In this episode, we explore the moment Saul is confirmed as Israel’s first king — a turning point in the nation’s history. We trace how fear turned to faith, and how obedience led to joy. Through Saul’s story, we discover what it means for God to establish His kingdom not by human power, but through divine purpose.

 Key Themes:

 God confirms His calling through faithful action

 The difference between weeping in fear and rejoicing in faith

 The importance of planning with the Lord, not apart from Him

 Understanding 1 Samuel in its larger biblical and theological context

 Scripture Focus: 1 Samuel 11:1–15

 Takeaway:

When you include the Lord in your plans, your fears turn into faith and your weeping into joy.
