Choice 6: 1 Samuel 9-10. Saul Anointed King in Israel

1.    Read 1 Samuel 9-10 and list the qualities of Saul that made him a good choice to be king.

 Saul was a good person.  He was higher than any of the people shoulder wise.  God was with Him. 

1.    Read Articles of Faith 1:5 and briefly explain in writing how the calling of Saul to be king in Israel follows the same pattern of choosing leaders in the Church today.

We believe that a man must be called of God by prophecy and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.  Saul was called by God and was chosen through the proper authority which was Samuel.
