Israel Rejects God as King
Passage: 1 Samuel 8–12
Principle: God is King, and we must submit to Him.
Praise: “He Reigns”
Prompt: Ask your child these questions:
• Why was Israel’s request for a king sinful?
• What were God’s conditions for blessing Israel and their new king?
Practice: Help your child apply these truths in the following ways:
• By trusting God, not human strength or wisdom, in trying times.
• By obeying God, who is King
This Week: As a family, read selected portions of 1 Samuel 8–12.
