In this message, Minister Mark Ashton explores the rise and fall of Israel’s first kings—Saul, David, and Solomon—and how each story points to our ultimate need for a perfect King: Jesus. From Samuel’s courage to speak truth, to Saul’s disobedience, to David’s heart for God, and Solomon’s pursuit of wisdom, this era—known as the United Kingdom—reveals both the beauty and the brokenness of human leadership.

Through these stories, Minister Mark reminds us that power can corrupt, partial obedience still misses the mark, and only Jesus, the King who never fails, brings lasting peace, forgiveness, and life.

Join us as we look at how:

• Samuel listened to God and spoke truth.
• Saul learned that obedience is better than sacrifice.
• David showed that God looks at the heart.
• Solomon demonstrated the need for true wisdom.

And discover how all of these kings point to Jesus—the King who will never fail, never forget, and never stop forgiving.
