All right. Good morning. It’s good to see you. Good to be with you if you’re joining us online. Thanks for joining us. Also today. We’re gonna continue with our Siris on first Samuel. And like Cindy said, we do have workbooks out in the lobby. Their $5 you can throw five bucks and the tide box. We have a ton of these. We would really like, you know, have them. They’re great to use for notes, uh, discussing in your community group if you don’t have five bucks. Still take one. No one will know anyways, but we want you to have one. They are a good resource. So, uh, today we’re actually gonna be on part three? Yep. We’re skipping part to Ben’s gonna pick that up next week because it goes great with what he is going to be speaking to us about. So we are on part three in your workbook, which is first Samuel, Chapter three in your Bibles. So if you turn there with us this’ll morning. So even before we get started, the titles called Searching for a Leader. And so what? I want to give us some backdrop here where we kind of have to different plotlines going. We have two different, um, veins here. That one is Samuel Samuel. Eli. The other one is the nation Israel. Right. So, Samuel, we see from last week his mom, Hannah, was unable to have kids, and so she lived in this world of sorrow and despair. She was she was, uh, really tormented by this even by the second wife that her husband took, who was able to have kids and really tormented her and rubbed that in her face. And then, to say the least, her husband was insensitive. That’s probably a pretty nice way to put it in the way that he responded there. But Hannah he was this faithful woman, and she and she went to God and she just pleaded to God for a child. And she said, Lord, if you give me a if you give me this son, I’ll give him back to you all the days of his life and what happens that happens. God gives her a son, and early on she gives him back to the Lord to serve in the temple all the days of his life under the high priest Eli Now, the other story line that we have going on is Israel. Israel at this time is really in a dark spiritual state, both physically and spiritually, right there, really living in darkness on. We’ll see that they just kept going through this cycle right there, just in the cyclical pattern where they would sin, they would be taken into captivity right under bondage. And then eventually they would repent and they would be restored, and then they’d sin, and then they would go into bondage. Then it’s a cycle over and over and over again. And what would happen is during that cycle, right, they would they would turn to other gods, idolatry, polytheistic beliefs they would bring in these other gods. And clearly the Lord God had forbidden that well, there would be repercussions to that, and they would be taken over by our oppressors. And then God would raise up these judges, these leaders. So if you look at the Book of Samuel 1st and 2nd Samuel right before that is the book of judges in the book of Judges really goes through these leaders that continue to get raised up in the whole cycle, where they would sin. They’d go into bondage and then raise up these leaders, these judges, and then they would repent over and over again, the whole book really being about that. And now we come to first Samuel, where Eli And now Samuel Samuel is the final judge. So he’s the transition here, the final judge between the Book of Kings right, which which, which is right after second Samuel. So this is the transition from judges to a monarch. They’re gonna have kings from here on out. And then you see the story of the Kings. But they’re in a dark place right now, and God raises up Samuel. So on a high level, we can step back. And we look at this cyclical nature and there’s a lot of thin…
