Preached by Jared Kress on 6/21/26. 

Main Idea: 
In a last-minute, desperate move on the brink of battle, King Saul consults a pagan medium to speak with Samuel one last time. 

Challenge: 
You cannot shoehorn a godly legacy into a last-ditch moment, especially by taking shortcuts. Live out a routine, faithful, daily pursuit of The Lord, and trust Him with your life. 
  
In King Saul’s desperate final hours, he offers a template for a failed leader:
1. Misplaced Fears
2. Destroyed Spiritual Infrastructure
3. A Double Life
4. Flippant Spirituality
5. Grand Last Minute Gestures
