I. THE ARROGANCE OF SAUL

“Pride is the only disease known to man that makes everyone sick except the person who has
it.”

“When you sin, you have only two choices: either you confess your sin to God or you create
excuses that make sin acceptable to your conscience.” (Tripp-3/30)

Saul’s big blunders:

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. Offering a (sacrifice) out of fear
                  2. Blaming the people for his (disobedience)
                  3. Grabbing (Samuel’s cloak)

                  2. His service to (King Saul) as a musician
                  3. His battle against (Goliath)
                  4. His (avoidance) of Saul’s hit against him
                  5. His rescue from a foolish act by (Abigail)
                  6. His (forgiveness) of Abner
