In 1 Samuel 8-10 we see the transition of God’s people from a people led by judges to a monarchy. And it isn’t a smooth transition. The people make what seems a reasonable request for a king, but in effect it’s a rejection of the one who has been faithful to them. After God warns them of the consequences, they press ahead. But God, in His grace, ta…

This week, we are looking at the resurrection appearances of Jesus to the women and the disciples in Matthew 28. We can identify with their responses which are filled with emotion: they are afraid yet filled with joy, worshipping Jesus yet some are doubting.
