God Rejects Saul (1 Samuel 15)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 10, 2025

Are we deserving of God's rejection like Saul or are we people after God's heart like David? Let's begin in 1 Samuel 15.

What was the ultimate cause of Saul’s failure as king of Israel? Was his obedience to God partial and inconsistent? Did he desire to glorify himself or God? Let’s look in 1 Samuel 15.
