God Gives Israel a King
About this episode
The episode explores the implications of Israel's desire for a king and how God responds to their request through the story of Saul.
We want a lot of things in life. Some of those are good for us; some aren’t. Some align with God's will for us, and some don't. Does God ever allow us to receive what we want, even though we will regret it one day? When we study the account of Israel’s first king, Saul, we see what happens when God grants Israel’s request to be like other nations and discover how God is faithful and sovereign, working behind the scenes even when his people make choices that don’t align with his will.
