Text: 1 Chronicles 27:25-34
Intro: What we have in these verses is a list of the officers who served in David’s court along with the duties each carried out. It must have been a great honor to be chosen by the king for a place of service. But, have you ever considered that the Lord chooses out men and women to serve Him? (Eph. 2:10) (1 Cor. 12:4-6,11) This list of officials from David’s kingdom can teach us some lessons about serving the Lord:
1. Each Person Had A Place Of Special Service.
2. Each Person Was Called By Name. (Mt. 10:29-31)
3. Each Person Served In A Different Capacity.
4. Each Person Was Placed Where They Were By The King. (Eph. 4:16 (NLT)
I want to look at the man named Joash. Here is a man who was in a place of special service to the king. You might wonder what you and I can learn from a passage such as this. Well, we can learn a lot about faithfulness to the Lord during our service.
