Living by Faith as the Church | A Proper Response (1 Samuel 13:8-14 and Romans 12:1)

Summary

In this sermon, the speaker uses a personal story about preparing smoked pork belly with his son to illustrate the theme of human disappointment and unexpected responses, drawing a parallel to how people might respond to God's efforts and gifts. The anecdote serves as a relatable introduction to exploring biblical narratives of human reactions to divine intervention, specifically hinting at a deeper examination of King Saul's story. The practical takeaway suggests that despite our best intentions and hard work, we may not always receive the response or gratitude we expect, both in parenting and in our relationship with God.
