  • Kings and Kingdoms #6 | Sunday Service

    1 Samuel 17

    Summary of the Message

    God gave victory through weakness. Even though David was fragile and not battle-ready, God gave him victory. Israel won the battle against the Philistines. God gave David an opportunity, and contrary to how Saul behaved, David didn't see the obstacles, he just saw that God would be by his side.

    1 Samuel 16

    Isaiah 53.3-4 NIV

    3 He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. 4 Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.

    1 Corinthians 5.2 NIV

    2You are so proud of yourselves, but you should be mourning in sorrow and shame. And you should remove this man from your fellowship.

    Joshua 7.10 NIV

    10 The Lord said to Joshua, “Stand up! What are you doing down on your face?

    Proverbs 4.23 NIV

    23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. The heart determines the life and only God can see the heart.


    Summary of the Message

    Samuel had the mission of anointing the new king. He went over to Jesse's house and again Samuel was looking at the appearance and not the heart of Jesse's son. David was the chosen king-to-be, he went from field to throne. And God started guiding this new path of the kingdom.

    1 Samuel 11.13 NIV

    But Saul said, “No one will be put to death today, for this day the Lord has rescued Israel.”

    Hebrews 6:12 NIV

    We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. Our faith should inspire people.

    James 1:1-8 NIV

    1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings. 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.


    Summary of the Message

    Saul was the king and he gave glory to God when winning battles. Samuel saw those victories as an opportunity to renew the kingdom, he always reinforced that Saul was an earthly king but the Lord was the heavenly king. Samuel also defended his own ministry and showed that all those victories were because the Lord was with Israel. Saul started to build an army, but he failed in 4 aspects: (1) he failed to act decisively (verses 1-4); (2) he failed to inspire the people (verses 5-7); (3) he failed to wait (verses 8-9); and (4) he failed to tell the truth (verses 10-15).

    1 Samuel 16.14 NKJV

    But the Sipirt of the Lord departed from Saul, and a distressing spirit from the Lord troubled him.

    Summary of the Message

    Although God and Samuel didn't consider it was the appropriate time for Israel to have a king, Saul was assigned to the task.

    God showed Saul that He was in control. God also showed that He could supply for his needs. Lastly, God showed that he could provide Saul with the power to do the service.

  • #3TWGG - Walk in step with the Holy Spirit

    Talk as you Walk, Grow as you Go 

    Walk in step with the Holy Spirit

    Get refined in the fire

    • The Holy Spirit will come like a refining fire to bring power and purity in your life. Knowing the refining fire of the Spirit in this life means that you can be free from the fear of the fire of judgment when Jesus returns. 

      • Be filled with peace. 

      • The dove is a symbol of peace that the Holy Spirit brings to your life. The ‘fruit of the Spirit is… peace. 

        • Be assured of your adoption 

        • A voice from heaven said, ‘This is my Son’

          • Know that you are loved by God

          • The apostle Paul writes that God’s love for you is poured into your heart by the Holy SpiritThe voice from heaven said ‘… whom I love...

            • Feel his pleasure

            • Again, it was supremely true of Jesus but as you walk in step with the Spirit, you too can experience this sense of God’s delight and pleasure.

            • #2 TWGG - Walk with your head held high
              • Life is not easy

                • This psalm was written during a rebellion by David’s son Absalom that had been partly caused by David’s adultery

                2 Samuel 12:11 Thus says the Lord, ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house. And I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun. Yet David repented of what he had done, and God forgave him and restored his relationship. David did not have an easy life: Psalm 3V1 O Lord, I have so many enemies; so many are against me. 2 So many are saying, “God will never rescue him!”

                • David cries out to God 

                  • Bring your fears and requests to God: ‘But you, God, shield me on all sides; you ground my feet, you lift my head high… ’ (v.3, MSG).

                  Like David, bring your fears and requests to God: ‘To the Lord I cry aloud, and he answers me from his holy hill’ (v.4).

                  In spite of his distressing situation, God lifted up David’s head. God does not want you to be downcast. Don’t keep looking at the regrets behind you, the problems around you, and the sin within you. Rather, lift up your head and see the help above you – walk with your head held high, and your eyes fixed on him.

                  • Deep Peace

                    • David was able to say, ‘I lie down and sleep; I wake again because the Lord sustains me. I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side’ (vv.5–6). In spite of all the troubles, he seems to have a deep peace – like a lake, where there may be rough waves on the surface, but deeper down there is a great stillness.
