038. [1 Samuel 16:1-13] David and Samuel: Appearance Is Everything?
The American Association of Plastic Surgeons reported that there were 11.7 million cosmetic surgeries performed in America in 2007. Humanity is obsessed with appearance. But when Samuel searches for a new king of Israel, we discover that the Lord looks on the heart. This is a frightening reality, because the Lord sees each sinful and selfish desire of our heart. But as Paul David Tripp preaches, we don't have to live in fear, because Christ came to pay the penalty for our hearts and now lives inside of us to reclaim its worship.Preached on September 14, 2008.
