Notes from the June 16th Morning service.

Pastor Barry Hall Family Fellowship Bible Church 6/16/2002 AM Service

It is hard to lead leaders, they have a nation inside them. Especially in raising boy children. He must he led in a strong way or he will lead the show. Young men need things to be definite. So it is with a leader. He must lead and submit. Think about Moses who had to lead a bunch of leaders. David was a worshiper and a military man. How can that be so? How can he be a weeping crying man and a man who is going to take you down in a heartbeat if you crossed him? Study leaders. How do they think? What makes them do what they do? Two things: 1) Great strength and 2) great weakness.. God will not deliver you from some things but will deliver you through them. Listen to what David said: Psalm 23

1 <<A Psalm of David.>> The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. {green…: Heb. pastures of tender grass} {still…: Heb. waters of quietness}

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. {anointest: Heb. makest fat}

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. {for ever: Heb. to length of days}

What does it take to be a leader? Strength and control is what it takes. It has been said "you look like what you have come through". This is so true because getting victory is a fight.
