Interact Handout 48 - 1 Samuel 8
Recap: God begins to bring His people back into a healthy relationship with him. He miraculously intervenes through the miracle of the oxen. The joy of welcoming back the ark is mixed with sorrow as the Lord acts in judgement against those taking Him lightly.
1 Samuel 8: Royalist Rebels
Sunday, 7 Mar 2010
50:31 minutes (28.91 MB)
Samuel is old and he has made his sons judges in Israel. They are not much better than those of Eli, only that, their vice is money and so pervert their office. The Elders, inspired by the people, make a correct observation but draw a wrong conclusion by asking for a king. Tired of having God as their leader they prefer someone they can see, someone they can idolize. They desire to be like the nations around them. God's people feel the same pressures today. We want a charismatic leader we can follow. We want the church to take its lead from the world around us.
