We begin a new series this week, Summer of Sam, as we turn our attentions to the books of 1 and 2 Samuel. Over the next few weeks we will be taking a look at the people we find in these books to see how God is in sovereign control of all things at all times.  We will see how God's sovereignty led the nation of Israel from the time of judges to the time of the monarchy.  And through it all we will find that God is still in sovereign control of all things.
