Selected highlights from this sermon

Humanity evaluates and judges people based on appearances, and revering people who display intelligence, charisma, and attractiveness. But God sees us differently. He looks at our hearts—and He knows our hearts completely.

Samuel was commanded by God to anoint a new king, and though David wasn’t perfect by any standard, God knew his heart and chose him. Our God still does great things with those the world sees as insignificant.
