大衛: 合乎神心意的人 David: A Man After God’s Own Heart

David was not without sin and yet God described him as a man after God’s own heart. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung shows us how, at each crisis, David turned to the Lord with a sincere and repentant heart. By admitting his mistakes and seeking the Lord, David overcame his trials and won the Lord’s approval.

Translated to English by Bro. Isaac Cheung.

Read Today’s Scripture Passage

1 Samuel 25, 30; 2 Samuel 11
