Saul, Anti-Anointed King: 1 Samuel 15: 10-11, 24-28

In 1 Samuel 15:10-11 and 24-28, Saul, the king that God anointed to lead the Israelites, loses the Spirit of God for ignoring God’s commands. Saul was the perfect king by every nation’s standard, doing what kings should do, but as Pastor Cana explains, God’s favor isn’t measured by expectations, declarations, or previous presence, but by obedience to God’s Spirit. We are free from being “good Christians”! Instead, attentiveness to God’s Spirit will guide us to live our faith.
