The Anointed Heart

In his sermon on 1 Samuel 16:1-13, Pastor Tyler emphasizes the profound lesson of how David's heart played a crucial role in his journey to becoming king, rather than his talent or popularity. The passage recounts the moment when the prophet Samuel is sent by God to anoint the next king of Israel from among the sons of Jesse. When Samuel sees Jesse's eldest son, Eliab, he assumes that he is the chosen one because of his impressive appearance and qualities, but God corrects him, saying, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7, NIV). In his sermon, Pastor Tyler draws attention to the significance of David's heart, which sets him apart and ultimately leads him to the throne. David's heart was marked by humility, faith, courage, and deep devotion to God. His genuine love and desire to serve the Lord, even in the quiet fields as a shepherd, captured God's attention. It was David's heart that made him the ideal candidate for kingship. As Pastor Tyler relates this story to the installation of pastors Paul and Paula as co-senior pastors of Crossway Family Church, he highlights the importance of seeking leaders with hearts aligned with God's will rather than solely focusing on their talents or popularity. He reminds the congregation that God looks beyond appearances and looks for leaders with hearts filled with love, faith, and dedication to His purpose. During the installation ceremony, the church recognizes that Paul and Paula exemplify the qualities of David's heart. They have demonstrated a profound love for God and His people, faithfully serving the church with humility and devotion. The congregation rejoices in the knowledge that the leadership of Crossway Family Church will be guided not only by the talents and skills of the pastors but by their genuine hearts for God and His Kingdom. In conclusion, the sermon on 1 Samuel 16:1-13 emphasizes the significance of David's heart in his rise to kingship, serving as a powerful reminder that leaders chosen by God are those with hearts dedicated to Him. As pastors Paul and Paula are installed as co-senior pastors of Crossway Family Church, the congregation celebrates and looks forward to their leadership guided by hearts full of love and faith, trusting that they are chosen by God for this role.
