The King’s Self-Deception

A sermon on 1 Samuel 15

The gospel has the power to free you from self-deception because it assures you that you are both fully known (you don’t have to hide or pretend) and fully loved (you are welcomed and accepted in Christ).

This sermon was preached on September 1, 2024, at Grace Bible Church in Escondido, California.
