Path 18: The
Holy Spirit
Guides the
Church
In the Bible, God chose some
people to speak on His
behalf. We call them
prophets. Through them, the
Lord’s commands and plans
are brought to the people.
Similarly during the time of
Jesus, He appointed the
apostles to assist Him in His
works. The apostles
continued the mission of
Jesus up to the present time
through the Church.
Through the Church, we
become sharers in this
mission. We lead others
to believe, accept, and
follow the teachings and
examples of Jesus.
The Anointing of David
1 Samuel 16
 The Anointing of David
1 Samuel 16
In the story of Israel, King Saul disobeyed
God. Since then, God was not pleased
with him anymore. So He sent the Prophet
Samuel to the house of Jesse in Bethlehem
to anoint another king.
 The Anointing of David
1 Samuel 16

Samuel prepared everything that God

commanded him to bring. He went to
Bethlehem, prepared the sacrifice offering
in the presence of Jesse, and called the
sons of Jesse one by one.
 The Anointing of David
1 Samuel 16
All the seven sons of Jesse were presented
before him, but none of them were chosen
by God to be the next leader. Jesse told
him that the youngest among his sons was
in the field pasturing his sheep.
 The Anointing of David
1 Samuel 16

Without delay, Samuel asked this kid to be

presented to him before starting the sacrificial
offering. At the arrival of David, God
commanded Samuel to anoint him right away.
Since that day, the Spirit of the Lord rested on
David.
