12.  Jonathon’s story of serving David as
a friend and chosen leader of God
gives us a few tips on
understanding right serving.

13. 1 Sam 20:4 So Jonathan said to David,
“Whatever you yourself desire, I will do it for
you.”
17 Now Jonathan again caused David to
vow, because he loved him; for he loved
him as he loved his own soul.

14.  See with God’s eyes
 Trust commitment
 Refuse to be swayed
 Do your part

15.  30
Then Saul’s anger was aroused against
Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a
perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know
that you have chosen the son of Jesse to
your own shame and to the shame of your
mother’s nakedness? 31
For as long as the
son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not
be established, nor your kingdom.

16.  Jonathon denied his kingship
in deference to God’s choice.
He blinded himself to his
personal desire.

17.  42
Then Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace,
since we have both sworn in the name of
the LORD, saying, ‘May the LORD be
between you and me, and between your
descendants and my descendants, forever.’”

18.  Jonathon made a commitment
and trusted God to be faithful in
taking care of his future need.

19.  32
And Jonathan answered Saul his father,
and said to him, “Why should he be killed?
What has he done?”33
Then Saul cast a spear
at him to kill him, by which Jonathan knew
that it was determined by his father to kill
David.

20.  When the king attempted to
move him away from God’s
design and his commitment, he
held his ground.

21. 1 Sam 26:22-24 “Here is the king’s spear,”
David answered. “Let one of your young men
come over and get it. The Lord rewards
everyone for their righteousness and
faithfulness. The LORD delivered you into my
hands today, but I would not lay a hand on
the LORD’s anointed. As surely as I valued
your life today, so may the LORD value my
life and deliver me from all trouble.”

22. Here is David serving a violent king.
He has no requirements. He does
not ask to be honored, just allowed
to serve.

24.  1 Cor 12: 4 There are different kinds of
gifts, but the same Spirit distributes
them. 5 There are different kinds of
service, but the same Lord. 6 There are
different kinds of working, but in all of
them and in everyone it is the same
God at work.

25.  We are called together. Each has a
gift and ability and part to do.
 Through unity, peace and power
 Through self-will comes division and
weakness

26. Rom 12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers
and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to
offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy
and pleasing to God—this is your true and
proper worship. 2
Do not conform to the
pattern of this world, but be transformed by
the renewing of your mind. Then you will
be able to test and approve what God’s
will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

27. God has design in our service. We
don’t chose our part. It is chosen for
us.
Serving in line brings completion
My thing destroys synergy

28. Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do,
work at it with all your heart, as
working for the Lord, not for human
masters, 24
since you know that you
will receive an inheritance from the
Lord as a reward. It is the Lord
Christ you are serving

29. You will receive an inheritance from the
Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ
you are serving
Man’s reward is not worth seeking
Christ’s reward is living

30. Galatians 6: 7-10 Don’t be under any illusion: you
cannot make a fool of God! A man’s harvest in life will
depend entirely on what he sows. If he sows for his own
lower nature his harvest will be the decay and death of
his own nature. But if he sows for the Spirit he will reap
the harvest of everlasting life by that Spirit. Let us not
grow tired of doing good, for, unless we throw in our
hand, the ultimate harvest is assured. Let us then do
good to all men as opportunity offers, especially to those
who belong to the Christian household.

31. Many will work on your pride and
pity to take you away from God’s
best.
Stay the course
Hold the line

32. Ephesians 2: 8 For by grace are you saved
through faith; and that not of yourselves: it
is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus unto good works, which God
hath before ordained that we should walk in
them.

33. Serving allows us to live God’s design
for our lives.
God designed us to serve.
Don’t look for special recognition
All rewards will be special
Passion stays strong.

35. Let’s
Build

36. Fellowship - Friendship - Family - Faith
