Results Of Rebellion Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Oct 1, 2022

Saul brought on his own destruction. Saul became a person who feared man instead of fearing God. Every leader needs to know that no matter what height they obtain that their position is from God, and they never are above keeping God’s law.

A drunken sailor falls off the boat. His mother was devout Christian. His father was a rebellious sea captain. When his mother died, he followed the ways of his father. He strayed so far and had no fear of the Lord. His life was total moral bankruptcy. He reached such a low point that one day he ...read more
