A Man After God's Own Heart

Acts 13:22

The Story
Three thousand years ago, God chose David to be the king of Israel.

• Out of all the sons of Jesse, the favor of God landed on David.
• David was the youngest son of a poor farmer from the tiny village of Bethlehem.

• Davis was a nobody living in a family of nobodies.
  

But by the grace of God

• David became the greatest king in the history of the nation of Israel.
• David became an ancestor of the LORD Jesus Christ.
• David was listed among the great heroes of the faith in Hebrew 11.

• But... greatest of all – David became a man after God's own heart.
