You Need a King - God is NOT on Your Side, Part 1

Israel has just lost the battle, and the elders respond with a plan: bring the ark of the covenant to the front lines—surely God is on their side. It seems like a reasonable assumption, but it is about to be turned completely upside down. This passage exposes the difference between carrying the ark and actually knowing the God it represents, and it has something deeply uncomfortable to say about how we think about God, faith, and whose side He is actually on.
