Has anyone ever made a promise to you that they did not keep? In 1 Samuel 19, we are going to look at four promises made to David by four different people. Not all of them kept their promises, but we'll see that God did keep HIS promises to David. Saul is continuing his efforts to kill David and in this passage, even tries to convince his son, Jonathan to assist him. But, Jonathan is faithful to his covenant with David and God used Jonathan's faithfulness to his friend to fulfill HIS covenant with the future king.

Today on After God's Heart, Dr. Biles finishes a message called Coping with Success. The success of David exposed a character flaw in Saul. In reality, David's defeat of Goliath led to Israel's victory over the Philistines. His success was Israel's success. But, rather than celebrating with David, Saul resented him. It wasn't long before that resentment led Saul down a downward spiral of anger and hate that would mark the rest of his life. Even though David defeated their enemy, Saul's son Jonathan was his best friend, and Saul's daughter loved David, Saul tried to kill him ... FIVE times! Take your Bibles and turn to 1 Samuel 18 as Dr. Biles continues a message on how to handle success.

How do you respond when God blesses somebody else? Are you happy? Or, is there just a small part of you that is jealous and maybe wishing it had happened to you instead of them? Today, on After God's Heart, Dr. Biles is continuing a series through the life of David. The passage we will look at is right after God used David to defeat the Philistine giant, Goliath. The lesson we will learn from this passage is a lesson all of us need to learn about handling success.

Today on After God's Heart, Dr. Biles continues his message entitled, "Is There Not a Cause?" David is on the battlefield facing his greatest enemy. His enemy is bigger and has better weapons, more armor, and more experience. But, David came to the battlefield with someone the giant didn't have. David came in the power of God.

Today, on After God's Heart, Dr. Biles looks at the battle between David and Goliath. It's a great story of God's work in David's life. But, as we'll see, it's much more than that - it's a story of how God works in our lives when we have faith to trust Him.

Today on After God's Heart, Dr. Biles continues a message entitled, Even if We Didn't Notice. The text for the message is 1 Sam. 16:14-23. The occasion was right after God rejected Saul as king and chose David as his replacement. But, Saul was the last person to notice what God was doing. In fact, Saul never seemed to see it! Let's listen to learn how not to miss what God is doing.

Today, on After God's Heart, Dr. Biles looks at a time when God was doing something in both Saul's life and David's life. Only Saul didn't notice! Saul saw David. But, what he saw in David was what everybody else saw about David. Saul saw his physical appearance, his musical skill, and his military ability. Eventually, Saul noticed that when David was around him, good things happened to him; and when David was not in his presence, bad things happened. But what Saul didn't notice was the Spirit of God had left him.

Today on After God's Heart, Dr. Biles continues a message entitled, The Choice of a New Generation. Israel's first king rejected God's will and pursued his own plans. 1 Samuel 16 is the beginning of God's provision of a new king for His people. We will see what God was looking for in His choice and learn lessons from our choices.

As we saw last week, ACT 13 is one of two places in the Bible where David was described as a man after God's Heart. The focus of this study is not as much on David as it is on God. Our goal isn't to be like David but to be like the one whom God was seeking. Let's listen as Dr. Biles finishes a message from Acts 13, entitled, Seek and He Shall Find.
