  8. What am I called to do ? • Every wise workman takes his tools away from the work from time to time that they may be ground and sharpened; so does the only –wise Jehovah take His ministers oftentimes away into darkness and loneliness and trouble, that He may sharpen and prepare them for harder work in His service.Robert Murray McCheyne

  9. A life of Purpose When difficulties comes, our tendency is to pray for deliverance instead of growth. We ask the Lord, “How can I get out of this?” instead of “What can I get out of this?”When we do that, we miss the opportunities God gives us to develop spiritual maturity. Warren Wiersbe

  11. Biblical Values • Our core values define us. • They tell us why we do what we do. • Our values are the reason for the choices we make, the company we choose, the lifestyle we adopt and the possessions we hold dear. • As disciples of Jesus, our values must be shaped by the scriptures.

  13. Day 1-Our Common Tendency Going With The Flow (1 Sam 15:1-23)
