About this listen

Focusing on 1 Samuel chapter 13, Andrew unpacks the narrative of King Saul, highlighting the central tension between what is "asked for" and "hearing God".
Hardship serves as a "sifting" process, distinguishing those who remain faithful to God from those who scatter. Saul's actions reveal a reliance on human strength and numbers, contrasting with God's focus on the heart and trust. Andrew explains that Saul's disobedience involved neglecting both the logos (written scripture) and the rhema (prophetic instruction), demonstrating a failure to truly listen and endure God's word. Are we prone to "giving God a hand" out of impatience, like Abraham or Uzziah, which can lead to unforeseen negative consequences.
