Together for Good: Looking for our Leader

About this sermon

Israel was looking for a leader as Samuel stepped into the shadows and Saul descended deeper into his own darkness. God was working. Somewhere outside Bethlehem, keeping watch over his flocks, a young man wrote poetry and sang songs to his God. While everyone else forgot him, God saw him. The very same God sees us as we worship and work today. Message based on 1 Samuel 16:13. Quotes: John Woodhouse: A man after God’s own heart is if I can put it like this talking about the place the man has in God’s heart rather than the place God has in the man’s heart. Duane Brooks: The truly humble person is the last to know. Dwight L Moody: Character is who you are in the dark, when you and God alone know. Hudson Taylor: Many Christians estimate difficulties in the light of their own resources, and thus attempt little and often fail in the little they attempt. All God’s giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on His power and presence with them. Duane Brooks: God says I see you . . . and I am making you into the person I need you to be. Duane Brooks: The church is not lacking in power.
