Pain Brings Potential


Listen Later

morning. Welcome. Good to see you all. I got my notes open here. Yes, we’re good. So I heard a pastor friend described leading a church during Covid as hang up. There we go Group project You ever heard of everyone would ever do a group project growing up in high school or college. They were terrible and I was the worst group Project person always cherry picking other people’s work. So I hate group projects. Got some A’s out of those group projects, but I didn’t do a work and so covid leading a church during covid. Kinda like leading a big group project. And so there’s many people in many different places as we keep moving the team downfield. I just thank you for the freedom to try stuff as a church. One. Leadership blessed. I think we’ve learned from many, but one is every Covid plan you have as a church is subject to change with the whims of covid, and so we we as a church, it’s our hope and our prayer, like all of you, that our country and our society will progress back to more of a norm and praise God. The numbers have been coming down as a nation. That’s celebratory. And so it’s our hope and prayer that in the future, coming weeks and months, we could, you know, lean into making this just a mask. Optional service and the first one is a mass required service. That’s kind of our hope. Hopefully, we can do that in the future, but I’m we are hoping to bring back next Sunday the 21st Sunday school. So that’s a step in the in the direction of returning to life as we know it. And so we’ll be offering a mask Sunday school at 9 a.m. And at 10 30 Sunday school. That reflects this room, if that makes sense. So if you have any thoughts, concerns, questions just grabbed me afterwards. We can talk about it. I think already talk to all your parents. So if your parents have any thoughts concerning the questions, let me know. I’ve already talked. I think almost all your parents in this room. So, um, that’s our hope and prayer. That’s exciting. Um, I let’s pray. Let’s jump right into it this morning. God, thank you for today. Thank you for what we’re looking at today. And Samuel, we love you. We trust you. You’ve been a good god to us. You’ve taken good care of us as individuals and as a collective group. This last year, we just It’s been a different year. It’s been a tough year. It’s been an interesting year. It’s been a brutal year for many people. Lord, I feel like I’ve become an old man this last year. I thank you for what? You’ve leadership lessons you’ve been teaching me. You’ve been teaching all of us. You’ve been drawing us closer to you. Jesus in the wilderness. Lord, I thank you that it seems like things are training in the right direction. I purchased. Really Help us to finish. Well, we love you. I picked you. Just get all you can out of these passages. We’re looking at this morning. Really. Just imprint our souls. Our hearts, our minds just really imprint us as a young church. With the lessons we see in the Scripture today we commit this time to you, Lord, glorify your name with your word in your church. Jesus name we pray. Amen. All right, So 1st and 2nd Samuel, if you’ve done like an eyeball test. There is I proposed to you. There’s more of your Bible that is built around David before David, during David and after David than the four Gospels. You get what I’m saying and if you add on top of that half of the Book of Psalms. David wrote 75 of 150 chapters in The Book of Psalms, David wrote, We know more. I propose about what David is thinking and feeling whatever other people are doing than any other character in the Bible. I mean, today’s passage.
