Why does the New Testament use war as a metaphor for Christian life and mission?
The background must be the Old Testament - like what we find in 1 Samuel 11.
Podcast Summary:
Life’s full of power struggles—whether it’s at work, in families, or even in church. But the biggest power clash of all? God’s Kingdom vs. human authority. In this episode, we dive into 1 Samuel 12, where Israel demands a king, rejecting God as their true ruler. Samuel lays it all out—he’s led with integrity, but the people still want a human leader. Big mistake!
We unpack how this tension plays out today—are we trusting worldly power, or do we stand firm under King Jesus? Plus, there’s a cracking moment when God drops a storm to prove His point. Tune in for a deep dive into God’s faithfulness, human foolishness, and what it means to live for His Kingdom in a world obsessed with control.
