Sower Church

Amen. Good morning, Happy New Year. Merry Christmas. Good to see you all today. We’re excited about this new Siri’s looking for a leader. First Samuel, it’s It’s one of those unique times in the nation visuals history where they’re moving on between transitioning between the wild, Wild West judges season of their leadership structure to the first monarch. There’s a lot of fun wild stories in this in this book, so I’m looking forward to that before that. Welcome again in person. Welcome online. Thank you for joining us. It’s been very encouraging. And it feels like the wild wild west of the first book of Samuel. The time of judges like the Internet so wild and will be place. And it’s been some amazing how some amazing stories have come out of our livestream. There’s live people in our live stream and there and God’s. Using this church is small efforts of communicating the gospel in the Bible and some amazing ways, and it z always. It’s kind of ironic and weird and new and exciting, but I’ll meet some of the lobby at the first or second service, and in my mind, I mean them for the first time in their mind, they’ve been watching and following along for a great deal of time. And so it’s been a blessing. It’s been amazing how God is using technology like he always has to reach people. So thank you for joining us online. Thank you for coming in person. I’m excited about this subject this morning. Let me pray before we jump into it. Is that okay? God, I just bow your heads with me. Let’s pray. God, I thank you for the word of God. I pray that your word would instruct the people who’ve got, uh, combined. If the spirit of God you encourage us, you convict us, you challenge us. Lord, I ask that you would just use your word in a powerful way like you always dio I prayed people would hear from you. Take Bob. I don’t care if they hear from me. I prayed they would hear from you and your word this morning. Convict Encourage challenge. Correct. Lord, use your word the way you dio in the people’s lives. Jesus name. We pray this. Amen. Alright, so back story first Samuel, Um it is ah transition period for the people of God the nation of Israel. It starts off with, ah, unique birth story of Of Samuel, his back story of how he came about the story of his his mother’s faith. Hannah. We follow that narrative of Samuel to Elijah to solve to King David all those kings that you probably knew about and heard about in ST school you probably didn’t know about and hear about the story we’re going to cover today. Two weeks from now, there’s some unique fun. Stories will be coming, but it’s a different style of writing. It’s not gospel writing accounts. It’s not short epistle letter accounts from Leader to leader of churches, its’s narrative writing, its narrative historical preaching. So there’s a variety of stuff, and I will summarize, and we’ll improve our summary ization skills as pastors. But we’re going to summarize the chapter to you a supposed to reading two chapters to start our sermon, and then I’ll go back and I’ll cherry pick and highlight and pull forward lessons that have stood out in my preparation for this passage. So I am. I’m excited. So searching for a leader, um, it seems like the number one indicating factor of what we can or can’t do as a church is that ratio of leadership, how many leaders we have, a leaders capacity, their availability, the leadership pipeline we have or don’t have for certain ministry or certain work? It seems like the biggest pain point for what we can or can’t dio is the capacity we have of available leadership. And I’m excited about what God is doing when the leadership team of our church, how God’s and raising up a variety of young men and women who love the Lord and God is leading them individually as individuals.…
