0:00.0	Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.
0:06.4	First Chronicles chapter 10, verses 13 and 14.
0:10.6	So Saul died for his breach of faith.
0:13.5	He broke faith with the Lord
0:15.4	in that he did not keep the command of the Lord
0:18.2	and also consulted a medium seeking guidance. He did not seek
0:23.2	guidance from the Lord. Therefore, the Lord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David,
0:31.4	the son of Jesse. Did you hear that language? Saul died for his breach of faith. What a phrase, his breach of faith.
0:42.4	And the next phrase, he broke faith with the Lord. What does that mean to break faith with the Lord?
0:48.8	Well, it goes on to say in that he did not keep the command of the Lord. So to disobey God's commands is to break

1:39.4	gospel, the greatest news in the world, is that Jesus has paid the price for our disobedience.
1:44.7	Jesus has been faithful, where we have been unfaithful, and he's paid the price for our sin
1:50.1	and conquered sin and death in the grave and risen and ascended on high as our Savior and Lord.
1:57.1	So we trust in Him, so then let's live with faith in Him. Let's not break faith with the Lord. So we trust in Him. So then, let's live with faith in Him. Let's not break faith with the Lord.
2:05.2	Let's obey all the commands of the Lord today. Let's seek guidance from the Lord. I don't know what
