The Life of David - Part 1 - The Cost of Pleasing People

The Life of David – Part 1: The Price of Pleasing People
Welcome to the first message in our brand-new series The Life of David! In this powerful sermon, we explore what happens when we seek the approval of people more than the approval of God. Looking at the story of King Saul in 1 Samuel 15, we learn a vital truth: Obedience is better than sacrifice.

Through Saul’s failure to follow God’s clear instructions, we see how people-pleasing can come at a high cost — even the loss of a kingdom. But this isn’t just Saul’s story; it’s a warning for all of us. Where are we placing our value? Is our identity rooted in God or in the opinions of others?

Join us on this journey through the life of David — the highs, the lows, and what it really means to live with a heart after God.

📖 Scripture: 1 Samuel 15
🙌 Key Theme: Obedience over approval
🧭 Takeaway: Build your life on the rock of God's word, not the shifting sands of public opinion.
