Rejecting the King

June 30, 2019

Pastor Timothy Lee

As we continue through the narrative of Samuel, we will see Israel’s rebellion in demanding a king for themselves. By doing so, they are rejecting God as their king. In the same way, we too find ourselves rejecting God as King when we place our trust in earthly “kings” (powers, people, promises of the world, etc.). From our passage, we will see the futility of placing our trust in these earthly kings, and will be challenged to turn our hearts and eyes to Christ, our eternal King.
