About this episode

Pastor Jeff Schreve explores the reasons behind Israel's demand for a king and the implications of rejecting God's authority.

Why do people so often reject God’s authority and insist on their own way? Pastor Jeff Schreve explores Israel’s demand for a king in 1 Samuel 8 and uncovers the fear, impatience, and stubbornness that still pull hearts away from God today. Learn why waiting on the Lord matters, how fear traps believers, and why true satisfaction is only found when Jesus reigns as King.
