Thank God for his ‘no’s’ | 1 Samuel 8

Sermon Summary: 

No one likes being told “no.” We want to get the things we ask for, and it’s not fun to be told no. But as a parent tells their child no to things that will cause harm, God does that to his children. Join Pastor Josh as he discusses 1 Samuel 8 and how, when God tells us no, it’s often for our own benefit. 

  1. The sons of Samuel, who were judges, were corrupt, and led the Israelites to demand a king.

  2. The Israelites wanted to be like other nations around them who had kings.

  3. Samuel gives clear warnings about the problems of having a kid, but they still demand one.

  4. God sometimes answers with a “no” to protect me.

  5. The Father telling Jesus “no” helped bring us salvation.
