1 Samuel 13-14 - Audio

In 1 Samuel 13-14, we begin to see King Saul's downward spiral. He fails to recognize his role and King and begins to act as priest, thus ending the possibility for his kingdom to be established forever. Sadly, we find that, had his kingdom continued on, His Son, Jonathan, would have made a great king. In Chapter 14 we find Jonathan stepping out in faith that God can accomplish his desires by many or by few people. The exact opposite of what his father the king had done in the previous chapter. As we dig into these chapters, we get a case study in what Godly leadership looks like, in contrast to self-reliant, prideful leadership.
