This Sunday at Hudson's Hope Chapel, we begin After God's Own Heart, a new series following the life of David from the sheepfold, through years on the run, onto the throne, into grievous sin, and toward the promise of a better King.
David is remembered for courage, worship, and remarkable trust. He is also a deeply flawed man who abuses power, harms others, and needs mercy. So how, then, can Scripture call him "a man after God's own heart"?
In 1 Samuel 13, the phrase appears before David is even named. It begins not with David's spiritual achievement but with the Lord choosing a king for Himself. David's life then shows grace forming, confronting, forgiving, and repeatedly drawing a wandering heart back toward God's will.
Yet David cannot finally carry our hope. Acts 13 leads from God's chosen servant to Jesus, the perfectly obedient Son of David who dies, rises, and proclaims forgiveness to everyone who believes.
Join us live as we worship together, hear from God's Word, begin this new series, and come to the Lord's Table.
