Sermon Notes
Higher Power
June 20, 2021
1 Samuel 16:1-13
People can do much more than they think.
Everyone, from time to time, feels a little weak or overburdened. Everyone feels overlooked. That’s because we live in a world that does overlook us. We live in a world that underestimates us. From birth, we are surrounded by expectations and predictions of who we might someday be. Too often, those expectations and predictions are only a shadow of what is really possible with our life. That’s because those expectations and predictions come from a limited view of what is possible. Sadly, we can internalize these expectations and live a smaller life than is possible.
How have you shied away from a challenge in life?
1 The Lord said to Samuel, “How long are you going to grieve over Saul? I have rejected him as king over Israel. Fill your horn with oil and get going. I’m sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem because I have found my next king among his sons.” 2 “How can I do that?” Samuel asked. “When Saul hears of it he’ll kill me!” “Take a heifer with you,” the Lord replied, “and say, ‘I have come to make a sacrifice to the Lord.’ 3 Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will make clear to you what you should do. You will anoint for me the person I point out to you.”
1) Follow God’s direction. God, the Higher Power, will give what you need.
Think it Over: What is a challenge God’s calling you to right now?
4 Samuel did what the Lord instructed. When he came to Bethlehem, the city elders came to meet him. They were shaking with fear. “Do you come in peace?” they asked. 5 “Yes,” Samuel answered. “I’ve come to make a sacrifice to the Lord. Now make yourselves holy, then come with me to the sacrifice.” Samuel made Jesse and his sons holy and invited them to the sacrifice as well. 6 When they arrived, Samuel looked at Eliab and thought, that must be the Lord’s anointed right in front. 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Have no regard for his appearance or stature, because I haven’t selected him. God doesn’t look at things like humans do. Humans see only what is visible to the eyes, but the Lord sees into the heart.”
2) Stop weak and limited thinking. Make Higher Power, God-led decisions.
Think it Over: What would it look like for you to make more Higher Power, God-led decisions?
8 Next Jesse called for Abinadab, who presented himself to Samuel, but he said, “The Lord hasn’t chosen this one either.” 9 So Jesse presented Shammah, but Samuel said, “No, the Lord hasn’t chosen this one.” 10 Jesse presented seven of his sons to Samuel, but Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord hasn’t picked any of these.” 11 Then Samuel asked Jesse, “Is that all of your boys?” “There is still the youngest one,” Jesse answered, “but he’s out keeping the sheep.” “Send for him,” Samuel told Jesse, “because we can’t proceed until he gets here.”12 So Jesse sent and brought him in. He was reddish brown, had beautiful eyes, and was good-looking. The Lord said, “That’s the one. Go anoint him.” 13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him right there in front of his brothers. The Lord’s spirit came over David from that point forward.
3) Feel God’s anointing. God sees your heart.
Think it Over: Who is overlooked in your life that you need to extend God’s ‘anointing’ to?
