• An overview of 1 Samuel chapters 9, 10, and 11.
• An introduction to the man Saul
• Early prophecies and types that indicate God intended for Israel to have kings–but in His time, not theirs
• Israel’s earlier flirtation with kingship under Gideon and Abimelech
• How “doing what is right in our own eyes” leads to great darkness
• How God redeems all kinds of sin and rebellion to bring glory to Himself
• Why God did not install Moses and Joshua as kings of Israel
• Why God does things for His great Name’s sake
• How the name of God has become virtually irrelevant in much of our culture
• How our culture has embraced personal  sovereignty as the highest moral good
• How Christians discussing contemporary moral issues is like responding to being poked in the eye
