The Shepherd King : Doing God's Will in Gods Way
🎙️ Episode Title: The Shepherd King: God's Will in God's Way
📅 Original Sermon Date: August 20, 1989
📖 Series: The Life of David
👤 Speaker: Pastor Chuck Rains
🎧 Hosted by: Marcus Onate
🎚️ Archive Source: Fellowship Bible Church Tape Archives
📌 Summary:
In this sermon from 2 Samuel 5, Pastor Rains explores how David's rise to kingship illustrates the importance of doing God’s will in God’s way. While David was clearly God’s chosen, the path to his rightful reign required faith, patience, and integrity—not manipulation or force. Pastor Rains contrasts David's approach with those who acted out of self-will, like Abner, Joab, and the assassins of Ish-bosheth, emphasizing that divine purpose must never be fulfilled through fleshly means.
🧠 Key Themes:
David was anointed to lead—not by man’s appointment, but by God’s call.
Examples from Abner and Ish-bosheth highlight how personal agendas lead to destruction.
Even when given the chance, David refused to take the throne by violence or vengeance.
God called David not just to rule, but to shepherd His people—leading, feeding, and protecting them.
Through David’s story, we see a shadow of Jesus, the Good, Great, and Chief Shepherd, who leads in love and righteousness.
📖 Scripture References:
🧾 Notable Quotes:
“You don't accomplish the will of God by the power of your flesh.”
“If God put him there, God has to remove him.”
“David had to learn that if he was going to be king God’s way, he had to first be a shepherd.”
“Love knows no limit.”
🙏 Application:
This episode challenges listeners to examine how they pursue their calling—whether in leadership, family, ministry, or daily life. Are we seeking to fulfill God's purpose by relying on our own strength and timing? Or are we walking in humility, patience, and surrender, allowing God to lead?
