Pastor Taylor Shippy - 1 Samuel 16:1-13
This morning, we explore the likely familiar story of David’s anointing in 1 Samuel 16—and how even the prophet Samuel nearly chose the wrong king. God challenges Samuel to see as He does—looking for qualities beyond the physical.
But what if God's challenge to Samuel is also our challenge? That God may be challenging us to see others the way He does—not by outward appearance alone, but with the eyes of grace, compassion, and discernment.
This morning we’re invited to adopt God’s vision: to look beyond the surface, notice the overlooked, and love others with the eyes of Jesus.
