Sermon Summary:Title: "New Creation"Summary:In today's sermon, Senior Pastor Ajay Mathews delved into the theme of empowerment for purpose, drawing insights from the story of Saul's anointing in 1 Samuel Drawing from Saul's experience, Pastor Ajay highlighted three key points:1. **Divine Encounter**: Just as Samuel encountered Saul and anointed him with oil, believers are called to encounter God in a personal and transformative way. This encounter marks the beginning of our journey toward purposeful living.2. **Empowerment of the Spirit**: Saul received the Spirit of the Lord upon him, empowering him for the task ahead. Similarly, believers are empowered by the Holy Spirit to fulfill the unique purposes God has ordained for each individual.3. **Confirmation and Assurance**: Through various signs and confirmations, Saul received assurance that God was with him. Likewise, believers can find confidence and assurance in God's presence and guidance as they step into their callings.Pastor Ajay emphasized that just as Saul was empowered for his specific purpose as king, each believer is uniquely equipped and empowered by God to fulfill their divine calling and contribute to His kingdom.In conclusion, Pastor Ajay encouraged the congregation to seek encounters with God, rely on the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, and find confidence in God's confirmation of their purpose. As believers embrace their divine empowerment, they can boldly step into their God-given roles and impact the world around them for His glory.Verse Preached: 1 Samuel "After that you will go to Gibeah of God, where there is a Philistine outpost. As you approach the town, you will meet a procession of prophets coming down from the high place with lyres, timbrels, pipes and harps being played before them, and they will be prophesying."
