Israel's demand for a king represents a sea change for the people of God. It's a microcosm of everything broken about humanity, and everything good and beautiful about the King they already had: God Himself. But what is the problem with having a king? What are their motivations in demanding one? How does this affect us today? And how is ancient Israel like a hippopotamus?
All these questions are examined here, in a series of subjects that Chris is incredibly passionate about: power, justice, and the Kingship of Christ.
