Israel insists on having a king - a demand that was a rejection of God and that would not lead to their own good. Teaching from 1 Samuel 8-10, Pastor Glenn Packiam shows how God sometimes gives in to our demands to let us see where that road leads. And yet, even then, God does not give up on us. God is able to redeem even our worst mistakes and get the story back on track.

And He will return to restore everything the enemy has taken.
