King Saul’s life holds a powerful mirror to the struggles we all face with fear. Sometimes the greatest obstacles are not obvious sins but more subtle anxieties, doubts, and worries that quietly entangle our hearts. In this sermon, we examine Saul’s story, peeling back the layers to reveal how fear—whether of enemies, people, or losing what we hold dear—can become a devastating force in our decision-making and spiritual walk.
