Give Us a King!
In our world, we commonly outsource much of our life to professionals. We also have a tendency to do that with our faith as well. The story of Israel demanding a king in 1 Samuel demonstrates for us that God desires an unmediated relationship with us. It's scary, but we were created for that freedom!
From Series: "Ordinary Phenomenon"
How many times have you heard about one of those spectacular events in the Old Testament and thought, "It must be nice!" If only I had seen the Red Sea part, or Elijah's showdown on Mt. Carmel. Then it'd be so easy to trust God! But apparently that's not true. We see again and again that the big events aren't what transform us into God's people. Rather, we find God in the ordinary phenomena we see every day. Join us in January as we explore these Big Events to find what God was calling his people to then - and now: an ordinary, every day relationship that's nothing short of phenomenal.

Amos pictures God as a lion, roaring God’s judgment from Mt. Zion. We don’t like to think of God as a judge. But the biblical picture of God as judge is founded in God’s love as our Father in Heaven. We can hear God’s judgment as words as a firm love calling us to be whole.
