Day 84: Obedience, REJECTION, And Sovereignty in 1 Samuel 13-15 | Bible In A Year (CSB)


Listen Later

For Day 84 of our "Bible in a Year" playlist, we delve into 1 Samuel 13-15, where Saul’s reign unravels through impatience and disobedience. His unlawful sacrifice and failure to fully obey God’s command against the Amalekites lead to his rejection as king, revealing the high cost of prioritizing human will over divine authority.Questions:1. Saul’s decision to offer the sacrifice himself in chapter 13 stems from fear and pragmatism—how does this challenge us to consider whether partial obedience reflects a deeper mistrust in God’s timing and providence?2. In chapter 15, God regrets making Saul king, yet remains sovereign—how do we reconcile human failure and divine regret with the unchanging nature of God’s will and character?3. Samuel declares that “to obey is better than sacrifice” (1 Sam. 15:22)—theologically, how does this principle point us to the heart of true worship and foreshadow Christ’s perfect obedience?Use my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here
