God Looks at the Heart

September 10, 2023 by Brad Murphy

This entry is part 1 of 9 in the series DAVID: A Man After God's Own Heart

Week 1 – DAVID: A Man After God’s Own Heart

SERMON 10 September 2023, 10:30 a.m.

Today @EagleLifeChurch, we begin our fall sermon series on the life of King David, “A Man After God’s Own Heart.”

In this series, you will discover what it means to chase God’s heart, and how to cultivate a life of faithfulness even when you blow it, or life entangles you in tragedy, betrayal, lust, and power.

In today’s message, God exposes the empty vanity of human perspective and anoints the one He chooses because of their heart.

From 1 Samuel 16:1-12, we learn what it means to be called of God and anointed for a purpose.

Soar Like a Saguaro

SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 19:21; 2 Timothy 1:6-7; Ephesians 6:10-18; Colossians 2:6-7; Jeremiah 17:7-8 (ESV)

For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, 7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

2 Timothy 1:6-7 (ESV)
  1. Know Your PURPOSE
  2. ARMOR Up
  3. GROW in the waiting

Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

Colossians 2:6-7 (ESV)

How to Discern and Overcome Error

Scripture: 1 John 3:24, 4:1-6

 24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

1 John 3:18-24 (ESV)
  1. The Discerning Believer TESTS Every Spirit (1 Jn 4.1, Jer 29:8, 2 Cor 11.13-16, Deut 13, Jer 23, Jn 14.6, Gal 1.8, Matt 7.15-20)
  2. The Discerning Believer CONFESSES Jesus (1 Jn 4.2-3,)
  3. The Discerning Believer OVERCOMES the World (1 Jn 4.4-6)

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. 4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

1 John 4:1-6 (ESV, emphasis added)

Four Levels of Relationship

Scripture: 1 John 3:11-24, Matthew 7:15-20

For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12 We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him?

1 John 3:11-17 (ESV)
  1. Murder (1 John 3.11-12, John 8:44, Genesis 4:1-16, Hebrews 11:4)
  2. Hate (1 John 3.13-15, Matthew 5:21)
  3. Indifference (1 John 3.16-17, John 3:16)
  4. Christian Love (1 John 3.18-24, James 2:15-16)*

*Outline from, Wiersbe, Warren W. The Bible Exposition Commentary. Vol. 2. Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1996. Print.

 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; 20 for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 22 and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.
