Following God's Agenda

An agenda is the set of goals of an ideological group. I use an agenda to get a certain task completed. Sometimes however we have to change our agenda in order to complete the task. Also it is difficult to follow another one's agenda. I believe God has an agenda for each of us and I believe we often find it difficult to follow His agenda.

This week we will see two agendas. One is for Saul and the other is for David. We will also see that Saul has to change to conform to God's agenda.

Does God have an agenda for us ?

What is that agenda ?

How do we conform to God's agenda ?

It should be a healthy discussion. See you in class.

The Worth Of Friendship

What is Christian friendship worth ? As I write this blog I am remembering the times when Christian friends helped me. Friends have stood by me during my hospital stays, my job changes, the loss of family members, and the headaches of leadership positions that I have held. My friends tell me when I do a good job and also when I screw up things. My friends love me when it is hard to be loved. A good Christian friend is priceless.

David had a friend that was priceless to him. We will read that this friend loved him deeply and saved his life. We will also read that this friend sacrificed his future for this friendship.

What kind of friend are you ?

Have you ever sacrificed something for your friend ?

Has your friend ever sacrificed something for you ?

Thank you for allowing us to meet in the pray garden this morning. You all are good friends to me.

Dealing With Disappointment

Have you ever been disappointed ? There have been times in my life where my plans just did not work out. I would ask , "Where did I go wrong?" . I did not get that job I really wanted or a relationship went sour. Sometimes we even slide into a state of depression because of this disappointment. How do we deal with this disappointment ?

This week Saul enters into a state of depression . Because of his sin God replaces him as king . God's new choice as king is the son of Jesse , David .

How do we deal with disappointment ?

How can we trust God to keep hope alive ?

Let's join together in class to discuss this important subject.

Follow The Instructions


Do you like to follow instructions? I must say I do not like to follow instructions. When we buy something that needs to be put together I look at the pictures. For some reason there are always parts left over. I should start my own hardware store with the extra parts I have from Christmas toys.

As king God gave Saul instructions to follow. Because of fear and impatiences Saul elects not to follow these instructions. Saul will lose his kingship as a punishment.

Does God give us instructions to follow ?

Is it hard to follow these instructions ?

Do we sometimes have parts left over ?

See you Sunday.
