Give Us a King!

Sermon Text: 1 Samuel 8:1-22

Theme: By demanding that Samuel appoint a king for them, Israel sinfully attempted to rid themselves of the Lord’s eternal kingship

Structure/points:  The Bible’s perspective on kings over God’s people is somewhat confusing because while some passages, such as 1 Samuel 8, are decidedly negative on the subject, others seem to anticipate that God would appoint a king over His people.  Thankfully, the Lord Himself gives us infallible commentary on this crucial turning point in Biblical history, helping us to understand our three points.

  1. Israel’s demand
  2. God’s kingship
  3. Samuel’s warning
