Under the Tamarisk Tree

Morning Service
Sep 13, 2020

King Saul, who began his reign with great promise and potential, was brutally and disgracefully defeated by the Philistines. His tragic story is a warning to all of us, cautions Alistair Begg. The Bible teaches that death is not the end of existence; therefore, placing hope in human power is folly. Confronted by political chaos, social disintegration, and our own mortality, we are reminded that our hope and refuge is Jesus, the only King who triumphed over death and hell.

Topics: Biblical Figures, Death, Jesus as King, Providence of God

1 Samuel 31:1-13
