USE YOUR GIFT

1 Peter 4:10 NLT

God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.

TAKE YOUR SHIFT

STOP AND LIFT

1 Samuel 17:33 NIV

Saul replied, “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”

We need to recognize when God’s calling somebody else to step up

David was secretly annointed new king by Saul in the previous chapter.

David was celebrated in his accolades. God gave him success in everything that he did. But rather than see that as a sign - Saul saw it as a threat.

We need to be willing to give up the armor

saul says, ‘you’re crazy! you couldn’t possibly do this!’

Saul decided it couldn’t be done - because it didn’t look like what he was used to.

Saul should have been discerning and curious, rather than judgmental. It’s easy to say, ‘no, i disagree because this isn’t what I know or what I’m used to’. It takes more time to listen.

There are lots of younger people here that have things to say. And they bring things to the table that our church needs to be healthy.

… and we need to be willing to let the other guy not use it

David says, this doesn’t fit. I’m not used to it. It’s not my thing.
