We’re wrapping up the Heart of a Warrior with the third and final part of our series! We’ve been diving into the life of King David and working through a character study in which we look at David’s life and actually put ourselves into his story. This allows God’s word and the life of David’s character to speak to us and help transform our own lives and relationships with God. 

In part 1 of our series, Calling & Character, we went through David’s early life and his time as a shepherd as God anointed David to become king. In part 2, Successes & Setbacks, we covered the middle chunk of David’s life and his time as king where we evaluated his wins and also uncovered and learned from the areas where David fell short. 

In part 3, Legacy & Lineage, Eric Jones highlights the end of David’s life with the legacy he left behind. We know that David was described in the Bible as “a man after God’s own heart,”...

In Part 2 of The Heart of a Warrior, our 3-part series covering the life of David, we continue learning how to become people after God’s own heart. If you haven’t seen Part 1 of the series, Calling & Character, be sure to check it out and prepare your heart for the next chapter in our character study! 

As we continue putting ourselves into David’s story to discover more about life and faith, Eric Jones both encourages and strengthens us throughout his message, Success & Setbacks. In Part 1 of our series, we juxtaposed David’s kingship with his predecessor’s, King Saul. 

Saul’s selfish way of living and unwillingness to change his ways and realign himself with the Lord ultimately led to his demise and destruction. In God’s perfect timing, David takes his place as King of Israel, as we see below in 2 Samuel, continuing through David’s story. 

2 Samuel 5:3-4 (NLT) 3So there at Hebron, King David made a covenant...

We’re kicking off a brand new series, The Heart of a Warrior, where we’re learning about the life of David and discovering for ourselves how to be people after God’s own heart. Throughout this character study, we are diving into the Word and putting ourselves in David’s story as a way to learn from his experiences in life as we grow and develop in our relationship with God. In Part 1 of this series, we’re covering 3 characteristics of David that allowed him to be described as a person after God’s own heart, as Eric Jones brings an encouraging word that both uplifts and inspires us to pursue God passionately, as David did. 

Who is David?

In his message, Calling & Character, Eric starts off by sharing some background information about David, who, by the end of his life, became one of the most famous  men in all of Scripture. Did you know…David is in the Bible more than 1,000 times…that’s more than Abraham, Moses, or...
