You Said You’d Change… But Kept the Spear

You said you’d change—but are you still holding onto what makes it easy to fall back into sin?

In this verse-by-verse teaching of 1 Samuel 19:1–11, “You Said You’d Change… But Kept the Spear,” Pastor Jeffrey Anderson explores Saul’s growing jealousy, Jonathan’s courageous friendship, and the difference between temporary conviction and lasting heart change.

Saul promised David would not be killed, yet soon reached for his spear again. His behavior briefly changed, but the bitterness underneath remained.

Discover why we must address sin at its root, how unresolved anger gives the enemy a foothold, and why genuine repentance includes removing opportunities to return to old patterns.
