Hollyview Church

In this tragic chapter, we see the ark of the Lord being captured and the glory of God is no more in Israel. We spend some time thinking about what glory means as well as hear two warning to us in dealing with the glory of God.

The boy Samuel hears the calling from the Lord in a time when the Word of the Lord was rare. He hears God's calling when others can't and responds with "Here I am." He was humble and available.

Guest speaker Joby Crover. Joby leads us in a look at Psalm 92 and how it is indeed Good to give thanks to the Lord. The Psalmist compares the unrighteous to the righteous one in the picture of the grass versus the palm tree.

Several years after God answers Hannah's prayer for a child she returns to the tabernacle and prays a prayer of praise in the same place she had poured out her soul in grief. The prayer of worship comes from a personal experience with a personal God with hope of a king that would come and set things right. Hannah's prayer highlights how God looks on the lowly, humble, and hungry to raise them up and fill them!

Introductory message to the book of Samuel. A New Testament argument for why we should spend time in the book of Samuel along with a condensed context of the history of the book. The exciting beginning of the book leaves us with 3 lessons we can learn from the life of Hannah, God begins in brokenness, learning to release the pain and hurt to the Lord.
