#963 - Sermon – Calling

·16 min·1 clip
God rejects seven sons and chooses the shepherd boy David, showing He sees the heart, not appearances.
Chris Christensen delivers a sermon exploring two biblical stories: God's calling of David as king, emphasizing divine perspective over human judgment, and Jesus healing a man born blind, highlighting faith and spiritual insight. The episode connects these narratives to contemporary issues of leadership and perception.

Chris Christensen centers the sermon on 1 Samuel 16:1-13 and John 9:1-41, with most of the attention on John 9. Jesus answers the questions around the man born blind by saying the work of God could be shown, then heals him with mud and a visit to the pool of Salome.
