“A king like all the other nations.”

God chooses a leader
1 Sam 9:15
1 Sam 9:16 … anoint Saul as LEADER.

… But the people want him to be King
1 Sam 10:24
The regulations of the kingship – Deut 17.

The dawn of a new ear … with a warning
He is still their prophet.
Samuel, under God, has been a great leader.
The faithfulness of God to his people.
They recognise their evil and actually repent before God. (12:19)

For us today
The New King
God works through their bad choice to achieve his purposes.
Saul’s character
Saul’s character is hard to work out
God’s strength is not linked to our weakness or inadequacies.
Sin is serious and God is gracious
God always gracious accept the person who repents.
Warning – Do not presume
