1 Samuel 8:1-22; 9:1-4, 15-17; 10:1a, 17-27

The people of Israel wanted to be like all the other nations, and so they asked Samuel for a king. In doing so, they reject their one true king, God. Even though we may reject God with our words and our actions, God does not abandon us, but instead sends Jesus as the King of kings and Lord of lords, to be rejected and killed by the people He came to save.
