If I were to ask you to name the most well-known verse in John’s Gospel, you’d answer it instantly—John 3:16. Everyone knows it. But if I were to ask you for the most famous verse in 1 Samuel… well, that’s trickier.

Yet the moment I say the words, you’ll recognise them:

“To obey is better than sacrifice.”

But what does it actually mean? That question takes us straight into one of the most arresting moments in Saul’s life—an event that exposes the human heart, reveals the nature of true worship, and confronts us with a truth as relevant today as ever.
