1 Samuel 11-12 | Saul's Victory, Samuel's Farewell

In this message from 1 Samuel chapters 11 and 12, Pastor Gerrit Hoeks shares on Saul’s first major test as king and Samuel’s farewell to the people of Israel. The sermon explores Saul’s unexpected courage in defending Jabesh-Gilead, the importance of godly leadership, and Samuel’s reminder to the nation of God’s continued faithfulness—even when they chose their own way. We see how righteous anger, when shaped by God’s Spirit, can lead to meaningful action, and how Samuel’s life of quiet integrity and consistent service provides an example for us today.
