1 Samuel 13:3-4 (4/25/19)
* Saul made a classic mistake as a leader that showed he was a bad leader.
* His son attacked the Philistine outpost.
* But the news alert Saul crafted was that “he” attacked it.
* The best running backs in the NFL give credit to their lineman.
* This was the beginning of Saul’s downfall.
* Up to this point Saul prophesied, stood boldly, and led the people to victory.
* Now, because he had a few victories under his belt, he started to find his identity in winning and being the best.
* He began to focus on building his own kingdom and personal brand rather than God’s.
* vs 8-11 - the result of Saul trying to build his own brand ultimately lead the people to run away from him.
* So, in order to keep them around, he ended up crossing God’s boundaries.
* He did this because he was trying to keep his platform.
* Pastors today who want to keep their congregations around and their brands in tact put themselves in a position to cross God’s boundaries in other areas because they have lost their wisdom.
