In 1 Samuel 7, Samuel calls upon the Israelites to urgently repent of their sin and return to the Lord. Pastor Robbie Symons encourages us to trash the idols of our hearts in true repentance and direct our affections back to the Lord. Listen in to the conclusion of this message on Live in the Light.

In today's text on Live in the Light, we see in 1 Samuel 7 that compromise ultimately led to disaster for the Israelites and to their separation from the Lord's presence. Samuel calls upon the people to urgently repent and pray, turn from their sin and return to the Lord. Pastor Robbie Symons teaches that when we remove the idols from our lives and seek the Lord with repentant, wholly devoted hearts, our good and faithful Father responds with mercy and love!

Moving through The Calvary Road, Pastor Robbie Symons is in Mathew 21, where we see King Jesus make His triumphant entrance into Jerusalem. But who is this King? Join us on Live in the Light as we see the Father’s plan for rescue and salvation enter its final phase. 

Pastor Robbie concludes his message on God's call of Samuel in 1 Samuel 3 on Live in the Light. Throughout the ages, God has used ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things by his power and for his glory. Specifically, he uses and strengthens those who wholly trust in him and are willing to follow him and his authority, regardless of the cost.

Today on Live in the Light, we learn that in every generation, the Lord has personally called men and women unto himself, including Samuel, who eagerly responded with a heart to serve God and eventually be used to change the direction of an entire nation. In his grace, God continues to call people today, building his kingdom and achieving his purpose through those who put their faith in him. Is God calling you today? Pastor Robbie is in 1 Samuel 3.

Pastor Robbie Symons concludes his message about "The Cost of Compromise" on Live in the Light. How has your life, church, family, business, or heart been threatened by compromise? The life that is fully devoted and focused on the gospel is a life that is blessed. The opposite is nothing but disaster.

God has graciously given each of us the gift of free will, which means that we have the freedom to make choices in life. However, when we make selfish choices that are contrary to God's word, we soon find ourselves in sin, grieving the Holy Spirit, and his power in our lives is lost. Today on Live in the Light, we learn that there are severe consequences when we compromise God's truth, but there is also great blessing when we pursue conviction, standing firm in the truth and abiding in Christ. Pastor Robbie speaks from 1 Samuel 2. 

Today on Live in the Light, Pastor Robbie Symons concludes his message in 1 Samuel 1. Samuel's parents' life of prayer was powerful in shaping his character. Do we prioritize prayer over programs in caring for our children? 

When God created this world, we sinned, thereby breaking our relationship with him. But in his love, God sends his Son to die a pure and sinless death. Jesus is the sacrifice we need. Join us on Live in the Light as we conclude this message on atonement, uncovering the beginning of the gospel narrative and the blessedness of Christ's sacrifice in Matthew 21 with Pastor Robbie Symons.

Today's message on Live in the Light with Pastor Robbie Symons introduces us to Samuel's parents, Elkanah and Hannah, found in 1 Samuel 1. Elkanah worshipped the Lord and walked in genuine obedience, evidencing his true love for God and family, even when discouraged by his wife's barrenness. Both he and Hannah modelled a faithfulness and dependence on God in the home where Samuel would be nurtured and raised. His parents' life of prayer was powerful in shaping Samuel's character, preparing him for his eventual positioning as a leader for God's people. Our children are watching - what do they see?
