Laughed at Rejected and Despised. (1 Sam 9:26-10:27)

In this episode, we explore the dramatic public unveiling of Saul as Israel’s first king — and what happens when obedience meets opposition.

Samuel calls the nation together, rebukes their rejection of God, and presents Saul — a man humble, capable, and chosen by God for a season. Yet not everyone celebrates. Some despise him. Others mock. And in that tension, we find a timeless truth about rejection, faithfulness, and peace.

Join us as we uncover three powerful lessons from Saul’s story:

1. Consider the Source – Rejection often says more about others than about you.
2.  Hold Your Peace – Don’t let anyone steal what God has given you.
3. Let the Lord Be Your Judge – His verdict is the only one that matters.

“I am small and despised, yet I do not forget Your precepts.” – Psalm 119:141
