Notes:

Matthew 6:21
Men and Women after God’s own heart – Acts 13:22
1 Samuel 13:5-14, 15:10-26, 16:6-13

How were Saul and David similar?

  1. Both were anointed to reign over God’s people – same calling
  2. Both had the Spirit of the Lord come upon them (1 Samuel 10)
  3. Both committed significant sins against the Lord
  4. When confronted both Saul and David apologized (2 Samuel 12)

What is the difference between them?
Looks can be deceiving, even to ourselves (Lord looks at heart) – Matthew 25:31-45
Saul excused sin, David acknowledged
