The Tragedy of Listening and the Comedy of the Gospel

1 Samuel 28:1-25

Give

1 Samuel 28:1-25 // Saul's tragic story shows us that God does not answer those who will not listen. The good news is that in the gospel, God in Christ unplugs our ears.

The Clarity of The End

May 16, 2021 • Drake Osborn

1 Samuel 31:1-13 // We can summarize the tragedy of Saul with these two observations: 1) self-autonomy brings self-destruction and 2) self-preservation brings idolatry. It's not too late to see the tragedy and bow the knee to the true king.

The Gospel Brook

May 9, 2021 • Drake Osborn

1 Samuel 29:1-30:31 // God's story in bringing his anointed king out of the wilderness comes to a close, and we see three gospel lenses: The Understated Gospel (For The Stuck), The Relentless Gospel (For the Overwhelmed), and The Extravagant Gospel (For The Weary).

Justice and Mercy

April 25, 2021 • Bracken Arnhart

1 Samuel 26:1-27:12 // God's justice enables our mercy, because by seeing and trusting the justice of God in the gospel we receive confidence, salvation, and wisdom.
