Senior Minister, Austin Weece | October 19th, 2025 - I Samuel 16:1-13, A messy story of how God values the heart over the outward appearance | When God was ready to choose the next king of Israel, he sent his servant to the home of Jesse in Bethlehem. To Jesse’s great surprise, the one chosen was the qatan, the least of his sons, who was left out in the fields. David was chosen because he was a man after God’s own heart (I Samuel 13:14). And to David would come the promise of an eternal kingdom, which is fulfilled in Jesus.
