fear on SermonAudio

Samuel delivers a farewell address to Israel as he transitions from the role of judge to Saul's kingship, defending his integrity and recounting God's historical deliverance of the nation.

The sermon emphasizes the necessity of fearing the Lord and serving Him with all one's heart while remembering His past blessings. It concludes by highlighting the immediate consequences of Saul's impatience and failure to wait on God, illustrating the dangers of self-reliance over divine timing.
