I. Hearing the Word of God is both a privilege and a priority.
hearing the word

Amalek - The Amalekites were an ancient tribe.
They were nomadic; that is, they traveled around.
And they occupied southern Canaan.
They were descendants of Esau and thus they were out of the line of promise, as indicates.
They were the perennial enemies of the Jews once the Jews came into the land of Canaan.
In fact, you remember when the Jews approached the land of Canaan initially they were afraid to go into the land?
You remember them at Kadesh-Barnea and they were very hesitant?
They did not want to go in to the land.
They were fearful because of the frightening ferocity of the Amalekites.
In fact, it was there that they balked and disobeyed God because they were so intimidated by this fierce, evil, vicious tribe.
They were the same tribe who had, as is alluded to here, attacked Israel at Rephidim.
In fact, this was shortly after the Exodus, as it notes, and this was the famous battle recorded in Exodus 17 when Aaron and Hur had to hold up, you remember, the arms of Moses so that victory could come.

With great privilege comes great responsibility!
Let me see if I can’t answer that question for you.

II.
Incomplete obedience to God is complete disobedience.
1 sam 15 4-23
We have a tendency to justify our actions.
We have a tendency to glorify ourselves.
Partical obedience is full blown rebelion.
God abhors cosmetic Christianity.
1 sam 15 22
It is a frequent human error to think that God will overlook and forgive all one’s sins so long as one is careful to attend the shrine (or church) and offer sacrifices (or hymns of praise).
III.Rejecting the Word of Lord means being rejected by the Lord of the Word.
Don’t attempt to control what God has called you to destroy.
John Owen in his classic Christian work the Mortification of sin stated,
Be always at it whilst you live; cease not a day from this work; be killing sin or it will be killing you.
