1 Samuel 13:1-14 - The Gospel According to Samuel

John Wesley, the founder of Methodism and the brother of the famous hymn writer Charles Wesley, once said, “there is no little sin, because there is no little God to sin against.” This week, we turn to 1 Samuel 13 and a puzzling incident in the life of King Saul. It seems, at first glance, that Saul’s sin is little and that Samuel makes too much of it. But Samuel says Saul’s sin has provoked the Lord to look for a new king. How should we understand God’s expectations and God’s judgment, especially when we honestly consider our own faithlessness in big and little ways? The answer stretches from Genesis to Revelation, from King Adam to King Jesus. Join us this Sunday to discover why!
