    Too often, young people are told that they aren’t good enough, experienced enough, or educated enough. Meanwhile, talent and gifts are going unused.

    Tonight, I want to start right off by jumping into the Word and looking at a passage about a young boy being used by God in a big way. Let’s open our Bibles to 1 Samuel 16:1-13. ***Have a youth read 1 Samuel 16:1-13*** As we pick up our text, a man named Saul has been King of Israel. In fact, he ...read more

    Without the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit, we would be nothing more than a social gathering of friendly people. We have not come here today to only be entertained with good music and a speaker telling us all how to live.

    WHERE IS THE HORN OF OIL? Text: I Samuel 16:1, 13 – 14 In the recent weeks we have had many services in which we have looked closely at the importance of being in the presence of the Holy Spirit. This emphasis on the Holy Spirit is very important for us to consider as individuals and as a ...read more

    Why is obedience more important to God than sacrifice? Obedience is more important than sacrifice because we can sacrifice without loving God, but we obey God because we love Him. Jesus said (John 14:15 NIV) "If you love me, you will obey what I comman

    Obedience over Sacrifice By Greg Johnson May 6, 2007 http://www.LovingGodFellowship.org One of King Saul’s major flaws was that he tried to spiritualize his disobedience to God and His Word. He was neither authentic nor transparent and was constantly trying to act spiritual in the midst of his ...read more

    part 2 of series Facing Your Giants, the credit for the idea comes from Max Lucado’s book by the same title. This deals with how God uses those whom we see as unusable. David was the runt of the litter, God used him for great things.

    Rejection: 1972 was a bittersweet year for me. I graduated from High School (YAY), I had a good part in the school musical (YAY). I remember these times with great fondness, there were also the bad times. I had tried out for a semi-pro theatre group, I thought I had a great audition and really ...read more

    Those in positions of leadership answer to God. When they desert God and go their own way, God can humble them.

    Doing What God Asks Us To Do!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jul 9, 2006

     | 4,231 views

    God gave Saul an instruction but Saul only half-carried it out. This short homily is a challenge to us: Let’s do all that God asks us to do; nothing more AND nothing less!

    In these days of terrorism this Bible event is hard for us to understand; and I know of one or two people who have rejected God because of it. The irony is of course that the story is primarily kept for us as a warning not to reject God’s instructions! Hundreds of years ago, stories such as this ...read more
