In this powerful teaching, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches continues her study on the life of David, diving deep into God's perspective on righteousness and the significance of the heart. Through 1 Samuel 16 and other key scriptures, Dr. Funches reminds listeners that man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. She encourages believers to stop judging themselves—or others—based on performance or external standards and instead receive the gift of righteousness that comes by faith in Jesus Christ. This episode is a call to stop striving for approval through self-righteousness and to rest in the righteousness that God freely gives. Using David's story, Dr. Funches paints a compelling picture of how even when man overlooks us—sometimes even those closest to us—God still appoints and anoints according to His purpose. If God chose David, the overlooked shepherd boy, He can and has chosen you. Key Takeaways: God's standard is the heart: He does not judge by outward appearance (1 Samuel 16). Self-righteousness is rejected: It's not about what you do or don't do—true righteousness is a gift received by faith in Jesus. You are already righteous: If you believe in Jesus, you are clothed in God's own righteousness—nothing you do can add to that. You may be overlooked by people—but not by God: Even David's own father and brothers didn't consider him, but God appointed him king. Your calling is from God: Man may appoint leaders, but true spiritual authority and calling come from God Himself. Don't miss God: Even without external validation, remain faithful and confident in what God has said and shown you.   Love the show ?
