Give Us a King!

Conrad Hilario

1 Samuel 8-10

As the time of the Judges neared its end, the people of God began to demand to have a king over them like the other nations. This demand revealed the fallen heart's desire to rely on a system rather than upon God, the tendency to conform to the surrounding culture, and the temptation to make rash decisions due to impatience. God gave the Israelites their demanded king, and warned them of the dire consequences. Ultimately, through their unrighteous demand, He gave us the righteous King we need.

Saul

Dennis McCallum

1 Samuel 10-14

Although Saul, the new king of Israel, was a good general who led the Israelites into some successful battles against the Philistines, he neglected to wait on God and took matters into his own hands. Fame and success led him to make foolish decisions and lean on self-will and manipulation instead of trusting and waiting on God.

Leading Through Difficult Trials

Ben Foust

While Peter exhorts all Christians to entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right, in this passage, he specifically addresses leaders. He calls on leaders to shepherd the flock because they are fellow partakers of Christ's suffering and glory, to lead with the attitude, motivation, and authority of one who will share in His glory.

The God Who Uses Human Agency

James Rochford

Exodus 17:8-18:27

Even though God is all-powerful, He chooses to accomplish His work through human agency. He works through our weaknesses and through training others. Moses learned to delegate the less weighty problems to other worthy men. He did not over delegate and walk away from his responsibilities. He learned leadership requires humility to receive input from others to ask for help.

The God Who Is Leads His People

James Rochford

Exodus 12:35-14:31

When God led His people out of the land of Egypt, the people could not see everything God was doing. The people were only thinking of fleeing slavery but God was accomplishing multiple goals. He was guarding the Israelites but not removing all threats, judging the Egyptians, blocking re-enslavement, and bringing His people to faith.
