“How the Mighty Fall”
Jun 16, 2024 • Rev. Charlie Holt
In this sermon from 1 Samuel 15, The Rev. Charlie Holt examines the tragic downfall of King Saul through the lens of biblical narrative and leadership insight. Drawing from Jim Collins’ How the Mighty Fall, he explores how insecurity masked by pride, disobedience cloaked in religiosity, and the refusal to truly listen to God led to Saul’s rejection as king. Contrasting Saul’s external bravado with David’s internal devotion, this message challenges us to become people after God’s own heart—those who Shema: hear and obey the Word of the Lord.
