Domino Effect: When Compromise Comes First - Pastor Colby Rohde

In Domino Effect: When Compromise Comes First, we examine the tragic decline of King Saul in 1 Samuel, a man who started with promise but drifted through compromise. Chosen by God and anointed by Samuel, Saul ignored warnings, took spiritual detours, and let fear, pride, and control guide his decisions. His downfall wasn’t sudden, it was a slow fade of partial obedience.In a moment of honesty, Saul confesses, “I have acted like a fool.” His story is a mirror for all of us, leaders, parents, and everyday people under pressure. When we follow our own way instead of God’s, we risk spiritual ruin.But it doesn’t have to end that way. There’s grace in the detour. And in Jesus, the true King who obeyed fully and led humbly, we find the road back.
