builder2025-04-07T14:48:10+08:00Talk BRO. BO SANCHEZ:You have a choice. You can live your life sitting on a rocking chair, sipping your tea on the porch, and watching life pass by-- not participating but just watching Netflix, KDrama, or what other people are doing.The other choice is fighting battles with giants by holding a slingshot, getting hurt, getting wounded, and getting damaged.You have a choice. What do you choose? I've got good news and bad news for you. Now, between this teacup and this slingshot, the noble part of me would rather die fighting giants for the people I love. Yes, there's this other part of me that likes the rocking chair. I do. As you get older, you want to slow down.In my almost six decades of living, I want to thank God that He has pulled me out of that chair many times and God has told me: "No! You fight. You serve.You care!"Do not cross your arms amid a suffering world and say: "I don't care. Let me sip my tea."God says, "You care. You sacrifice. You suffer for the sake of other people.I call you."I fight the giants inside me first -- the giants of selfishness, pride, sin, greed, and lust.

So far, the actors that we have been studying have not been great leaders, including the current one we’re studying-- King Saul. He was so disobedient and so proud that God had to reject him.Then, we receive this word: Samuel is sent to Jesse, who had a bunch of sons. We’re going to read this Word: This was probably the eldest of the sons of Jesse. What an impression!Remember Saul last week? We studied that he was handsome. He was head and shoulders above everybody.So, he was Chris Hemsworth, right? Eliab was probably like Jason Momoa of Aquaman.>So, Samuel says, "This is it." But God says...This reminds me of the way we elect politicians. We elect celebrities.I'm not against celebrities running for political office. Some have character and capacity but some are elected just because they're photogenic. Look at the HeartWhat God is telling us: Look deeper. Singles, this also applies to you.I was talking to a young woman and I asked her, "What are you looking for in a husband?"I was expecting her to say: "I want someone who has a
