Follow the Lord, Not the Flow • Amanda Emberley • Ascension Online

Описание: Catch up with the talk from this week's Sunday service, focussing on 1 Samuel 24:1-10.
Today Amanda talks about how, as followers of Jesus, we must prioritise faithfulness to biblical values and obedience to God's voice over societal pressures.

1. 00:00 ✝ David must choose between killing his enemy Saul or waiting for God's timing, highlighting the challenge of truly following God.

2. 02:23 ✝ Be guided by spiritual flow, not popular opinion, to stay true to the Lord's voice amidst life's pressures.

3. 06:37 💡 The cultural flow can shape our lives unless we intentionally follow the Holy Spirit.

4. 11:05 💡 Fear of human approval can lead to destruction, while trusting in the Lord keeps one safe, as seen in Saul's downfall due to prioritising image over following God.

5. 14:47 ✝ As a follower of Jesus, prioritise faithfulness to biblical values over societal pressures and personal feelings.

6. 19:48 ✝ Spiritual growth requires stress and pressure to deepen trust in Jesus and prepare us for His purpose.

7. 22:43 ✝ To follow the Lord, prioritise worshiping Him, trust in His vindication, and surround yourself with faithful friends, like David, Moses, and Jesus did in their own spiritual formations.

8. 26:42 ✝ To live as children of God, we must choose to follow God's voice over culture's voice and prioritise obedience to him over personal gain and approval.
