Rebellion is as Witchcraft

So Samuel said:
‘Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.’ (1 Samuel 15:22-23)

This short animation brings the moment to life when Samuel rebuked Saul, reminding us that obedience to God’s word is greater than empty ritual.
