Thanks to Chris Chumita for bringing the Word to us last week.
If you were with us 2 weeks ago, you may remember that what we focused on in our passage - was FEAR.
Our passage was SATURATED with - FEAR - and it was fear that led Saul to the choices that he made.
We saw that BECAUSE Saul’s fear was ROOTED in EVERYTHING OTHER than God...
....his fear
Fear Fueled him Toward Disobedience:
If you remember - Saul was afraid to DIE at the hands of the Philistines, and so he TRIES to get some answers from - GOD...
God DOES NOT answer him - so he decides - “I’m gonna reach out to a medium…who can contact a dead spirit for me...”
WHO was he wanting to talk to?
Samuel - Samuel had DIED - but why did Saul want to talk to Samuel...
Because he REALLY wanted to hear from - GOD!
Which showed us!....
Saul’s FEAR - rooted in DEATH...
Fear Fueled him To Embrace God as Savior But Not As Lord
Saul was constantly DISOBEYING God...
So Saul wasn’t INTERESTED in God - as LORD of his life...
Saul just wanted God to - SAVE HIM…!
And so without FEAR in GOD…Saul’s...
Fear Fueled him To Use God For his own Purposes
And OUR FEAR - can do the same for us...
Our fear - can either GROUND us in a PURSUIT of God...
OR - it can KEEP US FROM - pursuing God!
And so TODAY - we’ll come to our last sermon - that will COVER ANY NEW ground in this book of 1 Samuel...
Next week - we’ll spend some time - LOOKING BACK...
But as far as GAINING ground in this book…today we close it out!
SO let’s get to our text...
NOW - If we just circle back to v1 - we’ll see our first point in action...
NOW - given ALL that we’ve seen so far in this book...
AND the decisions that Israel made over that period of time...
We see this...
