1 Samuel 12-13
The Kingdom: Heed the Rebuke

Samuel, the prophet, rebuked the nation of Israel because they demanded a king. Then, their king rebelled and dishonored the Lord by assuming the role of a priest, which led to the Lord stripping the kingdom from him and giving it to another. What can we learn from King Saul's sin of pretending to be a priest? This passage relates to us in several ways.
