Jerusalem rejects God’s law, He promises destruction to the city. “I have made you a tester and a refiner among my people so that you may know and test their ways. They are all stubbornly rebellious, going about with slanders; they are bronze and iron, all of them act corruptly. The bellows blow fiercely, the lead is consumed by the fire; in vain the refining goes on, for the wicked are not removed. They are called “rejected silver,” for the Lord has rejected them.”

Forever I will keep my steadfast love for him, and my covenant with him will stand firm. I will establish his line forever, and his throne as long as the heavens endure.”

Song & Verse: Worth by Anthony Brown
You thought I was worth saving | So you came and changed my life | You thought I was worth keeping | so you cleaned me up inside | You thought I was to die for |
so you sacrificed your life
So I could be free
So I could be whole
So I could tell everyone I know
ACAD – Rejection: 1 Samuel 15
Saul disobeys God’s instructions; God rejects Saul as king. “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obedience to the voice of the Lord? Surely, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is no less a sin than divination, and stubbornness is like iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He has also rejected you from being king.”
ACAD – Rejected: 1 Samuel 10
Israel continues to reject God while accepting Saul as their king and savior. “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.’ But today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said, ‘No! but set a king over us.’”
