This sermon examines King Saul’s life to reveal what true repentance is not. Through Saul’s jealous pursuit of David and his false apology in 1 Samuel 24, we learn that genuine repentance admits the full weight of sin, actively works to make things right, selflessly elevates others, and truly desires change—not mere words or empty regret.
