Saul and David with the Word of God
Paul Pierucki · May 24, 2026 · 11:00 AM service
Pastor Pierucki continues his book by book overview of 1 Samuel, focusing on the difference between Saul and David. Beginning at 1 Samuel 16:7, he shows that God looks on the heart rather than the outward appearance, and that the real difference between the two kings was their respect for and faith in the Word of God. Along the way he warns against judging people by dress and appearance from James 2, points to Jonathan laying down his armor as a picture of resting in Christ's victory over death, and testifies of his own salvation and the freedom from guilt and condemnation found in Romans 6 and 8.
“But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”
