Sermon Recap 4-17-11

Morning: It was Gideon Rally Day. We had an excellent speaker. The sermon, "The Living Word," focused on Hebrews 4:12-13. In this passage, the author reminds his readers that God's Word is living and active. As we read it, we encounter the living God. It also brings life to those who read it in faith. The Word warns us of coming judgment, our need for forgiveness, and depth of our sin. It is our foundation and guide.

Evening: We looked at the life of Saul from 1 Samuel 9:1-31:13. Here are some of the principles we can draw from Saul's life:
  • Be careful for what you ask, you may just get it.
  • You can't judge a book by its cover.
  • The fear of man is the beginning of folly.
  • Foolish decisions will taint your legacy (especially when they outnumber your wise ones).
  • Obedience is better than sacrifice.
  • Sometimes, sorry just doesn't cut it.
