Lion of Judah: How the Lion came Despite our Failures
Prone to Wander...Author: Greg Heasley
Why do our demands for greater freedom often lead to deeper bondage? What happens when we ask God for what we want instead of trusting Him for what we need? In his sermon, “So, You Want A King?” based on 1 Samuel 8:1-22, Pastor Bryan Catherman explores Israel's demand for a king and the deeper spiritual rebellion it represents. As the people reject God's rule in favor of a monarchy like the surrounding nations, we are confronted with a timeless truth: when we choose self-rule over God's sovereign reign, we inherit the consequences of our own folly. Yet, even in judgment, God's mercy shines through as He ultimately provides not just any king, but the one King we truly need—Jesus Christ. The message challenges us to consider where we, too, may be exchanging divine kingship for worldly security, and reminds us that only under God's rule do we find true freedom and life.

What kind of leader? (Another) leadership crisis in Israel (8:1-3) The people's response? A king like all the other nations have (8:4-5) BUT! They already have the one true King! (8:6-9) The kings of this world take and take and take (8:10-22) The kings of this world look good (on the outside) (ch 9-10) Only the true King is mighty to save his people (ch 11) Only the true King gives and gives and gives (ch 12) …do not turn away from the Lord
Give us a King This episode delves into 1 Samuel 8, a pivotal chapter that marks Israel's transition from theocracy to monarchy—a moment when the people reject God as their king in favor of a human ruler. The message explores the spiritual consequences of this choice, revealing how fear, distrust, and a desire to conform led Israel to trade God's proven leadership for worldly imitation. Through close examination of the text, listeners are challenged to reflect on their own hearts: Do we seek God's Word for comfort yet resist His authority in our decisions? The study ultimately emphasizes God's grace even in rejection, His intimate care for those who feel cast aside, and the urgent call for believers to surrender the throne of their hearts to the only true King.

In today's reading, Israel asks an aging Samuel to appoint a king over them before his death. Samuel warns them about what a king would demand from them, but the people urge him all the more. Ultimately, the concern is not so much that they want a king, but that they are looking to have a human king as a source of strength, protection, and provision. All throughout their history, God has been their strength, their protection, and their provider, but they fail to trust in Him. As Samuel installs Saul as king in today's reading, take note that it is the Lord who performs remarkably through Samuel, and it is not Samuel himself who is particularly noteworthy.1 Samuel 8 - 1:01 . 1 Samuel 9 - 4:54 . 1 Samuel 10 - 12:04 .Psalm 83 - 17:35 . :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

In this powerful examination of 1 Samuel 8, we're confronted with the timeless struggle between trusting in God and seeking worldly solutions. The Israelites' demand for a king 'like all the nations' serves as a stark reminder of how easily we can forget God's faithfulness and provision. This passage challenges us to examine where we place our confidence - in earthly powers or in the unchanging truth of God. Are we, like the Israelites, tempted to conform to the world around us rather than standing firm in our unique calling as God's people? The sermon draws fascinating parallels between ancient Israel's desire for a king and our modern tendency to rely on human institutions or leaders rather than God. It urges us to resist spiritual decay and impatience, reminding us that God's timeline, though sometimes frustrating, is always perfect. As we reflect on this message, let's consider: Where are we rushing ahead of God's plan in our own lives? How can we cultivate the patience and trust to wait on the Lord?

As Samuel grows old, the elders of Israel rightly recognize the corruption of Samuel's sons, who are unfit to be judges in Samuel's place. However, the elders of Israel wrongly ask that Samuel set up a king over them so that they would be like the other nations. The LORD says that this request is a rejection of His reign, but He still tells Samuel to give Israel what they want. Even as Samuel warns them that a king like all the other nations will not be all that they think, the people persist in their sinful desire. Graciously, the LORD uses this request to ultimately bring us the King that we need, our Savior Jesus. Rev. Kurt Ulmer, pastor at Faith Lutheran Church in Wylie, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 1 Samuel 8:1-22. "A Kingdom Unlike All the Nations” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Samuel. This time in Israel's history has its highs and lows, but the LORD's faithfulness never wavers. He provides His Word to be proclaimed faithfully through prophets like Samuel and Nathan. Even as princes like Saul and David sit on an earthly throne, the LORD remains King over His people, even as He does now and forever through the Lord Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org
