The High Cost of Getting Your Own Way: David Episode 3 - Pastor Allen Nolan
Published 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
In this message, Pastor Allen Nolan explores Israel’s demand for a king and shows how their reasons—Samuel’s age, his corrupt sons, the desire to be like other nations, and the need for defense—were mostly excuses masking a deeper lack of trust in God. Pastor Allen walks through God’s warning in 1 Samuel 8 about conscription, property seizure, and taxation, revealing the high price of “being like all the other nations,” and how this applies to our lives, warning that when we insist on our own way, God may sometimes grant our demands as a form of discipline.
