Synopsis

1 SAMUEL 8 - This week we begin a new series looking at the life of King David. David is a very important character in the Bible, as he is mentioned both in the Old Testament and the New Testament. It is through Israel’s search for a king that we are introduced to David’s life. In 1 Samuel 8 Israel is demanding a king who will protect them, prosper them, and fulfill them. David in many ways was the ideal king, but he would tragically disappoint everybody. We are then left with the question “Is David the best king we could hope for?” David’s story will point us to the King of kings and Lord of lords. Today as we look at why Israel was searching for a king, it will help us better understand the life of David. There are 3 aspects of Israel’s request I want us to examine today.
