THE REJECTED VESSEL (Par t 3)

Text: 1 Samuel 15

INTRODUCTION:

In the last part of this series, we learnt that no one could be wiser

than God and that partial obedience is dangerous.

Today, as we continue in our studies, may the Lord Himself speak

to us and bless us richly in Jesus Name.

1. THE VAIN SACRIFICE

The sacrifice truly offered unto God is a blessing but when offered in

disobedience and unrighteousness, it becomes vain and

unacceptable before God.

I Sam. 15:18-22, Isa. 1:11-13, Jer. 7:22-23, Hos. 6:6, Mic. 6:7-8,

Eccl. 5:1, Mk. 12:333, Heb. 10:6-9, Ps. 51:16-17.

2. REBELLION IS A TERRIBLE SIN

To rebel simply means to refuse to obey or resist authority or control.

The sin of rebellion is so terrible that it was likened to witchcraft in the

Bible. God hates a rebel.

I Sam. 15:23, Jn. 6:38, 8:47, I Sam. 12:14-15, Ps. 5:10-11, Prov.

17:11, Isa. 30:1, Ez. 20:38, Mic. 5:12, Ps. 78:8-11, Dan. 9:5-6, I

Sam. 13:14, Ex. 22:18, Isa. 1:19-20.
