Title: Someone who fits my heart
Contents
Bible: Acts 13:21-23 Title: A man after my own heart
Duam Church is a precious church that cannot be left out in the history of the Korean church and in our denomination history.
It is a church where 23 people of noble faith preach the gospel and those who were martyred while keeping the faith are asleep, because you are there.
In this church where the life of the Lord is alive, there are people who are chosen by God to be appointed as priests, but remember that you are descendants of noble martyrs.
When God raises the workers of the church, he appoints people after God's heart. God made David king and said, "I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, and I will do all my will."
God's workers were people after God's own heart.
Then what kind of person is a man after God?
1. A person who takes responsibility.
Who was David? He was responsible.
He was a man who knew how to take responsibility for the work entrusted to him.
When his father entrusted him with the sheep, David was responsible for it.
When God entrusted the country, he fulfilled his responsibility.
Employers must struggle with responsibility. Kwon is the person who takes responsibility.
Take responsibility for the work entrusted to you by the pastor.
Don't assert your rights, do your best to take responsibility.
Then rights follow and blessings follow.
☞ As Ruth fulfilled her responsibilities as a daughter-in-law, amazing blessings followed.
Dooam Church members! And those who are appointed as Kwons!
Be responsible. Then the Lord will be glorified.
2. A person who prays.
The most important thing for believers is prayer. In particular, prayer is the lifeblood of the position called kwonsa.
David was a man of prayer. Even when many enemies tried to kill David, David said, “I love you, but they are against me; I only pray!” (Psalm 109:4)
-One-
In the morning, in the day, in the evening, in the night, in war, in the face of enemies, anytime, anywhere, David was a man of prayer.
Praying is evidence that you are with God.
What happens when God is with you?
He is well established as a man of God. Even when you are wrong, you become the right person. Therefore, he is established as a person of blessing.
You can do God's work right.
You can faithfully follow God's will.
Through prayer, we are raised up to be perfect people of God.
Prayer is not to accomplish my will, but to do God's will. I hope to become a person who prays a lot.
3. A person who is loyal.
Loyalty is the duty of those entrusted with it, Paul says.
According to the Old Testament, an Israeli woman was taken captive to the house of Naaman, the commander of the army of the king of Syria, and while working as a nurse, this girl preaches the gospel to her owner. If you go to a prophet in our country, you will be cured of leprosy.
Hearing this gospel, Naaman goes, is healed, and comes back realizing that God lives.
This girl faithfully fulfilled the mission of witnessing the gospel.
What is the purpose of God's ultimate purpose in establishing you as a priest?
It is to be a witness of Jesus.
You must work closely with the pastor to be faithful as a witness of Jesus.
We must cooperate well with the saints and be faithful as a witness of Jesus.
Why did your ancestors in your faith martyrdom? Because of the Gospel!
The end of faith is to be a witness of Jesus.
There are still people in this area who do not believe in Jesus.
The blood of the martyrs will never be in vain.
When you faithfully preach the gospel and fulfill your duties as saints, a wonderful work of salvation will happen.
You can. Because it is built on the faith of the martyrs and the Lord is holding the Duam Church with both hands.

☞ David shouts before Goliath. “You come to me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have insulted!” Victory returned to David when he went out shouting.
What David cried out was the gospel. When Goliath fell, it was not that he fell at David's slingshot, but that he fell before the gospel.
This is David's loyalty and the result.
Loyalty is death. Loyalty is a new beginning.
Therefore, be prepared. Be loyal from today!
There are living witnesses (martyrs) of the faith in front of you, so keep your faith and be faithful with hope and courage.
There is a promise to the faithful, which is the crown of life.
We hope that Duam Church will become a church that takes responsibility, a church that prays, and a church that is faithful.
☞ What is a man after God's own heart?
1. The person responsible.
2. A person who prays
3. A person who is faithful to death to preach the gospel.
