We continue a long string of episodes in the Old Testament, this time flipping over to the book of 1 Samuel for a lesson as old as the earth itself. 1 Samuel gives us a lot of great people and interesting stories, one of which is that of Israel asking God for a human king. After years of God's provision through chosen people and priests, His people ask the priest Samuel for God to grant them someone to rule over their nation. Well, God grants their request - but not without emotional pain and strong warning. He gives them King Saul, the first king of Israel. In this episode, we talk about how Israel's request for a king mirrors our own selfish desires, and we look at the consequences (both good and bad) of Israel's request.
