The Glory Has Left the Room (1st Samuel 4:1-22) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1st Samuel 4, we come to one of the darkest moments in Israel's story: the ark of God is captured, Eli dies, and the cry goes up, "The glory has departed from Israel." But the deeper problem wasn't that Israel had lost the ark—it was that they had tried to use God rather than worship God. As we consider Israel's "Thou Art Useful" faith, we'll be challenged to ask whether we love God for what He gives us or simply because He is worthy. And we'll see the surprising hope of the Gospel: the God w
Speak Oh Lord (1st Samuel 3:1-21) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This Sunday in 1st Samuel 3, we see a pivotal moment in Israel's history: God speaks again. In a time when "the word of the LORD was rare," God calls the young Samuel and begins to restore His prophetic word and presence among His people. But what does it mean for us to truly listen when God speaks? As we consider Samuel's response, "Speak, for your servant hears," we'll be reminded that God still speaks through His living and written Word—and that His Word both exposes our sin and draws us into
Help Wanted - Priest (1st Samuel 2:12-36) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1st Samuel 2:12–36, we see a priesthood that has become corrupted and leaders who have lost sight of God. Yet even in the darkness, God is at work rebuilding what has been broken. The story ultimately points us to Jesus, our Great High Priest, who perfectly knows the Father, keeps His Word, and gives Himself to secure our redemption. As those who belong to Christ, we too are called to live as His priests in the world—knowing God, worshiping according to His Word, and bringing Jesus to those a
The Prayers of a Righteous Woman (1st Samuel 1:1-28) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We start in 1st Samuel with the story of Hannah — a woman whose barrenness, grief, and desperate prayer set the stage for the birth of Israel's prophet and, ultimately, point us all the way to Christ. In 1st Samuel 1, we watch Hannah move from deep pain to honest prayer to open-handed surrender, discovering along the way that her true need was never simply a child, but God Himself. Her story teaches us how to pray in our own pangs — not with bargaining or preposterous vows, but with desperate ho
Introduction to 1st Samuel (1st Samuel 2:1-10) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As we kick off a new series of study through 1st Samuel, we begin with Hannah's Song in 2:1–10, a prayer that sets the melodic line for the whole story: God humbles the proud and exalts the humble as He establishes His upside-down Kingdom. Hannah's life—marked by years of barrenness, stubborn prayer, and a boast rooted entirely in God rather than herself—teaches us that real, lasting fruit for the Kingdom rarely comes through drive and charisma alone, but through humility, weakness, and dependen
