Introduction to the Life of David
1 Samuel 1:1 - 15:35

God has made it very clear that He wants us to know a lot about the life of David. David is mentioned more often in Scripture than any other person (except for God Himself) - more often than Adam, Isaiah, Noah, Elijah, Paul, and Abraham all combined. Sixty eight chapters of God's Word are devoted to the David's life. He is the standard for godliness in the Old Testament for all people, and each of the kings who came after him were measured in God's eyes by how they compared to David... Understanding his life is the key to understanding the Psalms and most of messianic prophecy. God called David a man after His own heart. From David we learn something we do not even learn from Jesus' example: how a man after God's own heart responds to his own sin. It is crucially important that we know about the life of this man.

Loving God with All Your Heart

$40

Jesus said the greatest commandment was to love the Lord you God with all your being. What does that mean? Is loving God nothing more than commitment to obedience? What role do the emotions play? Christians have tended to err on one of two sides of these questions. Some fall into a superstitious mysticism that seeks truth by means of experience above God's Word. Others have erred on the other side turning love for the Lord into nothing more than resolve and obedience, disregarding the importance of the affections and reducing God to a mere set of propositions instead of a person to be loved, cherished, known, experienced, desired, and delighted in. This series is a study of what Scripture says about what it means to love God with our whole being, and how to develop that love. (15 messages)
