Spencer Tokushima 1 Samuel 8 The Grass is Greener? by Upcountry Calvary

In this guest sermon, Dr. Dan Jarrell challenges us to move from an "anemic" life of thin experiences to a "thick" life of substance, centered on God. Using his experiences in the Alaskan wilderness and the philosophical concept of "focal things and practices," he critiques our technological culture that values efficiency over engagement. We often commodify sacred things—like food, community, and even our relationship with God—turning them into products we consume rather than realities we participate in.Scripture References1 Samuel 8:1-22: The Israelites demand a king "like other nations" to fight their battles for them, rejecting God as their King. This illustrates the "device paradigm"—wanting a technology (a human king) to do the work of protection and provision, costing them their freedom and intimacy with God.Matthew 11:28-30: Jesus invites the weary to find rest, contrasting with the striving of a hurried life.John 10:10: Jesus came to give life "abundantly"—a life of substance, not anemic facsimiles.1 Corinthians 11:23-26: The Lord's Supper as a focal practice given by Jesus to the church.Key PointsFocal Things vs. DevicesFocal Things: Entities that provide a center for our lives (e.g., a family meal, the wilderness, God). They are sacred, cannot be commodified, and require our active engagement. They command our attention and participation.The Device Paradigm: Technology often turns focal things into commodities to be consumed without effort (e.g., a thermostat instead of a hearth). We value things for what they do for us, not what they are.The Cost of Efficiency We trade the "messy" engagement of real life for efficiency and control. In doing so, we get a "veneer" of life—an anemic facsimile.Music: We listen to high-quality recordings but lose the ability to play instruments.Warmth: We have heat (thermostat) but lose the gathering place of the hearth.Spirituality: We want pastors to study for us or worship bands to usher us into God's presence, rather than engaging in the discipline ourselves.Israel's Demand for a King (1 Samuel 8) The Israelites wanted a king to fight their battles—a "governing technology" to replace the active trust required to follow God. They gained a false sense of security but lost their freedom, their sons and daughters, and their intimacy with God.Recovering the Sacred To counter this, we need focal practices—disciplined, communal habits that orient us toward what matters (e.g., family dinner, Sabbath, prayer, playing music). These practices require us to slow down, participate, and embrace the "burden" of engagement.ConclusionGod sees us as focal things; He is consumed by His love for us. He invites us out of the hurry and striving of a technological world into the "thick" life of walking with Him. He left us a focal practice—Communion—not as a snack to fill us up, but as a discipline to make us hungry for Him, reminding us of His life, death, and promise to return.Calls to ActionChoose One Focal Thing: Identify one sacred thing in your life (e.g., family, Sabbath, scripture).Establish a Focal Practice: Choose one regular habit to honor that thing (e.g., daily family dinner with no phones, a weekly Sabbath hike).Prepare for the Media Fast: As a church, we are moving toward a digital fast in March. Start considering how you will detach from devices to re-engage with reality.Come to the Table: Engage in Communion not as a religious routine, but as a focal practice connecting you to Jesus and the global church.

Psalm 37-4Matthew 7:7-11Judges 21-251 Samuel 8:1-22Romans 1:2--22Romans 12:1-2

Seeing With God's Eyes 1 Samuel 8:1-21  Pastor Adria Willett-Leonardo

Like All The Other Nations 1 Samuel 8:1-21  Rev. Dave Benedict

When Samuel became old and it was obvious that his sons were not suitable to follow him, Israel asked that he get them a king so that they could be like all the other nations. God was displeased but told Samuel to do what they wanted. The system of judges, while subject to corruption just like every other human institution, structurally provided the greatest potential human liberty. A monarchy was a step away from that liberty and a distancing from God.

Today Chris and Kimberly discuss why Israel wanted a king. How often do we decide for ourselves what is best for us instead of looking to God and seeing the framework He has already provided? Instead of letting God change our hearts, we look for external fixes from the world. God wants to bless the Israelites, He wants to bless us, but when we turn from God's leadership towards human leadership, we miss out on that blessing. When we live into God's calling not only can we live into His blessing, but we get the amazing opportunity to bless others and encourage them to live into His blessing for them. Also, Chris enlightens us to another of his crazy ideas. Should Christians celebrate the Marriage Supper of the Lamb instead of Thanksgiving?

2024-12-19 - Demanding the Lord： 1 Samuel 8 [rhn7hK-xCsA] by Salvador Flores III

Send us a textIn this episode, we explore one of the most pivotal turning points in Israel's history — the moment they demanded a king. What looked like a political request was actually a spiritual crisis: impatience, fear, conformity, and a refusal to wait on God. We trace Israel's request, God's warning, and the consequences that followed, and we draw out six core lessons for believers today — especially the call to wait on the Lord rather than force His hand. Key Themes: Wanting the right thing at the wrong time The danger of looking at circumstances instead of Scripture What happens when God lets us have our own way The spiritual cost of impatience: "He gave them their request, but sent leanness to their souls" (Ps 106:15) The blessing and strength found in waiting on the Lord Questions for Reflection: Where am I tempted to demand rather than discern? What is one area of life where I need to slow down and wait on God's timing? Am I seeking to be like the world — or to be set apart for God?Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

In this message from The Ministry of God's Promise series, we turn to 1 Samuel 8, where Israel makes a fateful request: “Give us a king.” What seems like a practical solution is actually a spiritual rejection of God's leadership. Through Samuel's story, we discover how easily people trade divine guidance for human control—and how God, in His mercy, still works through our wrong choices to reveal our deeper need for Him. This lesson takes us on a sweeping journey through Israel's history—from the Judges to the Kings, the Prophets, and ultimately to Jesus Christ, the true and eternal King. We explore how every era in the Bible follows the same pattern: faith, decline, judgment, and renewal. The message is clear—human systems can't save us; only God can. Who is really on the throne of your life—self or Christ? Are we trusting God's perfect will, or settling for our own plans? Drawing from Jesus' words in Matthew 6:33, we're reminded that when we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, God promises to take care of everything else. This is more than a history lesson—it's a call to trust God over culture, fear, and self-reliance. Whether you're new to the Bible or have studied it for years, this teaching offers both practical and spiritual depth on what it means to live under the loving reign of Christ.

Humble obedience is the greatest solution to our greatest anxieties. For more information, please visit us at mercyhouse365.org

September 21, 2025 - Rev. Alexander S. Brown

Hello! Greetings and welcome to SendMe Radio — Peace, blessings, and love to you! If this is your first time here, welcome to the family! In 1 Samuel 8, the elders of Israel approach Samuel with a bold request: “Appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have.” Though Samuel was grieved, the Lord revealed that this was not a rejection of Samuel's leadership, but of God's kingship over His people. Samuel warned them of what a human king would demand—taxes, service, and authority over their lives. Yet the people insisted, desiring to be like other nations rather than embracing the unique identity God had given them. This chapter reveals the dangers of rejecting God's rule for human substitutes and reminds us to place our trust not in earthly leaders but in the eternal King, Jesus Christ. As you reflect on this passage, ask yourself: Are there areas where you've sought human solutions instead of God's perfect plan? Today is a call to realign your heart with the King of kings. Stay tuned to SendMe Radio for more Bible readings, Gospel music, and encouragement for your spirit.

Sermon 09-07-25 "Sacrificial Leadership: Sacrificing Holiness” - 1 Samuel 8 - Pastor Sean Dougherty. The Sunday morning sermon of First Baptist Church of Kearney, Nebraska.

Chapter 8 moves forward many years to the end of Samuel's life. With his inevitable death, Israel felt the impending danger of a leaderless nation surrounded by enemies. Their proposed answer to the uncertainty of the future, however, displays both a misunderstanding of true leadership and a rejection of the God who chose them to be His people.

Derrick looks at the people's demand for a king.
