Saul's Fall (II) - The Imprudence of Saul | Pastor Courtney Hall

SCRIPTURE TEXT: 1 Samuel 14:1-52  There’s a little bit of Saul in us all. God appointed & anointed that first King of Israel to lead His people in purity of spirit, with the integrity of heart. But Saul used his royal position according to his own terms & agenda. In the prior lesson from 1 Samuel 13, we saw how Saul’s fear of failure in battling the Philistines led him to jump ahead of God, trying to force God to follow Saul’s timeline, by offering the priestly sacrifice himself in violation of God’s command. Next, in 1 Samuel 14, we see how Saul’s impatience begot imprudence, as the effects of his fear produced the fruit of foolishness in his reign & created added risks for his people. To avoid such imprudence ourselves, we can ask God to grant us the patience & wisdom, found in His living word, and we can obey Him.   SUNDAY ENGLISH SERVICE   PREACHER: Pastor Courtney Hall   DATE: Sep. 25, 2022.  SERVICE TIME: 10:30 am (PDT) | In-Person & Online*   SERIES: The Samuel Story (Part 10) | SERMON: Saul's Fall (II) - The Imprudence of Saul Sermon Slides
