When God warns His people, they don't listen. What could lead to this kind of blatant stubborn rebellion? A slow drift. Samuel's old, his sons are corrupt. Change is needed. So naturally, the people look at the nations around them to see what they're missing - a king! But their look elsewhere has se

I fixed the problem; why don't I feel better? We've been in scenarios like this. For Israel, the problem was that the ark had been captured. But God fixed that problem - it's back! And yet, "the house of Israel lamented after the Lord..." Something still wasn't right. Samuel leads the peo

There's temptation for believers to seek God for their own ends. We start by seeking God for His glory, but over time, our prayers, worship, and acts are all oriented around what we want from God. In 1 Samuel 4, Israel tries using God to help them defeat the Philistines. It ends in tragedy. Why? Bec

Has God seemed silent? Felt far and uninvolved? That was the situation in Israel. "The word of the Lord was rare in those days." But little Samuel learns that God is a God who speaks, and that it's important to heed His word. The problem in Israel wasn’t that God hadn't given His Word. The

We have an innate sense of justice. We're alarmed when leaders lie, criminals escape, or coworkers cut corners. Who sets things right? Where's God? These questions were raised during the time of Eli the priest and his wicked sons. But 1 Samuel 2:11-36 confirms that God cares and is always at work to
