About this episode

Pastor Jeff Schreve discusses how God values the heart over appearance and human credentials, using the story of David's selection as king.

Could you be overlooking what God values most? Pastor Jeff Schreve walks through Samuel’s search for Israel’s next king and uncovers the life-changing truth that God sees far beyond appearance, talent, and human credentials. Learn why David—the forgotten shepherd boy—was chosen by God and how the Lord still seeks hearts that belong completely to Him.
