Saul is Chosen
June 7, 2026
Dave Brereton traces how God was at work in the ordinary and frustrating details of Saul’s life, using something as mundane as searching for lost donkeys to orchestrate a divine appointment and call him as king. He emphasizes that God similarly shapes our character through everyday interruptions and invites us to respond with curiosity, humility, and obedience rather than frustration. The message challenges listeners to recognize God’s hand in daily circumstances, listen to His prompting, and faithfully obey rather than resisting or taking control.

John Marcogliese presents 1 Samuel 16 as the pivotal turning point in Israel's story, where God rejects Saul and chooses David, demonstrating that the true Kingmaker is God himself. Contrasting the world's focus on outward appearance, power, and ambition with God's priorities, he explains that the Lord looks at the heart and delights in people who pursue him with humility, obedience, and trust. The message ultimately points beyond David to Jesus, the true King, showing that God's sovereign plan of redemption unfolds through his surprising choices rather than human expectations.
Saul’s Jealousy

Joash John explains that 1 Samuel 18-19 marks the beginning of Saul's downfall, showing how comparison gave birth to jealousy, jealousy corrupted his heart, and ultimately drove him to oppose both David and God's purposes. He contrasts Saul's self-centered pursuit of recognition with David's humble trust in God's sovereignty, concluding that the gospel frees believers from comparison by rooting their identity, security, and worth in Christ rather than in the success or approval of others.
