1 Samuel 8:2-20
What drives the human desire to control our own destiny rather than trust in God?Pastor Wayne exposes a critical turning point in biblical history that mirrors the constant struggle within the human heart today.
When the elders of Israel demanded a king to rule over them “like all the nations,” they weren’t just fixing a political system—they were rejecting God as their sovereign. Using St. Augustine’s classic framework of the two cities, Pastor Wayne contrasts the City of Man (built on self-love, human pride, and control) with the City of God (built on love for the Lord, humility, and faith). Through this sermon, you will discover the natural, modern-day warnings of putting our security in human structures, and why true freedom and peace can only be found when we submit our lives entirely to the true King.
