David // July 13th - Week 4 // Sound House Church

This sermon, part of the "DAVID" series, contrasts two kings: one who outwardly displays worship to God, acts with zeal, and sacrifices for Him, and another  when motives are revealed show outwardly religious acts are driven by fear, pride, and greed, revealing a heart that attempts to manipulate God. Yet they are the same King.  Through a deep dive into 1 Samuel 13-16, the sermon explores critical questions about waiting on God, the dangers of trying to steer divine action with religious practices, and the importance of pure intentions. It highlights Saul's disobedience and self-serving motives, contrasting them with the faith God desires, ultimately urging listeners to examine their own hearts and serve God with humility and genuine devotion, not in vain.
