Three Kings :: When You Want What Everyone Else Has

Have you ever wanted something—just because someone else had it? A relationship, a career, a lifestyle, a certain kind of life? That craving for what others have is more than envy—it’s a spiritual warning sign. In this week’s message from 1 Samuel 8, we launch our new series, Three Kings, by exploring Israel’s demand for a king. Tired of being different, they wanted to be “like all the other nations”—and it came at a cost. In this powerful teaching, we reflect on how envy can blind us to God’s blessings, how comparison leads to compromise, and how God sometimes gives us what we want to show us what we truly need. Even when our hearts drift, His mercy remains. This message will challenge you to examine what you’re chasing—and remind you that when you want what the world has, you risk missing what God has. Don’t miss the start of this timely and transformative journey.
