What happens when we rush ahead of God? In 1 Samuel 13, we find King Saul under pressure—afraid, impatient, and driven to disobedience. His fear caused him to forget God's promises. His impatience led him to take matters into his own hands. And ultimately, his disobedience cost him the future God intended.

This message explores how fear, impatience, and self-reliance can drive us outside of God’s best—but it also reminds us of the hope found in Jesus, the true and better King who obeyed perfectly on our behalf.

Key Takeaways:

-Fear grows when we forget God's promises
-Impatience pushes us outside of God's timing
-Disobedience robs us of God's best
-Obedience flows not from pressure but from God’s love through Christ

Let’s learn to wait well, trust deeply, and follow Jesus fully.

Where have you struggled with rushing God’s timing? What helps you wait in faith?
