Church notes - 12th March 2017

12th March
Romans 12:3 - 8
1 Samuel 24
The Unwasted Life

Ch16
- Samuel Annoints David
Ch17
- David and Goliath
Ch18 - 31
- Looks like - Time being wasted

Tables about to change?
A New opportunity - for what David wants
vs 5 - 7
David was guilty

Do not seek revenge
- David knew that it wasn't what God wanted.
- Even the cutting of Saul's robe (and the humiliation that caused) wasn't what God wanted.
vs 10 = 12

Revenge - can destroy relationships
Love your enemies - those who are hurting you.
- It is hard!

David saw God as a judge.
- A decade of his life
Was he wasting his time?
vs 7 - 9
The Unwasted Life
We need to give our lives to God
We need to be successful at spending time with God - our relationship with Him.

Joel Esteen - 'espousing of 'prosperity doctrine''
No! It is absolute rubbish!

Even in the midst of difficulties, God is sufficient

Psalm 63:1 - 3
We need to have zeal for God.
