In the closing message of our series on the life of David, Pastor Brandon Woodward—lead pastor of Union City Church in Washington, D.C. and brother to Pastor Dustin Woodward—brings a powerful and heartfelt word about what it truly means to be a person after God’s own heart.

From David’s humble beginnings to his final days as king, this message traces the journey of a man who wasn’t defined by perfection but by pursuit. Even through failure, grief, and success, David never stopped chasing after the presence of God.

In this sermon, Pastor Brandon unpacks four defining qualities of a heart that gets God’s attention:

• A heart that seeks His presence more than position or power

• A heart that studies His precepts and builds life on His Word

• A heart that sings His praises in every season

• A heart that serves His purposes above personal ambition

You’ll be reminded that God isn’t looking for perfection—He’s looking for devotion. He’s searching for men and women who will love what He loves, care about what He cares about, and live fully surrendered to His will.

As Pastor Brandon shares, “Legacy isn’t about what you leave behind, but what you set in motion.” Let this message inspire you to seek God wholeheartedly and live a life that moves His heart.
