The Opportunist and The Importunist (Part 2)

Speaker: Pastor Joe Ricchuiti
Series: 1 Kings, The Opportunist and The Importunist
Passage: 1 Kings 1:11-37

1.  Nathan is a profile in both loyalty and leadership:

-Nathan steps into the void of leadership left by David’s feeble condition and advanced years

-David was inattentive and disconnected at this important juncture in Israel’s history.

-God would use Nathan and Bathsheba to rouse David to action and to see that His will be accomplished

-Nathan was loyal to David but more importantly he was loyal to God.

-Nathan was zealous to see that God’s will prevail despite Adonijah’s scheming

2.  “The overriding need of the church today is for a leadership that is spiritual and sacrificial, that is authoritative, though not authoritarian.”  J. Oswald Sanders in Spiritual Leadership.
