Pastor Vlad continues the sermon series, "Digging Wells" he dives deep into the ins and outs of honor. Being separate from the world, serving the Lord and how to submit to authority.

Notes:

1 Samuel 8:3

Cold parents produced corrupt kids.

Praying parents produced prophetic kid.

Parents, what you do in moderation, your kids will do in excess!

If you had good parents you have a head start.

If you don’t have good example you don’t have an excuse.

Parents decided your history but your mentors decide your destiny.

“If you are born poor its not your mistake but if you die poor its your mistake” Bill Gates.

I. Separate from the World [PURITY FROM POLLUTION OF THE WORLD]

A. Samuel transformed temple but first he refused to conform to the temple.

When you refuse to conform, God will transform.

B. Not conforming to the culture will cost you something but getting transformed by culture will cost you everything.

II. Serve the Lord [PURSUIT OF PRESENCE OF GOD]

A. Don’t settle in success that separation invited.

B. Stay fascinated with God when you get familiar with the things of God.

III. Submit to Authority [POSITIONED FOR PROPHETIC DESTINY]

A. Fear of God causes us to honor flawed authority

Dishonor reveals a lot more about you then the person you are opposing.

Dishonor doesn’t help them, it hurts you.

B. Key is not great authority but great attitude.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” Ephesians 6:1-2

Obedience (action) - because its right thing to do.

Honor (attitude) - because there is reward.

C. Flawed priest activated Samuel to become a fire prophet

Honor positions you for what God called you because God hides instructions in those you might struggle to honor.
