Put to death what the Lord says to

This sermon on 1 Samuel 15 explores Saul’s disobedience to God’s command to completely destroy the Amalekites and how his compromise revealed pride, fear of man, and a shallow form of worship. The passage highlights the danger of valuing human approval over obedience to God, the grief we cause when we resist His word, and the generational consequences of leaving sin undealt with. Samuel’s rebuke—“to obey is better than sacrifice”—underscores that true worship flows from obedience, not religious performance. The message challenges listeners to identify and put to death the “Agags” in their own lives before they take root in future generations, reminding us that humility, obedience, and reverence for God are essential to a life that honors Him
