Saul's first few tests as a king already began to demonstrate some disturbing tendencies to his leadership. Feeling the pressure of the enemies of Israel on one side and of God's own people fleeing from him in fear on the other, Saul gives in to the circumstances and abandons God's commandment to him. What do you do when following Jesus gets tough? Do you compromise and falter? Do you lower your standards? In today's message, Pastor Mark will warn us to never allow our decisions to be driven by self-will and insecurity. God's people must be committed to obedience and completely submitted to God's will.
