    #156 | 1 Samuel: The Celebrated King (who didn't get to party)

    In this episode, we explore the final stage of Saul’s journey to becoming King in 1 Samuel 12—his coronation. While this should have been a joyous celebration, the tone of the event was anything but festive. Samuel the prophet took the opportunity to remind the people of Israel about their persistent unfaithfulness to God, recounting how they had continually worshiped other gods. Yet, despite their rebellion, God remained merciful, delivering them each time they cried out for help. Samuel also emphasized that Israel's demand for a king was a rejection of God as their true King. Although God allowed them to have a human king, it was more an act of divine accommodation to their spiritual immaturity than a joyous embrace of his plan. We then contrast this with the coronation of Jesus as depicted in Hebrews 1:1-5. In a powerful and majestic ceremony, Jesus ascends to the right hand of the Father, who declares Him to be His Son and commands all the angels to worship Him. Unlike Saul, whose kingship was marked by human rebellion and divine concession, Jesus is fully worthy to reign as King. He has proven His mastery over the human condition throughout the entire course of his life, carrying humanity into full maturity. Join us as we reflect on these two coronation scenes and what they reveal about true kingship, faithfulness, and the path to spiritual maturity.

    #155 | 1 Samuel: The Victorious King (who finally stepped up)

    In this episode, we discuss the story of Saul’s battle against the Ammonites in 1 Samuel 11, an important but often overlooked chapter in Israel’s history. This event represents stage two in the process of becoming a king in ancient Israel: the testing or proving of the king in battle. Stage one is the anointing, which we covered in 1 Samuel 9–10, and stage three is the coronation, a celebration of the king after proving their trustworthiness in battle. Saul, who was fearful and hesitant when first proclaimed king, is depicted as a passive leader at the outset of this story. Rather than rallying Israel to fight its enemies, he is found working in the fields, far removed from his royal duty. Yet, despite his reluctant and timid leadership, Saul steps up when the people are threatened by the Ammonites. He leads Israel to a victorious battle, even crediting the victory to God. By the end of this story, Saul has successfully passed through stage two, proving himself worthy of the kingship, at least for the moment. But how does Saul’s experience compare to the ultimate King, Jesus Christ? We turn to Hebrews 2:10 to see how Jesus passed through His own stage two of proving Himself. Unlike Saul, whose test was a single battle, Jesus’ proving was an entire life of struggle, overcoming the temptations and challenges of living in human flesh. Hebrews tells us that Jesus was made perfect through suffering, demonstrating His worthiness to be the King who brings salvation. Through His continuous victory over sin and temptation, Jesus proves Himself as the perfect King who pioneers and perfects a new humanity within himself, opening the way for others to fllow in his steps, all the way to glory. Join us as we explore this powerful story and draw connections between Saul’s temporary victory and Jesus’ eternal triumph as the true King.

    #154 | 1 Samuel: The Anointed King (that nobody knew about)

    In this episode, we discuss the intriguing story of Saul’s selection as the first king of Israel, found in 1 Samuel 9-10. The Israelites, longing to be like the nations around them, demanded a king. But they didn’t just want any king—they wanted one who looked the part, someone who would fit the mold of the powerful rulers of their time, many of whom descended from the Nephilim, the giants of old. God's choice of Saul, a man tall and striking in appearance, played into this desire, demonstrating how the people's wishes influenced God's decision. We explore the three crucial stages of someone becoming king in ancient Israel: the anointing, where the chosen one is set apart by God for leadership; the proving, where the anointed king must face and overcome challenges to demonstrate their worthiness; and the coronation, where the king is publicly crowned and affirmed by the people. In this episode, we look at the first stage of anointing, which highlights the transformative work of the Holy Spirit, who equips individuals for the roles they are called to. The Spirit made Saul into a new person, coming upon him and leading him to prophesy at the very place where Israel's most formidable enemy has set up a military post in their land. We discuss how this points to an important truth: that the anointing of the Spirit empowers us to enter into battle and overcome the enemies that are holding us down and holding us back, whether those be internal or external enemies. Finally, we draw a parallel to Jesus Christ the King. Just as Saul received the Spirit of God at his anointing to be Israel’s king, Jesus is anointed at His baptism by the Holy Spirit, and declared to be God’s Son. This declaration of Jesus' Sonship is not just about family, it's also about royalty. We discuss the royal implications of being called God’s sons and daughters, emphasizing that, like Christ, we are anointed to carry out God’s rule and reign on earth.

    #153 | 1 Samuel: The Premature King (that nobody should want)

    In this episode, we keep exploring the biblical story of Israel's request for a king, as told in 1 Samuel 8. The Israelites, looking to be like the nations around them, prematurely request a king to lead them—a request that reveals their immature desire for power to be centralized in one leader. God, in response, outlines the kind of king they will receive: a ruler who will mirror the self-centered leadership of the other nations, taking from the people rather than giving to them. We explore the key word in the text, "take," which characterizes the king's actions, highlighting the stark contrast between this type of earthly kingship and God's original vision for servant kingship in Israel. We discuss four characteristics of kingship in the surrounding nations—military leadership, priest-like access to God, the power to cancel debts, and law-making authority—and how each of these were not part of God's vision for kingship in Israel. Finally, we turn to the teachings of Jesus in Mark 10, where He redefines leadership as self-sacrificial service, offering His own life for the people. This model of kingship, embodied by Jesus, perfectly aligns with God's original intent for kingship in Israel: a leader who serves the people rather than one who is served by them. Join us as we explore how Jesus fulfills God's vision for kingship, offering a countercultural vision of leadership that challenges the self-centered norms of the world.

    #152 | 1 Samuel: Israel Asks for A King - Prematurely

    In this episode, we discuss one of the most pivotal moments in Israel's history: their request for a king as recorded in 1 Samuel 8:1-9. This moment marks a significant turning point, not just in Israel’s political structure, but in their spiritual journey as a nation, as well. Many have misunderstood this episode as God rejecting the very idea of kingship in Israel. However, as we’ll explore, kingship had always been part of God’s plan, embedded in His covenant promises to Abraham, Jacob, and Judah. The problem wasn’t the request for a king itself, but the timing and motivation behind it. Much like Adam and Eve’s decision to prematurely eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Israel’s demand for a king was driven by a desire to be like the nations around them, revealing a deeper issue of idolatry. Samuel sums up their request as a rejection of God’s kingship—a longing for a substitute that could replace God’s presence and rule in their lives. We then draw a connection to the New Testament, where Jesus faced a similar temptation in John 6. The crowds wanted to make Him king by force, but Jesus, in His wisdom, resisted a premature ascent to kingship. Instead, He submitted to the Father’s appointed time and way for installing him as king, going through the necessary developmental process that would lead Him to the cross and ultimately to His resurrection as the true King of Israel. In our next episode, we’ll explore God’s ideal vision for kingship in Israel—one that stood in stark contrast to the nations around them—and discuss the implications for our understanding of the kingship of Jesus in the New Testament.

    #151 | 1 Samuel: Israel "puts" God in a box

    In this episode, we look at a pivotal moments in the history of Israel: the capture of the Ark of the Covenant by the Philistines and its eventual return to Israel as narrated in 1 Samuel 4:1-7:17. This story sets the stage for Israel's request for a king in 1 Samuel 8, marking a significant turning point in the biblical story of Israel. We explore the reasons behind Israel's devastating defeat at the hands of the Philistines. As Samuel later points out in 1 Samuel 7:3-4, Israel's downfall was due to their worship of other gods, a direct violation of their covenant with the Lord. Instead of seeking God and his presence, they treated the Ark of the Covenant like a lucky charm, believing that the object itself would ensure their victory. But this story is not just about defeat and misplaced trust. It's also about repentance, redemption, and divine intervention. When Israel repents under Samuel's prophetic ministry, God brings them back into a right relationship with Him. He delivers an extraordinary victory by confusing the Philistine army, making them easy targets for Israel's counterattack. Moreover, God restores the cities that the Philistines had taken, fulfilling His promise to drive out their enemies and restore their land to them if they turned back to Him. We also examine the scope of Samuel's itinerant, translocal prophetic ministry across different cities, highlighting the growing need for leadership and order in Israel. This context is crucial as it leads us to the next major development: Israel's request for a king, which we will discuss in our next episode. This request represents a monumental shift in Israel's history and has profound implications for understanding Jesus' role as king in the biblical narrative.

    #150 | 1 Samuel: The Prophet Samuel - Hearing God Part 3

    In this episode, we delve into the practical ways God speaks to us in our everyday lives. We explore three common ways God can communicate with us: Voice, Vision, and Vibe. Voice doesn’t have to mean an audible sound. Often, it's more like spontaneous thoughts that come to our minds, as Mark Virkler describes in his book 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice. Think of it like a song stuck in your head – you don’t literally hear it, but you do somehow “hear” it. Vision can be something we see internally in our minds or externally outside of us. These visions can be static or dynamic, and can be in color or black and white. Vibe refers to sensations we experience in our body, mind, or heart. It can be a feeling or an intuition that nudges us towards a certain direction or decision, or that makes us aware of something. While we focus on these three ways, God communicates with us in other ways too. The key is to start recognizing when God is speaking and take note of it. We also discuss how Jesus experienced God’s communication through Voice, Vision, and Vibe, providing examples from the Gospels. Plus, we share personal stories of how recognizing God's communication has changed our relationships and enriched our lives. Join us as we learn to recognize and embrace the ways God communicates with us.

    #149 | 1 Samuel: The Prophet Samuel - Hearing God Part 2

    In this episode, we discuss the pivotal experience of Samuel as he learns to recognize God's voice in 1 Samuel 3:10-21. This moment becomes foundational for Samuel's development as a prophet. We explore the significance of Samuel's first message from God, which was a hard truth to deliver to his father figure, Eli. This initial test of obedience would characterize Samuel's prophetic ministry, where he often spoke difficult truths to those in leadership. Samuel's journey of learning how to to hear God's voice was not easy. The burden of delivering a challenging message to Eli likely weighed heavily on him. Yet, Samuel spoke the words that the Lord gave him with respect and within the context of his enduring relationship with Eli. This episode highlights the importance of delivering God's messages with both truth and love, maintaining respect for those God calls us to speak to. We also discuss how Samuel's prophetic ministry evolved. Initially known for hearing words from the Lord, Samuel later became recognized as both a prophet and a seer, receiving revelation through visions. This growth in his capacity to hear God and speak on His behalf is an encouragement for all of us. Like Samuel, we too must learn and grow in our ability to hear God's voice and sometimes share difficult truths with others. Moreover, we draw parallels between Samuel and Jesus. Just as Samuel delivered hard messages, Jesus also spoke difficult truths to people in leadership. Yet, like Samuel, Jesus only spoke what the Father told Him to say—no more, no less. To wrap up, Tiffany shares a practical story of her own experience with God speaking to her. She recounts a time when God asked her to do something difficult, and she struggled to discern whether it was truly God's voice and why He would ask her to do such a thing. This personal example brings home the episode's message, encouraging listeners to trust in their journey of learning to hear and obey God's voice. Tune in for an inspiring and relatable episode on the journey of recognizing and responding to God's voice in our lives.
