The Apostle Paul writes “I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord” (Phil. 3:8). Does that sound like religious hyperbole? It’s been said that “the center, the jewel in the crown of Christianity is not just an idea, a system or a thing; it is not even’the gospel’ as such. It is Jesus Christ.”

Scripture Reference: 1 Samuel 16:1-13
As Samuel comes to anoint the new king of Israel, he is surprised by God’s choice of David. This initial meeting foreshadows how God will work in and through David. God is deeply concerned with people’s hearts AND will bring salvation by way of a humble and righteous king.

Scripture Reference: 1 Samuel 15:17-35
In order to fully understand David as the “man after God’s own heart” you have to see its opposite. King Saul is an example of a life lived in the allegiance to people’s opinions about him, and in the end, it cost him everything.
