The Tale of Two Hearts
Luke 10:26 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.
SAUL, A WORLDLY HEART
1 Samuel 9.2
SAUL, A WORLDLY HEART
1. Saul disobeyed God’s word.
SAUL, A WORLDLY HEART
1 Samuel 13:8 He waited seven days, the time set by Samuel; but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and Saul’s men began to scatter.
SAUL, A WORLDLY HEART
9So he said, “Bring me the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings”
SAUL, A WORLDLY HEART
10And Saul offered up the burnt offering. Just as he finished making the offering, Samuel arrived, and Saul went out to greet him.
SAUL, A WORLDLY HEART
11“What have you done?” asked Samuel. Saul replied,
SAUL, A WORLDLY HEART
“When I saw that the men were scattering, and that you did not come at the set time, and that the Philistines were assembling at Micmash,
SAUL, A WORLDLY HEART
12I thought, ‘Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the Lord’s favor.’ So I felt compelled to offer the burnt offering.”
SAUL, A WORLDLY HEART
13“You acted foolishly,” Samuel said. “You have not kept the command the Lord your God gave you;
SAUL, A WORLDLY HEART
if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time.
SAUL, A WORLDLY HEART
14But now your kingdom will not endure; the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him leader of his people,
SAUL, A WORLDLY HEART
because you have not kept the Lord’s command.”
SAUL, A WORLDLY HEART
1 Samuel 15
SAUL, A WORLDLY HEART
2. Saul’s success turned to pride.
SAUL, A WORLDLY HEART
1 Samuel 15:22 To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
SAUL, A WORLDLY HEART
Because you have rejected the word of the Lord he has rejected you as king.
