Give Us A King - Reading 1-2 Samuel and 1-2 Kings

Scripture

2 Samuel 2 Kings

Summary

"We want a king!" These words resonate loudly in Israel's history as the cry of an unfaithful people rejecting God as their leader. And so begins the period of Israel's monarchy - its rise, division, and ultimate downfall. Yet these words also reflect our real need, for we really do need a perfect king even today. Join us as we talk about how the books of Samuel and Kings lead us to that King - Jesus.

Jeff · Working with the Word

We've come to the decision to end the show and hang up the mics for now.

We also want to thank our regular listeners, guests we've had on the show, and those who have helped or support us along the way. Finally, there is one more question we need to answer for ourselves before we sign off! Music Credits "Faith" by Vibe Tracks "The Starry Night" by John Tadlock
