Jonathan shows his faith in God, Saul shows how disconnected from the Lord he truly is.

Saul fails all the tests, God's judgment is swift.

Samuel addresses the people, Saul is made official as king, but Samuel has an important message!

Saul steps up to protect his people, God leads the way!

Samuel anoints Saul as king and equips him for his role.

Saul is discovered by Samuel, God shows him he is His chosen King.

God's people want a king. How does the King of the universe respond? Listen to find out!

The people of God are led by Samuel to seek the forgiveness of the Lord, and in the midst of it the Philistines attack. But then, God shows up!

The Ark in the hands of the Philistines shows us the mighty power of God and what it looks like when hearts are unmoved. 

The Israelites suffer great defeat and in their wisdom, they believe that taking the Ark of God into battle will be the difference maker. Was it? We talk about whether it was or wasn't!

The Lord speaks to Samuel and Samuel gives his first prophecy!

Hannah praises God and speaks to His power, and we learn of the wickedness of Eli's sons and the consequences of grave sin.

Hannah prays with a submissive and offering heart! God answers in a powerful way!

Let's discuss the major themes and practical lessons we will learn in our journey through 1 Samuel!

Join us as we look at the life of Moses after the book of Exodus  in becoming the man who God himself said "there has never been another prophet in Israel like Moses..."!

God enters the Tabernacle!

The Tabernacle and all of its instruments are built, ind in it we see Jesus and His character!

The construction of the Tabernacle begins!

The people get their marching orders for the construction of the Tabernacle and it's various resources! We see what a giving and willing heart looks like!

God re-establishes His covenant with his people and gives Moses the law. 

Moses boldly intercedes for the people and then has a bold request for himself!

The people ask for a god to worship. We think we know the story of the golden calf, but it's so much deeper than we think!

God appoints the craftsmen to create the Tabernacle and he gives a warning regarding the Sabbath. God uses our gifts, given to us by Him, for His glorious purposes!

The incense altar and washbasin are created!

The consecration of the priesthood of Aaron and his sons continues!
