We Need a King, After God’s Heart
An Expositional Study of the Life of David from 1 & 2 Samuel

by David Hentschel & Bob Erbig

Step into the pages of Scripture and discover the rise of a kingdom, the fall of leaders, and the search for a King who truly reflects the heart of God.

In We Need a King after God’s Heart, you’ll be taken on an expositional journey through the books of 1 and 2 Samuel—where a loose confederacy of tribes becomes a united nation under God’s covenant, and the life of David unfolds with all its triumphs and tragedies.

From the anointing of a humble shepherd boy, to the dramatic defeat of a taunting giant, to the rise and fall of kings, this study brings out the raw, real, and redemptive narrative of Israel’s journey toward monarchy—and ultimately, toward Christ.

Explore powerful biblical themes through the lives of:

  • Samuel, the prophet who bridges the time of judges to kings.
  • Saul, the embodiment of unbelief and idolatry.
  • David, a flawed but faithful man after God’s own heart.

Through their victories and failures, you’ll be challenged to see your own need for the greater King—Jesus, and the call to respond with obedience to His covenant.

Don’t miss this powerful and transformative study.

We Need a King, After God’s Heart

by David Hentschel & Bob Erbig

Now available on Kindle and in paperback, All proceeds from the purchase of this book go to MBC.

The books of 1 and 2 Samuel are a historic account of how a loose confederacy of tribes comes together under the banner of a united nation and monarchy through the covenant of God. A shepherd boy is anointed king. A barren woman is given a son with prophetic significance. A taunting giant falls the ground in defeat. This is a story of hard-fought battles and gut-wrenching political betrayals. The Bible pulls no punches as it displays leaders who accomplish great feats for the armies of God, but who also usurp power, fall into adultery and even commit suicide. This sermon series draws on a number of major themes from the lives of Samuel, Saul and David, using them as examples for us, both positive and negative. Samuel guides Israel out of the time of the judges, Saul personifies the idolatry and unbelief of Israel and David is portrayed as a great hero of the faith and a worthy model to follow. Each of these leaders paint a nuanced picture of heroes and villains, pointing us toward our own need for the greater King, Jesus, and the importance of our obedience in response to his covenant.
