June 6, 2021-1 Samuel 8:4-18 (Pentecost 2-Year B)

This week's episode kicks off a seven week series on the leadership of Samuel, Saul and David from the books of 1 and 2 Samuel. The elders of Israel come to Samuel, the last judge, imploring him to anoint a king over the nation rather than continues with God's leadership through a judge. Witness how this request, with due warning, leads to a season of politics and intrigue. Here we find a warning to every would-be leader: chose to either be an imitator of God or an imposter.
