Sermon Text: 2
Samuel 23: 21b …He also went into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.
Sermon Title: Courage
for the Journey Pt 2
Point
1: Benaiah’s
Journey vs. 20b He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a
lion. One morning, we don’t know which morning; Benaiah stared down the
hard thing, jumped into a pit on a snowy day, and killed a lion.
This
wasn’t the first time
Benaiah had stared down an opportunity and challenge to do the hard thing for
God. This was the nature of Benaiah’s journey. This is all he knew how to do.
The text says in vs. 20 he struck down two of Moab’s best men.
The
third thing recorded
in the text says he struck down an Egyptian soldier that was over seven feet
tall. Vs. 21 says, even though the Egyptian had a spear in his hand Benaiah
went against him with a club. He snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s
hand and killed him with his own spear.
Point 2: New
Life we too are at the morning of our journey.

Corinthians 3: 2 – 3 NLT The only letter of recommendation we need is you
yourselves. Your lives are a letter written in or hearts; everyone can read it
and recognize our good work among you. This “letter” is written not with pen
and ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. It is carved not on tablets of
stone, but on human hearts. We too are faced with being a conformist or
transformers, being radical in our belief God can do anything, out of the box
church.
