Primary Text: 1 Samuel 28:3-20

This Sunday is the last week of the sermon series: How to Squander Your Potential. We have been looking at the story of King Saul and finding how not to live into our God-given potential. This week's story, found 1 Samuel 28, in what of the oddest stories in Scripture, where Saul yet again gives us a great example of what not to do. What do you do when God is silent? What have you learned about yourself during difficult times like these? How do we grow in our relationship with the Lord to the point where we trust Him in these moments? What does God have you reflecting on this week? Join us Sunday at 10:30am... and our worship service will be both online and inside! The link to the online service is on our website at (www.emmettnaz.org) and click on the Link to the Service. If you would like to start preparing, read 1 Samuel 28.
