How the Mighty Fall: The Leadership Failure of King Saul

Jun 16, 2024  •  The Rev. Charlie Holt

Saul hid among the baggage on the day he was crowned, and his later bravado only masked that insecurity. First Samuel 15 traces his fall through partial obedience dressed up as religious devotion, as he spares King Agag and the best of the flocks. Borrowing Jim Collins' stages of decline from How the Mighty Fall, the sermon calls listeners to become people after God's own heart who truly hear and obey, the Hebrew shema.
