Unit 2 • Lesson 1 • Old Testament
Israel Demands a King
Theme: Kingship
Biblical Basis • 1 Samuel 8:4-18, 9:15-17
The Prophet Samuel had led God’s people for many years, speaking the word of the Lord. But the people wanted a warrior king to lead them in battle, like all the nations around them. God allowed it, but warned them what it would mean to live under a king.
Additional Text: Mark 10:42-45
Lesson Prayer
Loving God, you bring the mighty down from their thrones and lift up the humble. Forgive us, Lord, when we neglect to have a servant’s heart. Thank you for sending us your Son to serve us and to give his life as a ransom. In Jesus’ holy name we pray.
