The Ancestors of David's Father by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

1 Samuel 12:15-Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: In this passage, we are going to get a glimpse of some of the background and the folks in David’s family, as well as a look at the character of David at this time in his life. We do an analysis in this message of David’s name. We look at its meaning and even the meanings of the letters. The name “David” serves as a reminder that God can work through imperfect people, just as He did with David. David was a sinner with weaknesses and faults like everyone else. God, however, chose him to be the king. He was a man after God's own heart, and the Lord saw that attitude in his heart. By the way, God sees your attitude and heart, too. We also take time to look at David and his importance in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in Matthew 1. We take a look at Jesse, the father of David, and his importance in the Scriptures. This message was preached on Wednesday night, October 8, 2025, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
