God’s Own Heart, a journey through the life of David and the story of God’s redemption that ultimately points us to Jesus.
In Week 1, Pastor Reid Robinette explores David’s anointing in 1 Samuel 16:1-13. While others focused on appearance, strength, and status, God saw something different.
Scripture: 1 Samuel 16:1-13
Week 2: His Mercy
In 1 Samuel 26, David is given the perfect opportunity to take revenge on King Saul, the very man who has spent years hunting him down. Instead, David chooses mercy. Why? Because mercy isn’t about pretending everything is okay. Mercy is trusting God with what isn’t fair.
As we examine David’s remarkable restraint, we’ll discover how his story points us to Jesus—the One who showed mercy even to those who crucified Him.
Scripture: 1 Samuel 26:7-25
Week 3: His Courage
In the story of David and Goliath, the real lesson isn’t about finding more courage. It’s about remembering who is actually fighting the battle.
While everyone else saw a giant, David saw a God who was bigger.
Scripture: 1 Samuel 17
Week 4: His Sin & Repentance
After David’s sin with Bathsheba and the death of Uriah, God sends the prophet Nathan with a message David never expected to hear. What unfolds is a powerful story of confrontation, confession, consequences, and grace.
Through David’s failure and repentance, we discover a God who refuses to abandon His people to hidden sin and who lovingly calls us back to Himself.
Scripture: 2 Samuel 12
Week 5: His Kindness
When King David asks if there is anyone left from Saul’s family, everyone expects justice—or even revenge. Instead, David extends extraordinary kindness to Mephibosheth, the grandson of Saul, welcoming him to eat at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years or you’re still exploring who He is, this message is a powerful reminder that God’s heart is full of mercy, kindness, and invitation.
Scripture: 2 Samuel 9:1–13
Week 7: His House
In 2 Samuel 7, David wants to build a house for God. But instead of accepting David’s plans, God makes David an incredible promise—one that ultimately points to Jesus.
Scripture: 2 Samuel 7
Week 8: His Friend
In a world where relationships are often built around convenience or common interests, Scripture shows us something deeper. Jonathan’s friendship with David was marked by humility, loyalty, sacrifice, and a shared devotion to God.
Through their story, we discover how God uses friendships to strengthen our faith, shape our character, and remind us of the greatest Friend we could ever have—Jesus Christ.
Scripture: 1 Samuel 18:1–4
