Twenty five years passed between the end of 1 Samuel 7 and the beginning of 1 Samuel 8. We are introduced to a much older Samuel, coming to terms with the challenges of preparing the nation for the end of his ministry. He had been faithful for many years, but his sons were not up to the task of spiritual leadership and the people knew it. Seasons of change and transition can be very hard for most of us; but God has shown through His word how we can process them ourselves, and how we can prepare the next generation to serve God faithfully. In today's message, Pastor Mark will teach us how to prepare for seasons of change.
