He Whom the Lord Has Chosen

Sermon Text: 1 Samuel 16:1-13

Theme: God’s choice to anoint the son of Jesse as king reveals that He clearly sees what man cannot perceive

Structure/points:  Despite Saul’s rebellion, the Lord did not rejected Israel forever, nor did He allow his people to be led by a turncoat for all time.  He had one final mission for Samuel, to anoint a new king for the Lord. And despite his age and experience, Samuel would learn an important lesson through this last great task.  As we study this passage, I pray that the Lord our God will show us the wisdom of His choice as we examine…

  1. God’s provision
  2. Samuel’s misjudgment
  3. The king’s identity
