A Fearful King. A Fallen King. The Faithful KING! | 1 Samuel 27-31 | The King is Coming - week 12

🎙️ Sermon Series: “The King is Coming”

SERIES SUMMARY

We were made by God—to love Him, worship Him, obey Him, and rely completely on Him. But like the people in 1 Samuel, we often reject God's rule and clamor for something else—someone else—to lead us. In 1 Samuel, we see the rise and fall of kings, the longing for security, the failure of human leaders, and the ache for something more. Even Israel's best king couldn't deliver what only God could provide.

Through it all, God was preparing His people—not just for a better king, but for the true King. Jesus is the King of kings—perfect in obedience, humble in heart, righteous in judgment, and faithful in love. Every other king falls short of His glory. Our deepest need isn't just leadership or strength or success—it's King Jesus.

The King is coming. And His name is Jesus.

SERMON SUMMARY

Throughout 1 Samuel the sovereignty and grace of GOD is on full display. Israel had a KING - GOD but they wanted a different one. So, GOD gave them what they wanted, one fallen and flawed human king after another...until JESUS came. JESUS is the perfect KING, the only faithful KING. Turn to and follow KING JESUS, we need more JESUS!
