A Tragic Life Meets a Tragic End
Preacher: John Buckley Series: I Samuel Scripture: 1 Samuel 31:1-13
I Samuel 31
Samuel - the man who heard from God - died quietly
David - the man who was a friend of God - won spectacularly
Saul - the man who ran from God - died tragically
The Battle is Lost
Soldiers flee (vs 1)
Sons die (vs 2)
The King is Dead
Wounded Warrior (vs 3)
Desperate Man (vs 4)
Dead Monarch (vs 4)
The Fallout is Immense
Armor bearer commits suicide (vs 5-6)
People run in fear (vs 7)
Philistines occupy the land (vs 7)
Saul’s body is desecrated (vs 8-10)
The People Remember
A committed city (vs 11)
A nightime raid (vs 12)
A final farewell (vs 13)
Final Thoughts
Todays choices lead to tomorrow’s victories and defeats...Choose wisely
God will not be mocked...You're not the exception
A good start does not mean good finish...Think before you act
