Trainwreck: Saul Pt. 1 | Tear Off the False Self

September 21, 2025 • Wonder Church

Saul looked like the perfect king—tall, handsome, and chosen by God.
But behind the image was a man hiding in the baggage, ruled by insecurity,
and torn between pleasing people and obeying God.

In this message, Pastor CJ Witkoe from Wonder Church explores 1 Samuel 9–15
to reveal how Saul’s false self led to his downfall—and how we can throw off
our own false selves to live in the freedom and love of Jesus.

📖 Key Scriptures: 1 Samuel 9–15
⚡ Learn how insecurity creates a “false self.”
⚡ Discover why obedience is better than sacrifice.
⚡ Find freedom in knowing your true identity in Christ.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to perform, to impress, or to hide who you really are,
this message will help you step into the life God actually calls you to.
