Outline

  1. Thesis: True wisdom and guidance come only from God, illustrating the danger and folly of seeking spiritual insight through forbidden means. Baptist

    Introduction: In 1 Samuel 28, we witness Saul's desperate search for guidance outside God's will.

    1. Saul, facing the Philistine army, is fearful and seeks God's guidance, but God does not answer him (1 Samuel 28:5-6).
        A. Saul's previous disobedience to God's commands led to his current predicament, emphasizing the consequences of turning from God.
        B. This illustrates the importance of maintaining a personal relationship with God for guidance and wisdom.
    2. In his desperation, Saul turns to a medium for guidance instead of seeking God, violating God's commandments (1 Samuel 28:7).
        A. God had clearly forbidden witchcraft and mediums, highlighting the danger of seeking wisdom outside his word (Deuteronomy 18:10-12).
        B. Saul's actions show the folly and ruin of not trusting in God's timing and methods.
    3. The encounter with the medium underscores the emptiness of seeking wisdom apart from God (1 Samuel 28:11-20).
        A. Though Saul received a message, it was one of judgment, not guidance, demonstrating that false sources offer no true peace.
        B. This highlights the necessity for believers to depend on God's Word and Christ for true wisdom and salvation (James 1:5).

    Conclusion: True guidance and wisdom come from God alone through prayer and Scripture. Avoid seeking knowledge through means God forbids. Commit to a personal relationship with God and seek his wisdom for every situation.
