This Sunday, we talked about the defining characteristics of a spiritual leader.

The young boy Samuel, in his mini priest's outfit, was growing up and learning to hear from God. As he grew, God was preparing him for something great. This Sunday, in contrast to Eli and his sons, we saw the marks to true healthy, spiritual leadership.

This week, the story takes a surprising turn as Samuel grows up at God's house and witnesses the sons of the priest who are absolutely awful. They were taking advantage of people, and the Bible calls them "worthless men," which you can guess was not a compliment!

Samuel begins his time serving the Lord in the middle of this corrupt behavior, and yet, we see God working quietly, even imperceptibly, to advance his kingdom through Samuel, despite the evil taking place.

This Sunday, we learned a bit about spiritual leadership and how God can even work through failures and willful disobedience to accomplish his purpose.

This week, we studied Chapter 2, and we looked at Hannah's prayer in response to what God had done for her.

In Hannah's prayer, we unpacked several key themes that will guide our study of 1 Samuel. We learned about God's character and how he takes care of his people.

This Sunday's passage is also an example of poetic justice and shows how God, in his wisdom, exalts the weak and lowly and uses people of surprising backgrounds to change the course of history.
