Lesson 10 - The Impatience of Saul

In this lesson, we will explore 1 Samuel 13:1-22 and reflect on the moment when Israel faced the daunting might of the Philistine army. Despite recent victories, Israel's faith was tested as they found themselves ill-prepared and outmatched. During this dire situation, Saul acted impulsively by offering a sacrifice, something he was not authorized to do, instead of waiting for the prophet Samuel as prescribed by God. We will learn valuable lessons about the importance of trusting in God, the dangers of acting out of fear, and the need to always follow God's will, even in the most desperate circumstances.
