As we continue in First Samuel five today, we see the Ark of the Covenant being transported. Now, there aren’t any snake pits, and Harrison Ford is nowhere to be found, but what we see here is a clear example of the folly of disobeying God.

Pastor Jeff has an eye on First Samuel four today. God is about to remove His presence from the nation of Israel. Sounds severe doesn’t it, and it is! But what would lead the Lord to do this? We’ll look into that together and learn that it comes down to misguided faith.

When God makes a promise, you can be sure He’ll keep His Word. And in First Samuel four, God is about to come through on a promise He made in chapter three. He’s going to judge Eli and deal with his two sons. If you’ll recall, Eli failed to discipline his sons, and they steered off in the wrong direction.

These are difficult days, no doubt. Evil is on the rise, and those who stand for the truth are routinely ridiculed. But in the midst of the mess, God has an important mission and calling for us. Today you’ll be encouraged to embrace God’s call with open arms.

Our condition is not unlike the nation Samuel grew up in. The Word of God was often rejected in those days, due to the rebellion and unbelief of the people. We see that all around us today. In the midst of it all, Samuel received God’s call for his life and experienced a fruitful ministry. The same can come true for you and me, if we’re willing.

Pastor Jeff is currently leading us through a new verse by verse series in First and Second SamuelSamuel. This book describes a real transitional period for Israel. Samuel was a great man, and he came along at a time when Israel really needed one. Fresh off their journey out of Egypt and into the promised land, it was time for them to decide who was going to be their leader.

Last time we learned that God is worthy of honor, and then we went on to discover ways that He chooses to honor us. Well, today, we’ll switch gears and check out some ways we can honor God in bigger and better ways. We all agree that God is certainly worth honoring, but we fall for the traps of the world and seek to honor God in some pretty dishonorable ways!

If you were with us last trims you know that we begin a brand new series in First and Second Samuel. If you’ve never studied these great books, than I urge you to stay with us for the coming months, because they are filled with great accounts of people like David and Hannah, not to mention the great accounts of the Ark of the Covenant and David’s battle with Goliath. We are in chapter one of First Samuel again today.

The people of God had been led into the promised land. Life was good. Were they satisfied? No. They didn’t really know what they wanted. They wanted to be led by a Judge. Then they wanted a King. Sound familiar? Let’s join pastor Jeff Johnson in First Samuel chapter one for today’s introduction to First Samuel.
