This Sunday we heard about how God actually used donkeys to accomplish his purpose.

It was just another frustrating day for Saul when he went to look for his father’s donkeys that had managed to wander off. In fact, God was using this as an opportunity for the future king to seek Him.

After days of searching, Saul eventually starts looking for Samuel to get a little divine guidance in his mission to find the donkeys. You can just imagine the shock of a lifetime when Samuel tells Saul that he is the future king of Israel. It would have been like winning the lottery, except it came with the responsibility to lead a nation-- which absolutely terrified him…more on that later.

This Sunday you’ll see how God works in the mundane and ordinary…even using donkeys to accomplish his purpose.

After the great revival at Mizpah, the Israelites began asking, and even demanding God for things that showed they missed the biggest blessing of all-- God himself!

Interestingly, God still answered their "off-base" request. And even after he warned them that it would not be best for them, he allowed them to experience what they asked for, and the people got way more than they bargained for.

You’ll see how we can ask things of God, just as Jesus encouraged us to, and do it in a way that keeps God the focus.

In this Sunday’s episode from 1 Samuel, the people of God are gathered to seek God’s face. Samuel confronts them and holds them accountable in a moment of spiritual renewal, but it’s what comes next in the everyday life that makes the difference. Listen to learn how to live for God with a constant and faithful pursuit that goes beyond an emotional high.

This Sunday’s passage from 1 Samuel is about the danger of losing our awe of God.

The people of God were so familiar with God that they didn’t treat him with the holiness he deserved. The results are jolting and severe, and there is an enormous lesson that we can’t miss here.

In 1 Samuel this Sunday, we heard what happened when superstition crept into the people’s relationship with God. And let me tell you, it wasn’t pretty.

What it can become is a subtle approach to manipulate God with our behaviors or practices. In fact, at one point in the book of Isaiah, God even told his people to stop their worship because it was not backed up by a heart that truly honored Him.

This Sunday, we heard about how this looks in our own lives and how we can keep a heart for God fueled by the things that please Him.
