David (Part 1)
Today we will be looking at the first King of Israel, Saul. And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.1 Samuel 16:1 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD’S…
Saul
Today we will be looking at the first King of Israel, Saul. And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken. When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found. Therefore they enquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come…
Samuel
After they had eaten and drunk in Shiloh, Hannah rose. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat beside the doorpost of the temple of the LORD. She was deeply distressed and prayed to the LORD and wept bitterly. And she vowed a vow and said, “O LORD of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will give…
Watching Over Your Own Soul – David
We are next going to look at David’s fall into adultery and murder. And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife. And when the servants of David were…
The Dad Who Wouldn’t Discipline (1 Samuel 2:12-17,22-34)
Eli was by earthly terms the most successful person of his day; however, he refused to correct his adult sons who were in sin. Because of this, God judged Eli and his sons. From this story we can learn several lessons about fathers. Fathers must get their priorities right Eli was successful at religion; he was the High Priest. He was successful at discipleship; he raised up Samuel. He was the most recognized, popular, and powerful man in his nation.…
Saul and David
And Samuel called the people together unto the Lord to Mizpeh; And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you: And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said…
Samuel
In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. Judges 21: 25 As the time of the judges comes to an end, the nation of Israel is the midst of great moral decay. The Patriarchs, the priests, and the judges have all failed to bring the nation of Israel out of their sin and back into right standing with God. God now raises up a deliverer for the nation…
