“The King of Israel, the Serpent-Slayer”

1 Samuel 11:1-15 - Jerry Scheumann

As Saul crushes Nahash the Ammonite, brings salvation for the people of God, and establishes his kingdom, we see a shadow of the far greater salvation that comes in Jesus Christ, the seed of the woman who crushes the head of the serpent. Rejoice in Christ,who has crushed the serpent, brought a mighty salvation, and established His Kingdom on high.

“Lost Donkeys and the Merciful Providence of God”

1 Samuel 9:1-27 - Jerry Scheumann

Through all the seemingly random events in the life of a seemingly random man from Gibeah, we are reminded of the truth that God's providence extends over all things and God governs mercifully toward His own people.
