A Heart Like God... 2 Samuel 11, 12 & 24

Nov 9, 2025    Kent Smith

In this week's message "A Heart Like God,” we explore how David’s life reveals the process of developing a heart aligned with God’s will. It contrasts God’s choice of David with Saul’s rejection, emphasizing that God values inner character over outward appearance. Through two defining moments—David’s sin with Bathsheba and his decision to take a census—the study illustrates how failure, repentance, and obedience shape spiritual maturity. The presentation highlights David’s humility and his refusal to offer to God “that which costs me nothing,” showing that genuine devotion requires personal sacrifice. Ultimately, it calls believers to follow David’s example by accepting responsibility, living sacrificially, and pursuing holiness as they grow into people after God’s own heart.
