Today, we will begin by singing "Heavenly Sunlight." We are nearing the end of Saul's life, and today we turn our attention to a somewhat dark but interesting passage in 1 Samuel 28:3-19. Saul visits a medium in order to consult the dead prophet Samuel, something forbidden by God. Join me for today's lesson "Saul Consults a Medium." We will answer the following questions:

-What circumstances provoked King Saul to consult the medium at En-dor? (v. 3-7)

-Read Leviticus 19:31, 20:6, 20:27. What is a medium and what does God clearly say about consulting mediums?

-Why do you think Saul disguised himself when he went to the medium? (v. 8)

-What was Samuel's appearance? Do you think the medium was really able to conjure up Samuel?
(v. 10-19)
