We Are Saul | 1 Samuel 13-15 | The King Is Coming - Week 6

🎙️ Sermon Series: “The King is Coming”

SERIES SUMMARY

We were made by God—to love Him, worship Him, obey Him, and rely completely on Him. But like the people in 1 Samuel, we often reject God's rule and clamor for something else—someone else—to lead us. In 1 Samuel, we see the rise and fall of kings, the longing for security, the failure of human leaders, and the ache for something more. Even Israel's best king couldn't deliver what only God could provide.

Through it all, God was preparing His people—not just for a better king, but for the true King. Jesus is the King of kings—perfect in obedience, humble in heart, righteous in judgment, and faithful in love. Every other king falls short of His glory. Our deepest need isn't just leadership or strength or success—it's King Jesus.

The King is coming. And His name is Jesus.

SERMON SUMMARY

Saul’s story in 1 Samuel 13–15 exposes the disobedience in our own hearts—we are like him in more ways than we’d like to admit. But where Saul failed, Jesus obeyed perfectly, and He is the coming King in whom we must place our hope, faith, and trust.
