About this episode

The episode explores the characteristics that make David a 'Man Like God's Heart' and how individuals can embody similar qualities.

1 Samuel 16 is the story of two main characters. Firstly, it is still about the current King Saul, the “Man After His Own Heart”, but secondly, we are also introduced to a new character David, “A Man Like God’s Heart” – the future king. In this message we dig into why David is called a “Man Like God’s Heart” and how we too can become Men and Women “like God’s heart”.
