1 Samuel 15

1 SamuelSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg reflects on 1 Samuel chapter 15, where King Saul disobeys God by sparing the Amalekites and their livestock. Gregg argues that while God knows everything, the future is still undetermined and unknowable, and that even with good intentions, disobedience to God is still wrong. He also notes that rebellion against God can be influenced by demonic powers. Ultimately, Gregg concludes that Saul's disobedience leads God to grieve, and ultimately allows for God to change His mind about Saul's kingship.
