    Israel demands a king, but this only demonstrates the rejection of their real king - the LORD.

    Kingship in Judges and 1 Samuel 1 Samuel 8 It’s amazing how quickly a classroom can turn when a teacher walks out for a moment. Paper, hats, pens, shoes, glass bottles get thrown at fans. Bags get thrown out of windows. Furniture is mysteriously re-arranged so that all students are now ...read more

    The Israelites decided that they needed an earthly king and when they got what they asked for it wasn’t so good. It still happens today.

    Sunday Morning July 29, 2001 Bel Aire Baptist Church, Hobbs, NM WHO IS KING? 1 SAMUEL 8 Introduction: 1. Who here likes to be in charge? You know, be in control of what happens! Almost all of us, if we are being honest, like to be in charge. 2. We face that problem in our church, in our work ...read more

    The King Of Rejection

    Contributed by Gordan Runyan on Aug 23, 2002

     | 7,197 views

    With a nod to John Knox, this is about tyranny; what it is, why it is, how we escape it (including the tyranny of sin).

    Webster’s dictionary defines “tyranny” as arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power. We don’t use the word “tyranny” a lot in our own day. We don’t routinely hear people in positions over us referred to as tyrants. (They may in fact be tyrants, but we don’t use the word.) But the word “tyranny” ...read more

    Addresses areas where Christians often unknowingly fall short.

    THE WRONG PRESCRIPTION FOR THE PROBLEM 1 Samuel 8 -Read 1 Samuel 8 As we read this chapter, it’s easy to say the leaders of Israel were all wrong asking for a king. Or, we can wrongly interpret God’s answer to Samuel as saying that simply asking for a king meant they were rejecting Him. But, ...read more

    Generic Christianity

    based on 44 ratings
     | 15,146 views

    The push is on for Christians to be less separated and more like everyone else. That’s a generic Christianity. God wants a separated people who let Him be their leader.

    GENERIC CHRISTIANITY 1 Samuel 8:4-21 Generic – If you have ever had to purchase any type of medication, you certainly have heard of that word before. Generic means that there is no brand name, only a common content description used by every manufacturer. One generic is the same as the next and ...read more

     | 4,922 views

    Like Samuel, we are often frustrated in our intentions. But turning to prayer, as he did, will help us remove the blame from ourselves, will help us understand the motives of others, and will help us accept reality and move on toward something better.

And then as a Judge of Israel, in week two, we examined the 6 step process that Samuel used to return people to God. But ...read more

    God is to be trusted to bless our nation, even when there are problems in the world.

    Scripture Introduction It might seem that nothing could be less relevant than a chapter from an ancient book, describing a transition in political power of a nation half the world away, which occurred over 3000 years ago!

    Federal Control - A Christian Reaction

    Contributed by Robert Sickler on Apr 10, 2015
     | 3,824 views

    People have willingly allowed the government to gain influence and control over almost every facet of their lives, just because of their need to believe in the existence of a higher power who offers them succor and security.

    Federal Control –a Christian’s Reaction. Illustration The young missionary arrived early in the morning at a native village where he was to share the word of God through an interpreter. The fellowship meeting would not take place until the next day so the missionary was given time to ...read more

    Be Careful What You Wish For

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 24, 2015
     | 6,950 views

    Sometimes we leave God out of our desires and plans. We must always go to God for guidance, especially when we face life’s challenges. Our desire to imitate the world may seem righteous at first, but it will result in destruction.

    How many of you have wanted something that someone else has? Well, you’re not alone. Envy and coveting have been around since the beginning of time. One of the Ten Commandments even says, “You shall not covet…” It’s too bad that the Israelites and the elders in the ...read more
