We 3 Kings 2: King Saul
Saul was the first king in Israel and his downfall came because of his own self-deception. Saul shows how easy it is to become self-deceived. We first begin to shift blame with words like, “It’s not my fault!” Next, we seek to justify our actions as being okay when they aren’t. Elisabeth Elliot said her father would tell her and her brother growing up, “There’s no use singing Jesus praises when you’re being disobedient.” The human heart has an incredible capacity for self-deception, and that was King Saul’s story... as well as our own. What went wrong with Saul is what goes wrong in us: we forget that God is the one who gives us our worth and value, we forget that God delights in us as His children, and we forget that He has given us His favor in Jesus.
From Series: "We 3 Kings"
We Three Kings is our last series for the year of 2018 that looks at God's revelation of His Son to various people throughout the Scriptures. We look at the "Three Kings" or wise men from Matthew chapter 2 in how Jesus revealed Himself as God come to earth for our rescue. We will then look at Israel's first King Saul, how Jesus can and should be enough for us. Next we will take a look at Israel's greatest King, David, and how all of our life should be bound up in God. We will then look at Israel's wisest king, Solomon, and how easy it is to be lead astray by our own desires. On Christmas Eve we will culminate the series by focusing on Jesus as our true King.
