In this sermon, Paul makes mention of the church’s “election of God” (1 Th. 1:4). Many have twisted this doctrine to teach that God has simply chosen to send some people to heaven and some to hell. By comparing scripture with scripture, the Bible clearly teaches that the church’s election is according to God’s foreknowledge that we would receive Christ willingly, by grace through faith.

In this sermon, we examine the stark contrasts between David, a type of Christ, and Saul, a type of the anti-christ. As David is anointed to replace Saul as king, the Spirit of the Lord comes upon him - and an evil spirit comes upon Saul.

In this sermon, Samuel is mourning the failure of Sail. Nevertheless, the prophet is sent by God to discover the next king of Israel. This week, we are introduced to "the man after God's own heart." Though the youngest of his brethren and a lowly shepherd, the LORD looks upon David's heart and sees in him the humble qualities of a future leader.
