Godly Comrades
Homiletic Review
1 Samuel 10:26-27
And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.…


With what glowing prospects does this new-crowned king begin his reign; chosen by God Himself; gifted with a splendid physical presence; filled with the spirit of God; accepted and supported by all the people, and especially surrounded by such a noble bodyguard.

I. GOD, IN TOUCHING THE HEARTS OF THESE MEN, FILLED THEM:

1. With reverence for the cause of which he was representative.

2. With devotion to him as that representative.

3. With a commendable zeal in service to that cause.

4. With wisdom and ability as counsellors.

5. With personal unselfishness in their service.

II. EVERY CHOSEN SERVANT OF GOD NEEDS TODAY AS A BODYGUARD, "a band of men whose hearts God has touched."

1. With the seal of pardon and acceptance.

2. With a sanctified zeal in God's service.

3. With a burning desire for the salvation of souls.

4. With a mighty faith in God as to the results of the work.
