Build only on God’s blueprint
1Samuel 10-12 / Revelation 10-12
How to get the most out of Hungry Bible
OT
10:1 Then Samuel took a flask of olive oil and poured it over Saul’s head. He kissed Saul on the cheek and said, “I am doing this because the LORD has appointed you to be the leader of his people Israel.”
NT
11:19 Then, in heaven, the Temple of God was opened and the Ark of his covenant could be seen inside the Temple. Lightning flashed, thunder crashed and roared; there was a great hailstorm, and the world was shaken by a mighty earthquake.
OT Flash Points
Saul of Gibeah (Judges – outrage in Gibeah)
Saul the meek and mighty – a prophet
The sin of asking for a king
Do not turn from worshipping the LORD alone or you will be destroyed
NT Flash Points
The true church witnesses in the midst of the apostasy in sackcloth but with great power
They are killed, their bodies observed and celebrated over for “3 1/2 days”
They are risen and ascend, to the great terror of their persecutors
Perspective
The Great Life = joy and simplicity
“Believe on the One He sent,” not what He can do to make our life what we think it should be
He has counted the cost
Jesus uses men and women who will build on His blueprint
