Chapter Eleven - "He Is Tending The Sheep"

December 8, 2019

PREVIEW OF THE READINGS


SERMON NOTES

God finds a new king by looking into the heart of the youngest son of Jesse, who was tending the sheep when God sent Samuel to anoint the one God would choose. This is the story of the first kings of Israel and it foreshadows God’s great plan of salvation. Last week, we read about a king who turned his heart away from God. This week, we see that God’s intention for His people is to have a king with the heart of a shepherd.

It so happens that we hear this story at just the time when we are preparing to hear the glorious news brought to shepherds in the city of David! Come and hear about the shepherd king from Bethlehem who helps us prepare to receive the eternal king who came at Christmas!
