1 Samuel 18-19 | Loving the King by Enfield & Strathfield Anglican Church

In this episode, we dive into 1 Samuel 7, where Israel finally turns back to God under Samuel's leadership, casting out idols and reclaiming spiritual authority. As the people repent and return, God thunders from heaven, delivering them from the Philistines and restoring peace.

June 29th, 2025 | Speaker: Preston Goff 1 Samuel 8–10, showing how Israel's desire for a king reveals our own struggle to trust God's leadership.

God is always faithful. Sometimes that faithfulness will manifest itself in judgment, because God is holy and righteous and good God, because of his character, will move against that which is evil. And remember we have said numerous times that that word evil in the Bible has to do with anything that is against God's will.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org6355 N Courtenay ParkwayMerritt Island, FL 32953Feel free to download our MyBibleStudy App on telephonehttps://get.theapp.co/yjjqwe don't know how long we can post the teachings on YThttps://www.instagram.com/mybiblestudyofficial/ To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1255/29

What if 1 Samuel isn't just ancient history, but a sneak peek at Jesus?From failed kings to giant slayers, this 22-minute episode shows how the messy rise of Israel's monarchy points to the King we actually need. Spoiler: It's not Saul.

Henry George speaks to us about how, in the midst of conflict and rejection, David is still showing those around him the kingdom of Jesus.

Saul goes after David, who again spares Saul's life. David exhorts Saul and Saul acknowledges his sin. We learn here that as believers we cannot and must not allow non-believers to make us act like them; in not following the desires of God. When we refuse to conduct our lives in ways that do not reflect reverence and respect for the will of God we are no better than those which persecute us. This is how we defeat them; for love is stronger than hate: God is love.

All of us seek a king or leader to bring stability and security, but only Jesus Christ can lead in perfect righteousness. Placing the "crown" on political leaders, bosses, sports managers, or even oneself, inevitably leads to disappointment and struggle. Jesus alone is the true King of Kings.

Through Samuel the Word of God multiplied and brought stability. The promised judgment upon the house of Eli happened in the battle at Ebenezer - meaning both "the son of help" and "the stone of help". Had a faithful priesthood been present in Israel their Rock would have given His people victory. Instead disaster overtook the nation with the extinction of Eli's line and 30,000 carcasses lying as carrion upon the field. Though foolish sons treated the ark as a lucky charm in contrast to what Yahweh intended- contrast Numbers 10:35-36. Though emboldened by the ark's presence and contrariwise the Philistines dismayed, Israel fell before the foe whose battle cry should be that of the saints in their spiritual warfare (1 Corinthians 16:13). The great catastrophe for the 98 year old Eli and his devout daughter in law was the capture of the ark. Her final word was Ichabod, meaning the glory has departed.The glorious servant of Yahweh in Isaiah 50 showed that the glory returned in the Lord Jesus Christ, as his servant ear was ever open to the Word of his God and instructed his every thought and action. The chapter begins with the LORD as challenging the nation of Israel, who were claiming that their Sovereign had divorced them. This was untrue and the Almighty says show Me your evidence - show Me your bill of divorce. It didn't exist since Yahweh hates "putting away": Malachi 2:10-16. The prophecy of Hosea establishes that despite the nation's continued unfaithfulness their God was ready to take them back as His spouse after a period of separation and genuine repentance. Verses 4-7 contrasts Israel's behaviour with Yahweh's faithful Servant - our Lord Jesus Christ. The Father daily sent an angel to sharpen His Son's magnificently receptive mind to His Father's Word. The Son like the perpetual and voluntary servant under the Law opened his ear to that Word. Read psalm 40:6-8; Hebrews 10:5-10. This submission and acceptance of His Father's way helped to enable the Son to life the life of total service. Jesus was obedient unto death, even the death upon the stake: Philippians 2:5-11. Verses 7-9 describe Jesus' determination to die that death in Jerusalem by which our the basis for our redeeming was established:Luke 9:51. Note the context of this comment from Luke in chapter 9 verses 21-36; 43-44. As a consequence no adversary could stand before him and Yahweh would stand with His servant and provide him with the assurance that Jesus would overcome his foes in the name of his God: Psalm 118:10-29. Verses 10-11 tell those self assured false leaders that their Sovereign would extinguish their fire permanently.

The readings in Samuel follow the journey of the ark whilst it is in Philistine possession until its return to the covenant people at the "forest of the woods" (Kirjath-jearim see Psalm 132). Firstly in Ashdod Yahweh's supremacy is shown over Dagon the fish god, by its symbolic prostration before Israel's God and finally it being shattered. Following this the inhabitants were plagued with tumours, called emerods, or haemorrhoids in the AV; these tumours seemingly being occasioned by a mice plague. Despairingly the ark is relocated to each of the five chief cities and the plagues of mice and tumours following the pattern. The Philistines were terrified that Israel's God would destroy them and so they devised a scheme to make a trespass offering of gold fashioned after their plagues and to send the ark home. They took two cows, which were still feeding their calves, and contrary to the natural expectation wend their way to the house of Joshua in Beth-shemesh. Here curiosity overtook the foolish inhabitants who decided, contrary to God's laws, to gaze inside the ark and consequently 70 men died. Like the Philistines the ark was relocated to Kirjath-jearim where it remained for about 90 years before eventually being brought triumphantly by David to its resting place in Jerusalem.The prophet counsels the nation to reconsider its roots- Abraham and Sarah who responded to God in faith and proceeded to live uprightly before Him resulting in immense blessings. Yahweh their Rock stabilised Zion's foundations and those who likewise follow the path of the righteous will see Eden bloom on earth again in Messiah's kingdom; which will extend to the ends of the earth. Verses 4-6 tell of their Sovereign's appeal for Israel to await the revealing of His righteousness. Verses 7-8 describe the LORD's call to His people that His Law may find a home in their hearts, just as the tables of the Law were rightly within the ark of the Covenant. But for those who lived as though God's Word was but stone tablets they would perish with all those who saw the Law as an inflexible and rigid code which they used to judge others: Hebrews 1 verse 9-13. Verses 9-11 speak of the redeemed rousing themselves to embrace the principles of Zion, the mother of all who are faithful. The Almighty Creator appeals to His children in verses 12-16 to acknowledge His omnipotence. Verses 17-20 asks His children to stir themselves up and arouse themselves from their despondent and downcast state. The nation must forget their past persecutions and embrace Yahweh their faithful husband. God will console His people and bring vengeance upon their foes. Verses 21-23 outline that the cup of affliction will pass from Zion to her adversaries. Let us lift our heads knowing that the redeemed will come to Zion with 'songs of everlasting joy'. And One who will bring this to pass cannot fail, for just as He created the foundations of the universe, so He establishes the foundation of each and every faithful believer

1 Samuel 31; David Harl.

In this episode, we explore 1 Samuel 6, where the Philistines return the Ark of the Covenant after being overwhelmed by God's hand. It's a story of divine weight, failed idols, and the danger of trying to handle God's presence on human terms.

If you are going to be a spiritual leader in a local congregation or in any way at all, your family is going to be watched, and that's Biblically sound, meaning that God wants people who are in leadership to have a family that demonstrates a submissiveness to the Word of God, and when children, for example, are rebellious and they do not do what the Word of God commands, that reflects poorly upon The father, and that fact may indeed disqualify him from being a leader in a local congregation or in some spiritual position that is biblical, and we're going to be looking at a man today that although he was the spiritual leader of Israel, he certainly did not have godly children. In fact, in my opinion, it is shocking how his sons behaved.

This sermon, drawn from 1 Samuel 11, guides listeners through Israel's transition from God as their direct king to the appointment of Saul as the first earthly king. It emphasizes the danger of making compromises with the enemy—illustrated through Nahash's demand to gouge out the right eyes of the people of Jabesh Gilead—and highlights the spiritual lesson that any deal with the enemy leads to distorted vision and disgrace. The message invites believers to see how God, through His Spirit, empowered Saul to act in deliverance, reflecting God's sufficiency and faithfulness. Ultimately, it calls the church to remember their own “Gilgal”—a place of first love and God's demonstrated faithfulness and challenges listeners to examine whether they've experienced true spiritual transformation and deliverance through Christ.

June 22, 2025 - 1Samuel 13-14 by Grace Church of Mentor

His story is proof that God’s calling often comes before the platform—and His timing is never accidental. Don’t miss the powerful start to David’s journey and what it might reveal about your own.

We're switching things up this week and going straight to the Bible to hear the redemptive story of Hannah. Hannah was married to a man who had another wife, Peninnah, who taunted her for not having children. But Hannah sought the Lord and cried out, "If you give me a son, I will give him back to you." And God answered that prayer. Let's jump into her story. @holyandhormonalpodcast
