Did Israel Jump on the Bandwagon of the Nations? | We Need A King | Message Only

In this sermon, we explore the powerful and timeless lessons from 1 Samuel 8, where the Israelites demand a king, revealing their susceptibility to the "bandwagon effect." Drawing parallels between ancient Israel and modern society, we delve into the dangers of following popular trends without seeking God's guidance.
