The life of King Saul could be summed up in a modern cliché: It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. Saul started out very well only to see his subsequent disobedient actions derail what could have been a stellar, God-honoring rule over the nation of Israel. Through a series of very serious SPIRITUAL blunders, Saul’s spiral downward ended in his own destruction. While he would be allowed to serve out the rest of his life as king, he was plagued by an evil spirit that tormented him and brought about waves of madness. Saul’s final years were profoundly tragic as he endured periods of deep manic depression and ended in the taking of his own life. How is it possible that a man can be at the pinnacle at one moment and totally destroyed the next? Be in your seats this Sunday as a voice from the grave of Saul screams loudly warning us not to make the same mistakes he made -- LEST WE REPEAT THEM!
