This sermon was preached by Justin Rogers on September 25, 2023 and is part 3 of the series David: A Man After God's Own Heart. 

If you have a sibling, you know that you can be raised in the same circumstance and turn out completely different from one another. Certain personality traits and dispositions influence your response to similar variables with different results. 

The same thing exists in relationship with God. He displays himself to us all, but we do not always respond the same way. For David and Saul, they have similar stories about how they are raised up by God to be King from nothing, but they couldn't be more different as kings. Which of them will you model yourself after?
