YPM Camp 2005

thu morn sermon

these are my notes for thursday morning (second day of the camp, 15 December 2005) :

1 Sam. 16:1-14
Chosen by God or Man
Background... Don't judge a book by its cover.
David was not chosen for 3 reasons

1. young (1 Tim. 4:12)
   - strong foundation
2. physical stature
   God can still choose you!
   Accept your physical appearance etc.
3. experience

Things to Learn

1. Don't let the world determine your worth
   - looks - talents - achievement/ awards
   Paul -> let God determine his worth
   Phil. 3:10
   
2. Your worth comes from your knowledge of God
   David wasn't chosen by his own father
   David didn't have things made of the world, but things made of the LORD.
   cognitive knowledge => experiential knowledge

God chose those things that are opposite from the world.
You are as important to God as Jesus is important to God.
Acts 13:22 - man after God's own heart
God looks at the quality of our heart.
Psalm 27 - one thing I desire.

3 Compartments of Life

1. PUBLIC LIFE - everybody knows you to be
2. PRIVATE LIFE - friends don't know, family knows, close people know
3. INNER LIFE - nobody knows; thoughts/desires/affections/motives; God looks at it!

To be a God-Made Man
Acts 4 -> they perceived that these people had been with Jesus!

disclaimer - no 100% accuracy in these notes... juz my personal notes taken during the camp itself....
