Why did God allow His first king to go out in such a horrible way‚ his head cut off‚ no armor and laid there in disgrace before God’s enemies as they rejoiced and laughed. Saul was God’s chosen man for a new direction for the nation of Israel

week’s sermon was “Get-Off Your High Horse.” The phrase has come to mean stop looking down upon someone else‚ or thinking that you are better or smarter than someone else.
