The Anatomy of Saul's Sin
Chase Replogle
Pastor
As well as things seemed to be going for Saul, chapter 13 brings it all to an abrupt halt. Things are unraveling. Saul’s army is deserting. The Israelites fleeing out of the promise land. And Saul is desperate.
He waits as long as he can for Samuel, but finally, is overcome by the pressure of the moment and offers the sacrifice himself. It seems like a small sin to us—impatience. But for it Saul will lose is crown. How can that be?
