1 Samuel: Saul's Rise and Fall

1 Samuel: 8-15

The book of 1 Samuel tracks the historic narrative of two Israelite kings: Saul and David. Saul's reign begins humbly as "the people's choice," but crashes when he rejects God and succumbs to jealous pride. David, the famed giant slayer, also struggles with temptation and ego as king, but finds peace by chasing after God's heart. Horizon's verse-by-verse Equipping study of 1 Samuel offers timeless insight on how to lead well by listening to God.
