Saul Falls Short

Conrad Hilario

1 Samuel 11-15

Although God chose Saul to be king, not because of any innate abilities of Saul, but because God chose to elevate him to ruler of the Israelites, Saul never viewed himself the way God viewed him. He believed he had to prove himself to be king material instead of trusting in God's ability to make him a worthy king. This led to Saul making many foolish, fearful decisions that went against God's commands and thus leading to him losing his role as king.

We Want a King!

Scott Risley

1 Samuel 8-10

The calling of Saul can teach us important lessons in spiritual leadership. Servant leaders need to prepare ahead of their calling and must be willing to be different. God calls them to cling to these three truths of spiritual leadership: Listen to Me and I will supply all you need, these people are Mine, and I love you.

God's New Man

Dennis McCallum

1 Samuel 15-17

After Saul's repeated disobedience to God's commands, God picks a new leader, the young shepherd boy, David. When the armies of God are being defied by the Philistine giant, Goliath, David trusts God to give Goliath into his hand even though he is only armed with a stone and a sling. Where the entire Israelite army cowered in fear, David had a divine perspective and was willing to do something audacious.

Saul

Dennis McCallum

1 Samuel 10-14

Although Saul, the new king of Israel, was a good general who led the Israelites into some successful battles against the Philistines, he neglected to wait on God and took matters into his own hands. Fame and success led him to make foolish decisions and lean on self-will and manipulation instead of trusting and waiting on God.

The Dawn of a New Era

Scott Risley

1 Samuel 1-3

As the time of the Judges comes to a close, Hannah, a faithful servant of the Lord, as promised, offers her only child, Samuel, to the Lord to be His servant. Eli, an unfaithful priest, was unwilling to discipline his sons or show tough love. Samuel, when God calls, answers with, "Here I am!"

The God Who Is Ethical Part 2

James Rochford

Exodus 20:12-17

The Law was given to us for our good. God knows much better than we do about what is good for us. The Law was designed to teach us how far short we fall from God's moral standard and lead us to Christ to receive mercy.
