Give Us a King! Israel Rejects God as King | 1 Samuel 8-10

Israel had a real problem, but they asked for the wrong solution.In this episode of the Words of Life Podcast, Adam and Kevin continue through 1 Samuel 8-10. Samuel is getting older, his sons are corrupt, and the elders of Israel ask for a king like all the other nations.At first, their request seems reasonable. They want better leadership. They want justice. They want someone to fight their battles.But God reveals the deeper issue.They are not just rejecting Samuel. They are rejecting God as their King.We also look at Samuel’s warning about what kings will take, Saul’s introduction, and the beginning of Israel’s transition from the period of the judges into the age of kings.This section reminds us that we can have real concerns and still ask for the wrong thing.#BibleStudy #1Samuel #Saul #OldTestament #WordsOfLifePodcast
