David: The Chosen King (1 Samuel 16)
Sunday Jul 03, 2022
Sunday Jul 03, 2022
Chosen by God. Anointed by Samuel. Serving the King.
Saul has failed. The people's king will not continue, his family will not inherit the throne. But God doesn't cancel the kingship approach to national organization or politics. He redeems it and appoints His own king.
We will be spending July with the story of David's rise and fall, but more importantly these stories tell us about God's unwavering commitment to His people.

Saul, the Failed King (1 Sam 13-15)

Impatience. People-pleasing. Presumption.
That's what Saul struggles with as his leadership is tested and found wanting. These are common human struggles. We all get impatient and want stuff to happen more on our time-line than God's. We all want to be liked by those around us. And when we make a choice that isn't right, we can tend to presume on God's grace.
Jesus dealt had his moments when impatience could have derailed his mission - the disciples were pretty slow on the uptake. But he walked with them, worked with them, and loved them. He's still doing that with us.
Jesus could have bowed to the pressure to lead the people of Israel as they envisioned the Messiah. He even told his disciples at his arrest that he had the authority to fight back. But Jesus lived to please His Father and to glorify His name and purposes.
Jesus took on humanity, lived a fairly normal life for 30 years. He did not presume on His position and power, but entrusted Himself to the Father's purposes. He lived and served in humility.
Patience. Truthfulness. Humility. All the things Saul failed in, Jesus lived fully, and He calls His people to live likewise.

Gospel Podcasts
Our podcast started out simply as audio sermons from our Sunday services. Recently we've started two additional shows: Gospel Conversations and Gospel Reflections.
In Gospel Conversations, Pastor Doug talks with various missionaries that we support, and people in our congregation as they walk with Jesus.
In Gospel Reflections, Pastor Doug shares thoughts from his study of the Bible. Often this will include excerpts from commentators, church history, or something that speaks to where we are at today.
Our goal here is simple: Helping People Follow Jesus.
