This past Sunday, Steve spoke to us on 1 Samuel 25:1a. While this is only 1 verse, it is an important one that tells of Samuel's death. Steve explained how monumental this was for the people of Israel, all of whom it is said gathered for his funeral and burial. From there Steve reflected on the story of Samuel, beginning with how his birth was a gift from God to Hannah. He then went on to retell Samuel's life and the many great things that God did through him. In this, Steve made a point in showing how Samuel is a great example of God using people to carry out His work. Going deeper, he shared that we are the hands and feet of God who look towards being counted in the great cloud of witnesses with Samuel and others. Steve also emphasized the importance of being in a community with other believers if we are to successfully finish the race that is sharing the good news.
