00:00.000 --> 00:05.120
There's something we're going to try. And this Sunday is the first Sunday we're going to try it.

00:06.700 --> 00:12.140
And who better than to pick on than one of the board members?

00:14.560 --> 00:20.140
And it's this. We want to see if God's in this.

00:21.860 --> 00:28.760
Having different people take five, ten minutes and share a principle that God has taught them,

00:28.760 --> 00:35.800
share something that God is asking them to share, share something that God is leading them into.

00:36.540 --> 00:38.680
And Matt happens to be the first one this morning.

00:39.400 --> 00:46.480
And what he is going to just touch on goes perfectly with where the service is going.

00:46.680 --> 00:48.980
So we better let him share.

00:49.560 --> 00:52.900
So I won't take all five minutes so we can get onto the service.

00:53.040 --> 00:56.920
But it's amazing how God works all these things together.

00:56.920 --> 01:01.620
Because I was debating which way to take what I felt the principle was.

01:02.140 --> 01:05.240
And then we had this morning and prayer and the word that Felicia had.

01:05.920 --> 01:10.460
And I've been going through the life of Saul and David actually.

01:11.880 --> 01:16.920
And we all know the famous scriptures with David killed Goliath,

01:17.020 --> 01:19.040
man after God's own heart in the story of the Sheba.

01:19.560 --> 01:22.140
And the thing that he really highlighted to me was,

01:23.660 --> 01:31.180
one, don't disqualify yourself because of sin when you have God that's forgiving you.

01:31.580 --> 01:35.260
Because when you look at the love that God has for us

01:35.260 --> 01:38.720
and how he wants us to do what we're talking about.

01:39.080 --> 01:41.180
Be friends with him, call him friend, come to him.

01:42.880 --> 01:45.240
That alone is enough, right?

01:45.700 --> 01:48.120
No matter what's behind us, that's what it is.

01:48.120 --> 01:52.560
And then the last part of it, when you look at even what David did.

01:53.000 --> 01:57.420
After Bethsheba gave birth, child died after seven days, David was mourning.

01:58.040 --> 02:02.400
The first thing David did was after he was done fasting, he cleaned himself up.

02:02.760 --> 02:05.520
He didn't go to Bethsheba, he went and worshiped God.

02:06.200 --> 02:10.700
He spent time with the Lord, he sought him, and then he went to his wife.

02:11.200 --> 02:14.140
So in all of that you see the principle of God.

02:14.580 --> 02:17.000
David was after God's own heart, famous scripture.

02:17.000 --> 02:21.480
But the revelation of what that is and what that means for us to love on him

02:21.480 --> 02:23.200
and him vice versa to us.
