05 Staying Small - Facing Your Giants (MP3)We come to God small, timid and needy. He brings life to our brokenness, and gradually, and gratefully, we change. However, in time, imperceptibly, we shed our smallness. We discard Clark Kent commonness and don Superman confidence. We make the mistake of Saul. The story of David requires an understanding of Saul. King Saul designs the court David inherits. Saul fathers David's best friend, Jonathan...and first wife, Michael. Saul counter-points the life of the shepherd-boy. As David grows, Saul diminishes. As David models mercy, Saul models anger. As people admire David, they question Saul. But most of all, as God gives his spirit to David, he removes him from Saul. I. Saul's Life Saul begins small God anoints Saul Saul wins a battle II. Saul's Downfall Saul disrespects the worship of God Saul disrespects the word of God "The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you" III. Saul's Regression 1 Samuel 15 IV. Signs of a Haughty Heart Too busy to worship Too big to obey Date preached: May 1, 2005
