The Kingdom - Obedience
Matthew 7:24
- Talks about two men who built their house.
- Talks about building our lives on obedience.
One of the Great
- Examples of obedience is found in I Samuel 15.
Disobedience
- Is blind. Saul can not see that he disobeyed the Word of God.
Saul Thought His Idea
- Was better than God’s. He did what was right in his eyes.
Saul’s Reasoning
- I went on the mission the Lord assigned me.
- I completely destroyed the Amalekites.
- I brought back Agag their king.
- The soldiers took the sheep and cattle from the plunder to sacrifice to the Lord.
Samuel’s Response:
- Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the Lord.
- To obey is better than sacrifice.
Saul’s Disobedience
- Is rooted in rebellion.
- Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft.
Why Is Rebellion So Serious to God?
- Example of Lucifer.
- Why Lucifer & fallen angels can not be redeemed?
- They were not deceived, they knew what they were doing.
This Is Why Jesus Says:
- Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord. Didn’t we do all these great things in your name.
- But He will say, “I never knew you, depart.”
A Rebellious Believer
- Can not see his wrong because he lives a life of disobedience.
- Saul was this type of person and was rejected by God as a result.
This Is The Only Time
- God will reject people.
- Rebellion and stubbornness are very serious sins to God.
We Are All Admonished
- To examine our hearts and see that there is no rebellion or stubborn streak in us.
- To walk humbly before our God and to show mercy.
