A People for Himself

by Alistair Begg

1 Samuel 12:1–25
 (ID: 3377)

Stepping down from his leadership role, Samuel warned Israel that in demanding a king, they’d actually rejected God. Yet while they’d sinned greatly, Samuel assured the people that the Lord would not forsake them. Examining Samuel’s testimony of his legacy, Israel’s history, and God’s reliability, Alistair Begg reminds us that instead of reaching for empty things that cannot deliver, we should fear the Lord, serve Him, and be thankful. Whatever evil we’ve done, God’s grace is greater, and He will complete what He’s begun.
