2/27/2022 Worship Service and Sermon: Israel Asks for a King - 1 Samuel 8

2/27/2022 Worship Service and Sermon from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA. Worship Leader: Mike Culbert Speaker: Joe Whalen Title: Israel Asks for a King Scripture: 1 Samuel 8 Notes: vv. 1-3: As the faithful judge Samuel becomes old, the Israelites don’t want his corrupt sons to succeed him. vv. 4-6a: The Israelites demand a king, like their neighbors had. vv. 6b-9: …and God tells him to give them a king, but with a warning. vv. 10-18: Samuel warns Israel what a king will do to them. vv. 19-20: Israel rejects the warning outright. Two truths: 1. We never just reject God; we replace Him 2. Our biggest problem is the unbelieving heart inside ourselves, not outward circumstances Good news: God gave us a King who paid for our sins and who adopts us into His family To connect with Brick Lane, visit our website at: https://www.brick52.org/ For more biblical teaching, you can also listen to audio sermons at: https://www.brick52.org/audio-sermons #bricklanecommunitychurch #elverson #pennsylvania #worship #sermon #idolatry #faith #1Samuel
