Challenges, Courage and Commitments

October 27, 2024 • Billy Venezia • 1 Samuel 11

The enemy loves to bring shame to the children of God.

Righteous anger can be appropriate and necessary.

Corporately: Pray for a firm resolve to live out God’s truth, regardless of the circumstances.

Personally: Reflect on the moments of salvation & repentance. Thank Him and remember.

1 Samuel 13:16-14:23 Be consumed by the opportunity, not the odds. Choose zeal over comfort and complacency. Surround yourself with like-minded, passionate lovers of God. Be proactive, not reactive.
