Letting Love Compel or Living as a Rebel?

In this standalone sermon, Pastor Nate Gagne preached from 1 Samuel 15 in which Saul disobeys the Lord and loses his position in the process. Although some feel following someone rather than being the leader is restraining, working in rebellion against God serves only to limit one's choices further than following Him would. It's God's will to prosper us & give us a future, as described in Jeremiah 29:11, the question we must ask ourselves is this; could we possibly have a better motivation for our own lives or more resources to enact it on our own if we did?
