Kerwin Baptist Church Daily Broadcast

Welcome to the Kerwin Baptist Church broadcast our desire is for the word of God spread throughout all me know join is now for a portion of one of our services here at Kerwin Baptist Church located in Kernersville, North Carolina title bar messages morning and moving on morning and moving on. I almost feel like God has led in the kind of the same direction as as even last week. I don't know why God is doing this. Don't know who needs to hear what. Maybe it's just all because God knows I needed.

I don't know but whatever God is doing and going to obey. I'm going to do what he's asked me to do and he knows a lot better than I do so. Look at verse one a for sale. Chapter 16 and the Lord said to Samuel, how long will now here's our word mourn for Saul seeing I have rejected him from raining over Israel.

I hear all the Schofield's turning their page at Devon Schofield understand that anyone filled Einhorn with oil and go. I have Schofield. I will send the to Jesse the best for my for I have provided me a keen among his sons. Samuel said how can I go if Saul here it he will kill me. And the Lord said taken effort with the and say I am come to sacrifice to the Lord knows a lot I could say that but I will let that one go or I know he did not take his wife with him. I know some of you are thinking that all right, verse three and call Jesse to the sacrifice and I will show the what thou shalt do, and thou shalt anoint unto me him who my name into the innocent back verse one the Lord said in the Samuel how long will thou mourn for Saul seeing I have rejected him from raining over Israel filled Einhorn with oil and go morning and moving on. Lord I love you. Thanks for all you've done to my heart through this passage, maybe you work your continuing and Lord as we kind of learn to once again flex our corporate worship muscles. I guess you would say to submit ourselves to your word to adjust back to the fact of understanding that many times you work in our heart in certain ways and where alone but you also work in our heart in certain ways. We were gathered together, that are unique to that setting. So I ask you to do that and all powers given to you. Lord I pray that you would bestow some of that power upon the preaching of your word today. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

This is an interesting passage going to try to briefly through some different points kinda take a little bit of a journey through this book and, through this story of what happened and the Lord comes to Samuel here. Samuel was the prophet. They were kind of called Sears even even in the Bible.

That's with individuals kind of called prophets they called them Sears and the prophet Samuel here were basically judges. You see, God was king, and God had his prophets as judges, but obviously you know the story that the children of Israel rebelled against that they wanted their own team.

They wanted to have a person that they could kinda touch and see. And even though they didn't understand this. They wanted something visible to worship instead of trusting God who they couldn't necessarily see and touch the begin look around at other nations and realized they had their kings and they have their symbols of authority. Can you imagine how fortunate they were, that God was there.

King, but they wanted a different king, and so obviously God rejected Saul, and Saul became that man but as a course of time. He was a good king and a great king for a while but as God had warned before they chose themselves again. He fell and he began to make bad decision after bad decision and God had to end up rejecting him. He disobeyed God. God rejected him from being king and Samuel obviously was the person that had helped anoint Saul as king who had advised Saul train Saul spent hours with Saul and when the time came that God said have rejected him. Samuel literally tried to talk God out of that and and really made effort, but God had made his decision and the Bible says that when Saul had made that those choices and God had made his choice that the whole thing came crumbling down Bible says that same and only show you Samuel and Saul, with their separate ways.

Samuel never again went to see Saul and he went into what we call morning someone a look at it in this this thing and in chapter 16 verse one. The Lord comes back to Samuel and you say will how long was this and I want to show you passage of Scripture here in a minute. And God comes back to Samuel and he says us and how long are you going to be torn up by this. How long are you gonna be discouraged and defeated by this.

How long are you going to, hide yourself in your house and feel bad and down about what has transpired.

How long you going to do this. It's time for you to fill your horn with oil and go, it's time to move on.

Now I want to look at some passages and I just want to ask you, would you open up your heart maybe let God work on you just a little bit onto the C number one why and I began when I first year this verse on living together. Just begin to think what were the real reasons why was Samuel morning so much over this number one I want you to see he was disappointed in a person. He was disappointed in the personnel I have these verses up on the screen but if you want to again just in the chapter before forcing the chapter 15 I want you to see what happened and chat and chapter 15. These verses irreparable verse 26 the Bible says and Samuel said, under Saul. I will not return with the for thou hast rejected the word of the Lord and the Lord have rejected the from being king over Israel. Then Samuel went to ram a and Saul went up to his house give you of Saul and Samuel came no more to see Saul unto the day of his death. Nevertheless, Samuel mourned for Saul and the Lord repented that he had made Saul king over Israel. You see all that Samuel had invested in Trident and all that he had dreamed of.

It all comes crashing down in just a matter of moments in and Samuel became so disappointed in Saul.

I mean, he knew his potential and and he knew deep down that he was a good man but all the things that he had seen and hope for and and all the good qualities that he had witnessed in and help to the kinda help to design now. The Bible says that he was so hurt that he never went to see Saul again. What a sad situation. God had given such a wonderful opportunity to Saul to be king. Samuel had invested so much trust in time Saul had made one bad decision after another, God rejected Saul and even regretted choosing him regretted allowing him to become king. Samuel goes his way. Saul goes his way, and they will never see each other again, literally.

As far as speaking face-to-face until Saul is dead Samuel withdrawals himself from public ministry. Do you know this, that at this moment when Samuel withdraws himself. The only thing he ever did of any public nature was anoint David. Other than that God never had Samuel do anything public, and had anything to do in ministry. After that now. Why is this so interesting because I didn't realize this, it ends in chapter 15. Last verse Saul or Samuel skews me mourned for Saul. Then in chapter 16 verse one God says a how long you to mourn for Saul, so I'm thinking well okay you understand. I didn't realize I had to dig in and I headed you know, gonna go and in and in and is best we can tell do know is anywhere from 7 to 11 years from the last verse of first of verse 15 to the first verse of chapter 60 it's not like this is the next day and God says how long you know mourn for Saul. You see, we knew we do know that David was around 30 years of age when he became king when Saul died. We do know that David was probably less than 20 years old when Samuel anointed him but we do know that after God rejected Saul and Samuel left Saul that we do know that Saul was king for another almost 10 years and he conducted many military battles without the help of God. Now, which led to the demise of Israel and all those things and so literally the numbers don't lie. And if you have your Scofield Bible you even notice the dates if you look at the pages from where chapter 15 the heart of chapter 15 in the heart of chapter 16 there's 10 to 15 years difference. This isn't Samuel Connor got hurt. Went home thought about next morning God knocked on the door. Hey, are you over it though. This was this was years Samuel was disappointed in person somebody he had high hopes in. Have you ever been disappointed by person listen. Some of the most wonderful members of our church have had experiences in the past where a made a husband or wife disappointed. We have people all over this area that are not in church this morning and not just because of co-vid.

They haven't been in church for years and they probably won't darken the door of the church for many more years because of a person and I think the New Testament when asked who did hinder the disappointed in person it can happen. You know that people can really disappoint you. They can purchase.

We all know that and it literally help to send Samuel into years of discouragement. What you know to secondly there was that he was, not just disappointed in a person. But second he was discouraged because of people he was discouraged because of it. We celebrate you just said he was displaying a person yeah but but but that one person was close to him and it really hurt him, but on the tell you this all was building you see in chapter 16 verse one. This was a culmination of a number of things I want you to see these briefly this morning because you got to understand all that was going on in same as mine. He was disappointed because the people we gotta go all way back to the first Samuel chapter 8 verses were on the screen. If you want to turn to it that's fine but I want you to look at this in verse one and it came to pass, when Samuel was old that he made his sons judges over Israel.

Now the name of his firstborn was Joel in the name of the second abaya they were judges in Beersheba and his sons walk not in his ways but turned aside after lucre and took bribes and perverted judgment that all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together and came to Samuel on to Rama and said unto him, behold, thou art Olga and thy sons, walk not in thy ways now make us a king to judge us like all the nation see when the people rejected Samuel's sons and they wanted a new game they were in a sense rejecting Samuel in fact they said this, your old you don't know what we need. We need something better and your sons don't walk in your ways. Which means this we don't think you've done a good job as a parent and we don't think you're really doing a good job as a judge, so make us a king. I want to look at verse six is on the screen but the thing displeased Samuel when they said give us a king to judge us and Samuel prayed unto the Lord and the Lord said in the same will hearken to the voice of the people in all that they send to the for they have not rejected the but they rejected me that I should not reign over them. Samuel had given everything to these people for not much in return. And yet when they didn't think he measured they rejected so this is all building. Samuel is not just disappointed now and what Saul has done this whole mess came because the people rejected God because they rejected me and imagine this, not that I found this interesting. I don't find ones that Samuel mourned over the fact that his sons were not able to follow you get this. I don't see or Samuel mourned one bit that God didn't choose his sons to be judged.

He got over that pretty quick, but he mourn for years over Saul. Isn't that interesting to see Saul would have never come about.

Saul would have never failed.

If Saul had had all this pressure on him and it was too much pressure and the reason Saul had too much pressure on him is because he had to become king because the people wanted a king, and the reason people wanted a king because I didn't want to submit to God. So this whole mess started because of people. It had been brewing in Samuel for years, number three.

Why was Samuel in morning.

Why did he mourn so much risk is disappointed in person. He was discouraged because of people notice 30 was disillusioned by unrealized plan is was all laid out.

I mean single has been all this time Samuel was a Saul was going to be King Saul was to be a great king and then Saul was there literally going to give birth to a dynasty of kings.

And that was the plan hid in the Bible.

Find out you'll find this out that it was literally something that that Samuel had become. Tell Saul that God is not just rejected you. He's rejected your dynasty, your children, by the way, if you think about it.

Saul's son Jonathan ended up becoming submissive and the best friend of the guy who would become the next king. You see, even though Jonathan was a good man. God had rejected Saul and any of his pin asking me literally was unrealized plans. This was all laid out. Samuel had spent a lifetime as a prophet working on this cultivating it teaching training Saul praying was Saul calling upon God, watching him grow as a person as an individual. I mean literally. Saul was the person that found that say no to me found fall literally God for this day and tomorrow they want to king this time tomorrow me to send somebody by the Bible said that Saul was taller than anybody in the land you the part that mediate everything his dad was wealthy and in all these things, but plans change you know you and I often time to find ourselves disillusioned by unrealized plan. This is how we thought it was gonna work out just hadn't worked out that way. I've seen people so mad and so discouraged and so defeated because of things that they wanted so bad plan. They just knew this would happen. They always thought it would be this way and it didn't work out that way and they have withdrawn themselves into their house and they have spent years of morning unrealized plans just can't move on number four more I could say that by the way this work.

It's kind of the nitty-gritty and you know how I feel about this scene it was disappointed a person he was discouraged by people he was disillusioned by unrealized plans before he was dejected by his own performance. This is the worst.

If there's anything that puts Daniel Hunter into the state of morning. It's what I've messed up on a criticism of people to come trust me, it does part of the part of the make, but when you know you're just disappointed in yourself. That's when it gets pendulous to know what you get this Samuel was the one that anointed Saul. Samuel advised Saul. Samuel training Saul look at for Saul to fail like he did.

Was it a way. Samuel family you know not a lot, but more than you would probably realize, and not just around here, but in places, people from out of state and we've gotten cards, letters from people to watch our services states away and things in. Sometimes you'll get calls and things in emails whatever you would not believe how many parents have withdrawn themselves and not real. Active in church anymore.

There come there faithful. They love the Lord, but they just kind of wave just got a raise their little white flag and just kinda given up there public ministry as Samuel did, because the failure of their children. They've taken as their failure if I have been a better parent. Surely they wouldn't have done such, I mean obviously if I was if I had done more that this wouldn't be the I've watched a whole lot of people get into morning because there dejected by their own performance. Fifth, a lot more excited that I find here that Samuel mourned so much for Saul because he was disappointed by people does of advice by Saul discouraged by people disillusioned by unrealized plans. Dejected by his own self. But notice last he disagreed with God's preference. This all came crashing down in one instance, all these feelings some that had been going on for years. It all hit at once. It is what I call the perfect storm of frustration.

Have any of you ever had a perfect storm of frustration. Get your life.

It's like all of a sudden every body has turned on you and wants its all of a sudden, like everybody has let you down within a matter we my the only even that's ever been through. I want to show you this in chapter 15 the chapter before and verse 10. This is when Saul had begun to disobey God.

I want you to see what happened here in spent in chapter 50 person verse up in the screen.

The Bible says, then came the word of the Lord on the Samuel saying it repented me that I have set up Saul to be king free is turned back from following me and have not performed my commandments. Listen to this and it grieved Samuel and he cried unto the Lord, all night, why was he crying to the Lord all night. He was trying to get God to change his mind no God.

Listen, I know he's done this, but listen, I believe you can do for some reason Samuel. He was lock, stock and barrel in the Saul he wanted to see him succeed. He just knew this is what was supposed to happen. This is what he had planned. He had spent his whole life he spent hours and he spent time and now God all of a sudden says no. I rejected him. He's done to move on and literally all night long. Samuel cries out to God, please don't do this, change your mind this isn't right as I know you know what you think.

But you're wrong. God ever been wrong this one experience brought it all together in one action.

All these things that Samuel had been feeling.

He's crushed by a person. This all started because these dumb people I had all these plans and obviously if he's done this and I failed and I don't know why God is doing this.

Why can't God fix this. I know a lot of people that are in Rama sit in the house morning because of God's preferences because God chose different than they would interesting your vendor maybe not. Maybe this is a waste of time but let me just let God work on my heart if you don't mind can you give me just a few points of perspective we go today as we look at this story, God looks at Samuel chapter 16 and he comes to look at me after years after years of this point everyone want to write this down will never forget a number one is this people mess up you know people are you and me.

People mess up you can't hang your harp on a person. You can't invest everything you got in a person you can trust God depend on God and you get at and and listen, you can take that to the bank but people mess up number two.

Plans change plans change, you're looking at a guy is that a lot of plans change or features not just about the fitness thing and all that stuff last week. I'm to say plans change I would back my life. Some of the things that I just knew this is the way it was going to be didn't turn out at all like that.

And God was right. Plans change third point.

It's okay to be disappointed in what I find God never says Saul, how dear you more mean sit Samuel I get the two mixed up.

Is the essay. Oh my goodness is been the guy never looked at Samuel and says same.

How dare you mourn for this. How dare you take one minute wasting your time. Discouraged by what I've done and what I've chosen God never reprimands Samuel for this affecting him.

He doesn't reprimands Samuel because it disappointed him and you and I have a high priest, that is touched with the feeling of our infirmities. He knows how we been let down, he knows how were the nose we been disappointed in people.

And guess what, people mess up and so do you do before you get back and you just judge what this person may have reached out to me and they haven't done this and they haven't done that wasn't you messed up. God never said Samuel help.

I can't believe you here.

You are a man of God and here. This is bothering you. I can't believe it never got on him for that. In fact, God gave him a season to mourn a I needed this. There was so much going on in my life and stay personally when my mom passed away just like I just became passes church we had a son and in the hospital, you know there's a lot of fish to fry right now but I just don't think that I knew what the season or morning would be when my dad died.

It hit me in a different way. One prepared for in ways that I wanting to know how it's connected, but it has from health to a number of things. Listen, God gave Samuel a season for morning, but there comes a time where you have to move on. It is okay to be disappointed. Fourthly, there comes a time.

You know how often do you and I mourn over circumstances or relationships or plans that have not worked out in our best interest. We think will most don't feel like we can move forward. We have anointed something that didn't turn out did you hear me. We have anointed something that didn't turn out. I'm going somewhere with this, as we close so people mess up plans change. It's okay to be disappointed. There comes a time to move on.

Listen to me. Next is this God has a plan. He said listen Samuel failure over the oil and go. I have chosen me a key, I've got a plan about this worked out usually before the people chose their king for them this time God says I'm choosing my king for me. I'm about you but I have a feeling is going to be a better choice last point is this.

Trust God's plan okay. You gotta see this on the screener to see for single chapter 10 verse one.

This is all way back were Samuel anoints Saul to get Rick chapter 10 verse one then Samuel took a vial of oil and poured it on his head, look at me. This is what we call a vial.

This is actually oil that when there are those that by was teaches common sickness or something asked me to anoint them with oil, will have some elders of the church come will owe anoint with oil and pray over them is biblical and and this is a vial got a little fancy – I think got this at a Christian something, but there was a timer. I just kept a little whatever this is little value open this up and there is anointing oil in here and and so the Bible says that when it came time the people chose their king and they wanted the king, and so the Bible says look overtly good chapter and verse one that same took a vial of oil imported upon his head and kissed him and said, is it not because the Lord hath anointed the to be captain over.
