001 Studies on the lives of the Kings/King Saul-I'll do it my way
Intro:
We will begin a series of lesson on the lives of the kings.
God wrote about these men not just for a history lesson but for us to learn from.
Learn about the right choice they made as well mistakes and the results of their mistakes.
We are never to old to learn and grow in God’s Word.
Dr. Patton 80 years old and received his Masters degree in Biblical Studies.
Now I am not on the same plan level as he is when it comes to learning, but I do admire his zeal and his desire to learn and grow in God’s Word.
People of Israel wanted a king, so God gave Saul, whose life could be summed in a Song entilied “ I’ll do it my way”.
1.
And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
4.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way
This could be the theme song of Saul’s life.
A man that God chose to be King, but never submitted to Him, instead he decided to do it his.
But why did God chose Saul if He knew that he would fail?
ILL.
Elections in Suriname, people wanting a man who was a lyer, drug lore, murderer and a leader of rebel army.
But he made a lot of promises, he was liked amoung his people, and the characteristics of this reflected what many people were like in Suriname.

Yes, it was my way
This could be the theme song of Saul’s life.

Not because the people were rejecting his

Remarkably, he would join in with the prophets in their prophesying as the Spirit of God enabled him and he would be changed into a different person.
This was to show Saul the Spirit made the inexperienced and unlettered Saul able to assume kingly responsibilities in much the same way as the judges before him were blessed
