Ken Peterson Gave the Sermon today.
1 Samual 3:1-10
1 Samual 3:17
1 Samual 12 1:13
1. Honesty means you speak the truth with your lips. Samual is saddened, stunned, and shocked at this revelation. Remember, Eli was the man that has shown Samual the ropes. A man who taught him all the tricks of the trade, a man who poured his life into him. So, Samual certainly doesn't want to tell Eli what the Lord said.
2. Honesty means you show truth through your life. There is nothing, nothing greater, nothing higher in ending whatever career God has given you than to know what everyone else knows, you always speak truth with your lips, and you show truth in your actions.
3. Honesty means you share the truth in your love. People who will be honest whether anyone is looking or not. People who will tell the truth even when it is not popular, who will keep their promises, and whose word is their bond, because when He speaks, He doesn't tell us anything but the truth, and when we speak, neither should we.
If you love someone, you will tell them the truth.
