“The Lord Can Save By Many or By Few”

1 Samuel 13:15- 14:23 - Jerry Scheumann

Courage is not a personality trait, but a virtue that comes from faith in God. Consider the courageous example of Jonathan in fighting the Philistines and let that stir you up to be courageous for our Lord and His Kingdom.

“Trusting God in the Fiery Crucible”

1 Samuel 13:1-15 - Jerry Scheumann

When King Saul is placed in a fiery trial, he refuses to obey the word of the Lord, and as a result, his royal dynasty is rejected by God. This teaches us the folly of disobeying God (even in the most difficult situations) and it points to the glory of the perfect obedience of Christ for our salvation.
