Summary
The sermon uses the examples of David, Joseph, and Abel to illustrate that God often chooses those whom man despises or overlooks. The central message is that God opposes the proud, whether it is pride in wealth, position, or perceived righteousness. True favor with God is found in humility and an honest acknowledgment of one's own failures.

How did David begin his life?David started very well as a young boy who was faithful in looking after his father's sheep and writing songs of praise to God.
Why did Samuel go to Jesse's house?The Lord told Samuel that He had rejected Saul and sent him to select the next king of Israel from the sons of Jesse.
Why was David left out?Jesse called seven of his sons but left out David because none of them thought much of the young boy and simply disregarded him.
What did God see in David?God saw sincerity, brokenness, humility, a hunger after God, and a deep faith that enabled David to kill a lion and a bear to protect his sheep.1 Samuel 17:34–35
What happened after David was anointed?The Spirit of the Lord came upon David, while an evil spirit took over Saul's life because Saul was jealous and frequently tried to kill David.1 Samuel 16:13
Why did David fight Goliath?David fought Goliath because he was concerned that God's name was being dishonored by a man defying the armies of God.
How did David treat Saul when given the opportunity to kill him?When Saul entered a cave unaware, David's men urged him to kill Saul, but David refused to grab the kingdom and only cut a corner of Saul's robe.1 Samuel 24:4
What is the attitude of a man after God's own heart?A godly man never grabs anything for himself, believing that whatever God wants him to have will be given at the right time.
When did David become king?God had planned for David to sit on the throne when he was thirty years old, and he became king at that exact age after a time of preparation.2 Samuel 5:4
What was David's big mistake?David stayed home instead of going out to battle when kings normally went, leading him to fall into temptation with Bathsheba.
How did David respond after his sin?After God sent Nathan to rebuke him, David showed humility by publicly writing Psalm 51 to acknowledge his sin before all of Israel.
What warning is found in David's final words?Although David outwardly forgave Shimei for cursing him, he kept bitterness in his heart for years and told Solomon to kill Shimei just before he died.2 Samuel 16:51 Kings 2:8
What is the final encouragement from David's life?Despite his failures, David was honest and acknowledged his sin, proving that God can still use ordinary people who remain humble and honest.
