1 Samuel 8-14 - Saul The Flawed King

Dec 10, 2025

Israel’s demand for a king in 1 Samuel exposes a deeper issue: not the absence of leadership, but the rejection of God as their true ruler. Saul’s rise and failure reveal the limits of human kings, and prepare the way for Jesus - the only Anointed King who leads with perfect trust, love, and sacrifice. Where are you leaning on your own strength instead of trusting Jesus as King this week?


In Season 3 of Living Grounded we’re walking through the highlights of the Bible together, looking at how each part connects to Jesus and how we can apply it to living grounded in Him. New episode every Wednesday.


Every now and then we´re going to do a special episode to answer your questions!
