Rev. George Murdaugh, pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Douglasville, Georgia, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study 1 Samuel 15.
“Samuel grieved over Saul. And the LORD regretted that he had made Saul king over Israel.” Chapter 15 pulls no punches. Saul truly was a good king who was filled with God’s Spirit, obeying in piety and humility. But towards the end of his reign, Saul became increasingly insecure about his power and status, and he eventually “feared the people” more than God. Even Moses pridefully struck the rock after 40 years in defense of his own authority—at the expense of God’s name. But God “is not a man, that he should have regret.” He ousts the kings we have asked for, who always disappoint even despite their faith, in order to establish His Christ, who listens to God and gives us more than we ever dared to ask.
