The Lord Will Not Forsake His People

A sermon on 1 Samuel 12

Aren’t you glad God doesn’t give up on his people despite the dumb decisions we make? Israel asked Samuel to give them a king. It wasn’t just a dumb decision; it was a sinful decision. Israel rejected the Lord as their king, yet the Lord continued to show them mercy and grace. And he does the same for his people today.

This sermon was preached on July 28, 2024, at Grace Bible Church in Escondido, California.
