Teaching The people ask Samuel for a king

God is the very best King of all - following Him is far better than just trying to be like everyone else.

  • The people wanted a king so they could "be like everyone else." When is it tempting to just want to be like everyone else?
  • They already had God as their King, the best of all! Why is God a better King than anyone?
  • What does it mean to be content - happy and thankful - with what God has given us?
