1 & 2 Samuel Week 4: Saul's Rise, Then Rejection | Liz Stein

"Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. Consider what great things he has done for you." –1 Samuel 12:24

Our lesson this week in 1 Samuel 8-15 highlights Israel’s transition to a monarchy, Saul's rise to power, and his eventual rejection by God due to disobedience. We saw God sovereignly work through Israel’s demand for an earthly king “like the nations” to reveal their weak faith, hard-heartedness, and their true need for a heavenly King. We were challenged to examine our own hearts, humbly repenting of sin and seeking God’s forgiveness.

1 & 2 Samuel Week 3: Israel Defeated, God Defeating | Kïrsten Christianson

In 1 Samuel 4-7, an important question is asked: “Who is able to stand before the LORD, this holy God?” Samuel’s answer comes with a promise: To stand in the presence of the LORD, you must humbly repent of your dishonoring him, put away all your idols, and serve the LORD with your whole heart . . . and he will deliver you from the Philistines--or in our case, every weight and sin which clings so closely. Today, the call of the LORD to us is the same: With all your heart, humbly destroy the idols that gravely dishonor the Lord, and serve the LORD only. By faith in Jesus, we have the grace to stand in the presence of the LORD. Hallelujah!
