Smyth: Army of God

PJ Smyth started planting churches in Zimbabwe, and now leads a New Frontiers church in Johanesburg, South Africa. His address was taken from 1 Chronicles 11-12

Start of the Army

  • David’s army starts in a cave – in distress, discontent, and debt

Conscience of the Army (11:1-3)

The army followed David because:

  1. He was ‘flesh and bone’
  2. He was a leader
  3. God appointed him

PJ went on to speak about Paul and his uses of the phrase “a clear conscience”

Devotion of the Army (11:16-19)

  • PJ bought verses for application about being a leader and a follower

Structure of the Army

  • PJ went through chapter 11 speaking about teams and roles for leaders and followers

Leader of the Army (11:4-9)

  • Lead Inclusive (bring people together)
  • Lead Strong
  1. Guard what has been entrusted
  2. Spot opportunities
  3. Don’t take no for an answer
  4. Be committed to forward motion
