1. The Heart

2. 1 Samuel 16:7 ‘But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance but the Lord looks at the heart.’ Acts 13:22 ‘After removing Saul, He made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him too.’ The Heart

3. What was it that caused God to say that David was a man after His own heart? Psalm 132 Lord, remember David and all his self-denial. He swore an oath to the Lord, he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob: ‘I will not enter my house or go to my bed, I will allow no sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, till ………. The Heart

4. ……till I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.’ V8 Arise, Lord, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might. The Heart

5. Importance of the Ark Construction of the Ark

6. Inside the Ark

7. The Heart 1 John 2:2. ‘And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.’ KJV

8. The Heart God does not want the law to be exposed because it represents our sin and rebellion and only brings death and condemnation. The judgement we deserve fell on Jesus while the blessings He deserved fell on us!!!!

9. The Heart Destination of the Ark Mount Zion not Mount Sinai Why? Zion represents grace, Sinai represents law.

10. The Heart Application of the Ark David pursued the Ark of the Covenant and God called him a man after his own heart. Pursue Jesus and make him the centrepiece of every aspect of your life just as David did.
