"Israel Asks for a King"

Israel had a King — but they wanted one they could see. In this pivotal moment, the people reject God’s leadership and ask Samuel for a human king, “like all the other nations.” This week, we explore 1 Samuel 8 and the tension between God's best and our desires. What happens when we trade God’s authority for what looks appealing? And how does God respond when His people choose something less than His perfect will? Join us as we continue The Life of Samuel and wrestle with the same question Israel faced: Will we trust God to lead, or look for someone else to take His place?
