601. How Do We Return to God? 1 Samuel 7:2b - 17 Toki Numbere 19072026 by City Church Lagos
What's sitting on the throne of your heart—God, money, pleasure, success, or something else? Pastor Jeff Schreve delivers a convicting message about the hidden idols that keep believers from experiencing revival and spiritual victory. Learn why true repentance requires a clean break from sin and how God responds when His people wholeheartedly return to Him.
Have we forgotten just how holy God really is? Pastor Jeff Schreve explores the sobering story of the ark of the covenant, Israel's spiritual compromise, and the devastating consequences of treating God casually. Discover why repentance, reverence, and wholehearted surrender are essential if we want to experience God's presence and power today.
Robert Morgan, Associate Pastor of World Outreach Church, shares that America's founding was deeply shaped by Scripture, reminding us that God still calls us to build our lives on the unchanging foundation of His Word. Long before the Declaration of Independence, pastors were preaching from Scripture and shaping the ideas that would become the foundation of a new nation. Seven key Bible verses played a remarkable role in American history, from Deuteronomy 1:13 inspiring the first colonial constitution to Acts 4:12 being spoken over a dying Alexander Hamilton. George Washington, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and others drew deeply from the Bible in their leadership and decision-making. The Constitutional Convention itself was rescued from collapse when Franklin quoted Psalm 127:1 and called the delegates to prayer. These stories have been quietly removed from textbooks, but they are real and they matter. The same God who guided a fledgling nation through impossible odds is still at work today, and the question for each of us is whether we will build our lives on His foundation.Verse References:Deuteronomy 1:13 inspired pastor Thomas Hooker to argue that people have a God-given right to choose their own leaders. His ideas led directly to the Connecticut Constitution, the prototype for the U.S. Constitution.Romans 13:1 was the text of a 1750 sermon that John Adams later called the catechism of the revolution, preached by Jonathan Mayhew more than two decades before the first shots were fired.Psalm 35:1 was read aloud at the First Continental Congress at a moment of crisis, and the delegates felt as though it had been placed in the Bible just for them.Joel 3:19 was the text pastor Jonas Clark preached after seven members of his congregation were killed at Lexington Green, the opening battle of the Revolutionary War.1 Samuel 7:12 was the passage Washington's chaplain preached after the impossible victory at Yorktown, calling the soldiers to remember God's providential help throughout the war.Psalm 127:1 was quoted by Benjamin Franklin at the Constitutional Convention when the entire process was on the verge of collapse. Washington then led the delegates to a nearby church to pray, and they returned to produce the Constitution.Acts 4:12 were among the last words spoken over Alexander Hamilton as he lay dying after his duel with Aaron Burr. He humbly acknowledged his sin and trusted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.

1 Samuel 7.2-14 2 Il s'était passé bien du temps depuis le jour où l'arche avait été déposée à Kirjath-Jearim. Vingt années s'étaient écoulées. Alors toute la maison d'Israël poussa des gémissements vers l'Eternel. 3 Samuel dit à toute la maison d'Israël: Si c'est de tout votre cœur que vous revenez à l'Eternel, ôtez du milieu de vous les dieux étrangers et les Astartés, dirigez votre cœur vers l'Eternel, et servez-le lui seul; et il vous délivrera de la main des Philistins. 4 Et les enfants d'Israël ôtèrent du milieu d'eux les Baals et les Astartés, et ils servirent l'Eternel seul. 5 Samuel dit: Assemblez tout Israël à Mitspa, et je prierai l'Eternel pour vous. Et ils s'assemblèrent à Mitspa. 6 Ils puisèrent de l'eau et la répandirent devant l'Eternel, et ils jeûnèrent ce jour-là, en disant: Nous avons péché contre l'Eternel! Samuel jugea les enfants d'Israël à Mitspa. 7 Les Philistins apprirent que les enfants d'Israël s'étaient assemblés à Mitspa, et les princes des Philistins montèrent contre Israël. A cette nouvelle, les enfants d'Israël eurent peur des Philistins, 8 et ils dirent à Samuel: Ne cesse point de crier pour nous à l'Eternel, notre Dieu, afin qu'il nous sauve de la main des Philistins. 9 Samuel prit un agneau de lait, et l'offrit tout entier en holocauste à l'Eternel. Il cria à l'Eternel pour Israël, et l'Eternel l'exauça. 10 Pendant que Samuel offrait l'holocauste, les Philistins s'approchèrent pour attaquer Israël. L'Eternel fit retentir en ce jour son tonnerre sur les Philistins, et les mit en déroute. Ils furent battus devant Israël. 11 Les hommes d'Israël sortirent de Mitspa, poursuivirent les Philistins, et les battirent jusqu'au-dessous de Beth-Car. 12 Samuel prit une pierre, qu'il plaça entre Mitspa et Schen, et il l'appela du nom d'Eben-Ezer, en disant: Jusqu'ici l'Eternel nous a secourus. 13 Ainsi les Philistins furent humiliés, et ils ne vinrent plus sur le territoire d'Israël. La main de l'Eternel fut contre les Philistins pendant toute la vie de Samuel. 14 Les villes que les Philistins avaient prises sur Israël retournèrent à Israël, depuis Ekron jusqu'à Gath, avec leur territoire; Israël les arracha de la main des Philistins. Et il y eut paix entre Israël et les Amoréens.
What is standing between you and wholehearted devotion to Jesus? In this powerful message from the Half-Heartedseries, Pastor Joe Baker unpacks the Bible's warning against idolatry and reveals how modern idols—such as success, comfort, money, approval, relationships, and control—can quietly compete for our hearts. Through the story of Israel's repentance in 1 Samuel 7, we see that spiritual breakthrough begins when God's people stop managing their idols and start putting them away. This sermon is a call to repentance, wholehearted worship, and renewed devotion to Christ, reminding us that true freedom, victory, and revival are found when Jesus alone sits on the throne of our hearts.
In this sermon, Pastor Steven explores the pivotal transition from the era of the judges to the rise of Israel's monarchy. Through Israel's repentance at Mizpah, Samuel's victory over the Philistines, and the raising of the Ebenezer stone, we see a God who remains faithful to His people despite their weakness and wandering. Yet as Israel demands a king “like the nations,” this message reveals both the danger of rejecting God's rule and the hope of a greater King whom God would provide in His mercy. Ultimately, the story points us to Christ, the faithful King who accomplishes God's good purposes even through human failure.
Nothing gives us hope quite like "but God" moments. The people of God learned about the power of such a moment then and the power of that moment is still present today. Let's pray...

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 people to understand that the key wasn't getting the Ark back - the key was that God wanted their hearts back.
We all know the feeling — looking around, seeing what everyone else has, and quietly thinking, “I want that.” In 1 Samuel 7 and 8, the people of Israel did exactly that. They had God as their King. They had miracle after miracle in their rearview mirror. And they still asked for a human king “like all the other nations have.”In this message at Love Church Omaha, Luke Reelfs walks through the danger of getting what you think you want when it's outside of God's best — and gives a three-step path back: turn from idols, trust God's leadership, talk to Him before you chase what everyone else is chasing.

The path to God's rescuing deliverance involves taking actions of repentance to renounce, remove, and replace our false gods as we return to Him with our whole hearts.---We desire to see the Gospel saturate a people, awakening them by the glory of God to treasure Jesus as better.For more Gospel-centered teaching and resources, including audio and video downloads of our sermons, please visit our website: http://www.thewellchurchok.com/resourcesInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/thewellchurchokFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/thewellchurchok
True repentance begins in the mind - moves to the heart - then gets to our hands and feet! It's admitting what God says is true, agreeing with it, and with His help, we do it! This is Sound Doctrine with pastor Jeff Johnson. To agree with God we must know what He thinks about things. Today we're in First Samuel chapter seven.

Repentance is important when dealing with the sin on our lives, but on Today's broadcast, we'll see God's people waiting twenty years before repenting. Now that's a long time!

In this opening sermon to 1 Samuel, Pastor Steven introduces the story of Israel's transition from chaos to kingship through the lens of the “Ebenezer”—a stone that marks God's faithfulness. Tracing the broader story of Scripture from Judges to the rise of Samuel, Saul, and David, this message shows how God's people, broken and leaderless, are led toward the need for a true king.As the story unfolds, 1 Samuel reveals not only how God has been faithful in the past, but how He will continue to be faithful—ultimately pointing beyond David to the greater King who secures lasting salvation for His people.
Ebenezer, or the stone of help, marked Samuel's testimony: Hitherto hath the LORD helped us. That was the name of the memorial stone that Samuel set up to commemorate a truly great deliverance. Israel's people, weak from a day of fasting and repentance, subdued the powerful army of Philistia, which had ruled over them for the last 20 years.It us not a victory brought about by military might, but rather an answer to Samuel's prayer, and it commenced a period of peace in Israel, as Samuel the prophet became the national leader of his country.

Samuel enters the Scriptures during a chaotic period of historyThe best way to understand it, is found in a line repeated in Judges“In those days there was no king in Israel” (Jdg. 18:1 and 19:1)- and again at the very end of Judges, with an added explanation“In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes” (Jdg. 21:25)- I have a friend who wrote a book on the Kingdom of God• and though I enjoyed reading it and trust him as a serious student of the Bible,◦ I disagree with his take on this verse◦ he suggests that everyone doing what was right in their own eyes was a good thingSteve Gregg, suggests that “. . . liberty of personal conscience prevailed, rather than dominated by a human (and therefore corrupt) earthly ruler.”• but that this isn't what that line means is proven elsewhere◦ in Moses' instructions to Israel when they would enter the land, he says,“You shall not do according to all that we are doing here today, everyone doing whatever is right in his own eyes . . . .” (Deut. 12:8-9)◦ really, all you have to do is read the last three chapters of Judges to see the confusion and tragedy that resulted from everyone doing what they considered the right thing
