When God wants to do something new, he starts with the heart. God works overtime with his people, individually and collectively, to get hearts right. If we want to be individuals and churches that God can and will use, then we have to let God develop, shape and mature us.
One very good example is David, a flawed, passionate man whom God used in mighty ways. God was able to develop David into a great leader because he was "a man after God's own heart" (1 Samuel 13:14; Acts 13:22). We will look at how God developed David into a great man and a great leader. We will see how God developed not just one man, but a people for himself. And we will see how God can make of us a life that He uses.
