"Then Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” And his servants said to him, “Behold, there is a woman who is a medium at En-dor.” (1 Samuel 28:7).

This chapter of the Word of God gives us an account of something that happened in the life of King Saul. Saul, as we have already seen, was the first king of Israel. He began well but he ended badly. This is the night before he died. He committed a sin on this night before he died greater than all the sins that he had committed in his life before. His sin was this: he went to a woman that had a ‘familiar spirit’. She was a witch. He wanted to have information about what was going to happen the next day, because on that next day King Saul was facing a terrible enemy on the field of battle – the Philistines. We know this battle occurred at Mount Gilboa. It was the final defeat for a King who had abandoned God and His Word to pursue popular victory over godly success.

Sunday we will hear this story and be reminded of several key life lessons – 1) Wait on God! 2) No Shortcuts! 3) Sin cannot EVER be the right answer! 4) God’s Work will be done God’s Way by God’s Word. Lots to cover – don’t miss this unique story and important spiritual lessons – see you Sunday!
