In 2007, Americans underwent 11.7 million cosmetic surgeries—a staggering reminder of our obsession with appearances. But when Samuel went looking for Israel’s next king, God reminded him that while people look at the outward appearance, the Lord looks at the heart. And that’s a sobering thought, because God sees every sinful, selfish desire that hides there.

In today’s episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, David: A Matter of the Heart. In this message, Paul reminds us that we don’t have to live in fear of what God sees—because Jesus paid the penalty for our sin-stained hearts and now lives within us to reclaim our worship.
