1 Samuel 31 Our final sermon within 1 Samuel, and it's bleak. We see the death of King Saul as the solemn lesson for great need of faithfulness.
Sometimes people try to manufacture good luck through some kind of "rabbit's foot" thinking. It might be through an actual item or perhaps some ritual or deed. Today we'll see that when the Israelites treated God like a "rabbit's foot", it didn't go so well. Join us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. Who were the Israelites battling in verse 1? How did their battle go in verse 2? How is that different from their previous battles that we've looked at over the past several months? 2. What did the people decide to do in verse 3? What did this disrespect God and seek to use Him as a means for good luck? 3. How did the Philistines react in verses 6 & 7? What happened in verse 10? 4. What was taken in verse 11 and who was killed? What did this indicate regarding the Lord? 5. How did Eli react to this news in verse 18? 6. When Phinehas' wife was dying, she named her newborn son "Ichabod". In verse 22, what does that name mean? Why do you think she gave her son this name? 7. As you reflect on this chapter, what principles can you see about making sure we're not getting ahead of God? 8. Likewise, what principles can you see about the dangers of trying to manipulate God through some kind of religious act that He is not a part of? 9. What are some principles about the danger of trying to manufacture the sense that God is "with us" blessing what we're doing, when that may not be true? 10. How should the people's covenant with God changed how they related to Him? How does your covenant with God impact how you relate to Him today?

What kind of heart is God's servant supposed to have? Today as we study 1st Samuel 3, we'll read about God's call of Samuel and we'll look at how Samuel responds. Join us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. What did we learn yesterday in our study of 1st Samuel 2, about Eli and his sons? How do you think that contributed to the spiritual condition of Israel during this time? 2. What was Samuel doing in verses 2 & 3? Why was he doing that? 3. Who spoke to Samuel in verse 4? Was this an audible voice? Why didn't Samuel recognize it? 4. What does Samuel say to the Lord in verse 9? What does this indicate about his attitude towards God? 5. In verses 11-14, what does the Lord tell Samuel He is going to do? Who was this judgment upon? Why? 6. How did Eli respond to this message when Samuel told him in verse 18? How would you have responded if this was God's message to you? 7. In verses 19 to 20, how did Samuel continue to serve the Lord? What did this confirm? 8. As we reflect upon Samuel's faith, how does his example show us the heart and actions we are to have before the Lord? Where does this come from? How can we grow in these?

This is the message from our Thursday night service on 3/05/2026 titled Esther 2 with Pastor Chet Lowe.
One of the most common accusations against Christians is that they're "hypocrites". While this accusation is often not justified, sometimes it is. Today we will look at 1st Samuel 2, which is a study in contrasts. We'll see the contrasts between a godly woman, hypocritical leaders, and a godly young man. Join us for another practical study in God's Word. DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. In our study, yesterday, of 1st Samuel 1, what did Hannah pray? What did she do with Samuel when the Lord answered her prayer? 2. Verses 1 to 11 contains one of the longest prayers from a woman in the entire Bible. It's a beautiful prayer. As you read over this prayer, how does Hannah's prayer life and the content of her prayers compare to yours? 3. In verse 1, what is Hannah's view of the Lord? Why does she exalt Him? 4. In verses 2 - 4, what does Hannah exult about the Lord? 5. What are the doctrines of God that Hannah praises God for in verses 6 to 10? Are there places where you can you follow her example and bring rich doctrine into your prayers? Which ones? Are any of these doctrines difficult for you to even pray? If so, why? 6. In a bit of spiritual whiplash, now we look at the example of Eli's sons Hophni and Phinehas. How are they described in verse 12? How do their actions in this chapter confirm this description of them? 7. What would they do in verses 13 to 16? How is this a violation of the sacredness that was necessary for the sacrifices in the book of Leviticus? 8. What is the Lord's view of their actions in verse 17? 9. How did they respond to Eli's admonishments in verses 22 - 25? How should they have responded to him? 10. In verse 29, what did the Lord say to Eli about his own values when it comes to things of the Lord? How is it possible to put our children before the Lord today? How can we guard against this possibility? 11. How would you describe this hypocrisy of Eli and his sons? What were its roots? How should it have been rooted out? 12. What was the Lord's judgment upon them in verses 31 to 34? 13. In verse 35, who will God raise up instead? In verses 18 and 26, how was Samuel different from these men? 14. This chapter gives us a powerful example of contrasts. What were the contrasts between Hannah and Eli's sons and Samuel? As you think about your own life, is there any area of hypocrisy that needs to be rooted out? Are there any steps you can take to be more like Hannah and Samuel?

On today's podcast, Pastor Cameron looks at the key difference between David and Saul. Saul's greatest concern when caught in his sin was the praise and honor of men, while David's greatest concern was the presence and approval of God.

Sixto Dormi • 1 Samuel 30:1–30:31 • Escuela Dominical
1 Samuel 29-30 finds David at one of his lowest episodes—his honor shamed by the Philistine commanders, his family kidnapped by the raiding Amalekites, and his men whispering of mutiny. Yet in this moment of darkness, we see a God of redemptive reversal and counterintuitive provision as David found strength in the LORD his God.

Viernes, 27 de febrero de 2026 TU DOSIS DIARIA DE ESPERANZA "Pero Jehová respondió a Samuel: No mires a su parecer, ni a lo grande de su estatura, porque yo lo desecho; porque Jehová no mira lo que mira el hombre; pues el hombre mira lo que está delante de sus ojos, pero Jehová mira el corazón." (1Samuel 16:7) Si alguien llevó el título de "piedra desechada", fue David. Ni siquiera fue considerado por su propio padre cuando el profeta Samuel visitó su casa. Todos sus hermanos pasaron delante del profeta como posibles aspirantes al trono; pero el único que contó con David fue Dios. Llegó a ser llamado "un hombre conforme al corazón de Dios". Su grandeza no estuvo en la perfección, sino en su humildad para reconocer errores y someterse a la disciplina divina. Dios mira el corazón. Y eso cambia todo.

The road back home to God applies to individuals and nations alike God provides us a very clear blueprint as to how we can get back to Him. It entails multiple steps, a bit of discipline, and our entire heart. In 1 Samuel 1 Chapter 7, verses 3-Judges Israel and gave the Israelites the blueprint for the way back home to Him. That same blueprint is 100% the same for you, me the Unites states as a nation and Europe. Let's get started."3 And Samuel said to all the house of Israel, “If you are returning to the Lord with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you and direct your heart to the Lord and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.” 4 So the people of Israel put away the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and they served the Lord only."(1 Samuel 7:3-4)PLEASE SHARE this Podcast with others and SUBSCRIBE as a way to help us share the Gospel message with the world.
