God's chosen King was "a man after his own heart". In 1 Samuel 16, God takes David from the sheep pastures and anoints him as King over Israel because he was this man. Ultimately, David's anointing as King points us to Jesus Christ, the "Messiah" or "Anointed One".

Living in Exile
May 19, 2024 • David Horner • 1 Samuel 19, Psalm 59
In 1 Samuel 19, Saul's murderous intentions against David are no longer a secret and David is forced to flee. From this time on, he will live as an exile until he comes to the throne. Peter described the Christian life as the life of an exile. Since our citizenship is in heaven, all those in Christ live as exiles on this earth. This week Pastor David preaches a message about "Living in Exile" from 1 Samuel 19.
Hannah's Prayer
May 12, 2024 • Doug Horner • 1 Samuel 1
The prophet Samuel, whom God used to establish the kingship in Israel and anoint King David, had a godly mother. Hannah, who was barren, prayed to the Lord and God gave her Samuel. The impact that a godly mother has on a life can't be measured. Pastor Doug Horner preaches on Hannah's prayer in 1 Samuel 1.
