The enemy's strategy is to cut us off - to dismember us - from the promises and the people of God. But when we remember - when we re-member - we reattach ourselves to the hope we have in God.

It would be easy to end this series by telling everyone what they have to do - submit, obey, don't question, you get the idea - but we'd rather end it talking about what we can choose to do: lean into God's affection.

It can be hard to reconcile rejection from God with an "everybody gets a trophy" mentality, but there are hearts that God rejects, and if we want God's protection, we need to understand His rejection. In Week 3 of our Umbrella series, Paul looks at the life of Saul in order to understand how God views rebellion and how we can steer as far from it as possible.
