Here is a summary of 1 Samuel 16: David spends his days with sheep. One day the prophet Samuel shows up and, to everyone's surprise, anoints young David as the next king of Israel. Samuel leaves and David returns to his sheep.

Something doesn't add up. Surely sheep should no longer be a part of David's life. Right?

In this message we look at how God used this time to form David into the man and leader that he would become. We see the three disciplines of solitude, obscurity, and monotony as tools that God uses to shape hearts.
