Crowned but Crushed: Saul’s Warning for Our Calling // David (Part 2) // Pastor Drew

🔥🔥🔥 "When it comes to obedience, good intent is NOT good enough." - Pastor Drew In this powerful sermon, "Crowned but Crushed: Saul's Warning for Our Calling," Pastor Drew delivers a timely message that connects the story of King Saul to the challenges we face today. Starting in 1 Samuel 8. Using the life of King Saul as a cautionary tale, he highlights a critical truth for anyone seeking to live a life of purpose: 1️⃣ God will give you what isn’t best for you Learn why Saul's anointing ultimately crushed him. Discover why God is more concerned with building your character than your calling, and how your spiritual foundation must be strong enough to support the blessings and responsibilities God places on your life. 2️⃣ Your character upholds your calling Find out how Saul's downfall began with his fear of the people and his disobedience to God. This message will challenge you to examine where your obedience truly lies—with God or with the voices of those around you. 3️⃣ Your character is determined by your faith Pastor Drew emphasizes that true character is not built on your own efforts, but on a surrendered life to Jesus Christ. This sermon is a powerful call to action for our generation to be a people who are not just crowned with a calling, but whose character is strong enough to sustain it. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 - Introduction & Current Events 02:15 - Spiritual Warfare & The "Jesus Issue" 04:12 - A Deeper Pursuit of Faith 10:38 - The Story of King Saul 19:21 - Character Upholds Your Calling 29:39 - Obedience Over Sacrifice 34:38 - Faith and Character 39:55 - The Great Segregation 46:16 - The Call to Commit -------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for joining us for Collective Church Online!
