PURSUE GOD

Last week’s worship led by A Allan Martin, I Am Second 2021: Samuel Found a Second

I AM SECOND: SAMUEL FOUND A SECOND
Leaders: Look the part when GOD peers into your heart.

But GOD told Samuel, “Looks aren’t everything. Don’t be impressed with his looks and stature. I’ve already eliminated him. GOD judges persons differently than humans do. Men and women look at the face; GOD looks into the heart.” --1Samuel 16:7 [Message]

“Young adulthood is the time when so many of us stray from our faith. We suddenly have a lot of freedom and are making a lot of important decisions with lifelong impact. I’ve been blessed with strong church and career opportunities, so I feel called to help others be strong in their faith and make decisions they will be proud of in the future. . . Young people are no longer the leaders of the church of tomorrow. We’re leaders today with ideas God has implanted in our hearts to grow the Kingdom and do great things for Him.” —Tim Kosaka
