Saul, First King of Israel

Moses and Joshua, leaders of Israel, were dead. Samuel was aging, and his sons were wicked men who did not deserve to be judge. So the people asked for a king.

That part was fine…Moses had written that the people would have a king after they occupied the Promised Land. But it was for all the wrong reasons…”So we can be like all the other nations.” The King of Isreal was supposed to be quite different from the kings of other nations. He was to be an example of godly living, and an encouragement to the people to love and follow God.

God gave the people what they wanted and what they deserved in King Saul. He was taller than anyone else, and that was about the extent of his qualifications. His kingship did not last very long, because he chose not to follow God’s commands. He wanted to do things his own way.

Join us Sunday to find out what Saul was doing when Samuel anointed him king, and where Saul was when it was time for his coronation.

Bring a friend with you as we learn together!

Tom and Sydney Cook
