The Upside Down Kingdom (1st Samuel)
This year, we turn to 1 Samuel for a new series called "The Upside Down Kingdom". It's not hard to see our need for it — from the chaos in our classrooms and homes, to the clashes in our culture, to the corruption we watch play out in human government, everywhere we look is evidence of the same problem Judges named: "everyone did what was right in their own eyes." Ancient Israel reached for the same fix we still reach for today: a king, someone strong enough to set things right. But when God gives Israel her king in 1st Samuel, he confounds every expectation. Where we look for power, glory, and strength, God looks at the heart. Where we exalt the proud, God lays them low and lifts up the humble. The kingdom God establishes isn't built by our strength but by His — and it points ahead to the King who would ultimately fulfill it, Jesus Himself.
What is a King?
We turn to 1st Samuel 10:17–11:15, where Israel moves from fear and uncertainty to rejoicing and worship as God raises up Saul to deliver His people from the Ammonites. We see that a faithful king must be a man of God’s Word and empowered by God’s Spirit—and that true renewal comes not through human strength or clever solutions, but through the saving work of God. Ultimately, Saul’s victory points us to Jesus, the greater King who crushes the serpent, delivers His people, and brings us into joyful fellowship with God. Join us this Sunday as we learn to abandon our frantic efforts at self-salvation, return to God’s Word, depend on His Spirit, and respond to His saving grace with worship and gratitude.
