An Unexpected King: 1 Samuel 16:1-13

Pastor Cana’s sermon text (1 Samuel 16:1-13) presents us with God’s prophet Samuel, who, following King Saul’s disobedience, seeks out a new king among the sons of Jesse the Bethlehemite. As the youngest is brought forth, God proclaims that he is worthy to lead. God surprises and accommodates us in our misplaced expectations so we must be ready for and rejoice in God’s provision.
