In this week’s sermon, Pastor Scott reflects on Israel’s demand for a king in 1 Samuel and our own deep desire for order, control, and certainty. Through Scripture and everyday examples, we’re reminded that God calls us not to rigid systems but to faithful, sometimes messy relationship—trusting Him one step at a time. Join us as we explore what it means to resist false kings, embrace Christ as our true King, and live a life shaped by trust, community, and hope.
