It may well have been Samuel's fault, but the Bible doesn't actually tell us that, nor should we necessarily jump to that conclusion.

Key Phrase “Like all the nations”
You see God had planed to give Israel a king.
But He never planned to give them a king like all the nations.
They didn’t need a corrupt king they needed a consecrated king.

That the request for a king is not in itself wrong, and it is something that God anticipates in the Pentateuch in the book of Deuteronomy.
The people of God don’t need to look to the world to fix what’s broken in the church.
We don’t need the latest business models and leadership strategies.
This is not in your notes but please remember!
John MacArthur - We are not going to operate the church according to the wisdom of the world.
We must not operate our church based upon the wisdom of the world but the wisdom of the word.
God has not called Rehobeth Baptist Church to look like the world.
God has called Rehobeth Baptist Church to look like the word.
God has not called us to be like everyone else.
God has called us to be like no one else.
There is always a consequence to our sin.
Sometimes God deals with our rebellion by giving us exactly what we have asked.
