In David: Portrait of a Champion, Dr. Michael Youssef takes us through the amazing victories, tragic losses, and difficult trials of Israel’s greatest king. Learn why God called David a man after His own heart, and discover the change He wants to make in your heart, too.

In Champions Have Courage Not Contempt, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals how true courage is marked by humility, not arrogance. From 1 Samuel 18, we see David’s rising favor, not just with men, but with God—because his heart remained steadfast and pure. Unlike King Saul, whose jealousy turned to rage, David refused to grasp at power or repay evil for evil. Jonathan, Saul’s son, recognized God’s anointing on David and surrendered his royal rights—a powerful picture of submission to God’s will. Dr. Youssef challenges believers to use every blessing, success, and possession for the Lord’s glory, not self. Champions of the faith trust God’s timing, walk in righteousness, and resist the temptation to control. Will you?
