David was a powerful man…conquering almost every thing he set out to accomplish. He used his power to pillage towns, win battles and manipulate people. Let’s face it, David was good at being evil…gifted even. In the end, though, God did not grant him completion of his ultimate quest, to build the temple in Jerusalem, because of the blood he spilled throughout his life. Instead, he could only provide some nails to aid in the building of the temple. David was strong with a sword, but it was nails that God wanted. It was in David’s weakness that God used David, not his strength. Listen in to find out how God uses our weaknesses to get the job done.

The story of David is fascinating. A lowly shepherd boy, chosen by God to be King of Israel. A man who knew, trusted and feared God, yet the farthest thing from perfect…an adulterer and murderer. David was influential and wise, a man full of love…a father.
Stan continues this series on Davids life with a look into his time as a young shepherd and why God chose him as the next king of Israel.

What Would David Do?…We don’t typically ask ourselves that question to gauge our choices for a particular decision. It’s with good reason. David frequently made poor decisions, with little regard for those he hurt by making those decisions. However, Jesus still called him a man after God’s own heart. Listen in as Stan begins a new series about the life of David and how a man who made so many bad choices was still deemed a man after God’s own heart.
