“The Idol That Couldn’t Stand Up”

1 Samuel 5:1-12 - Jerry Scheumann

When wicked men seem to triumph, we can have confidence that because God is a jealous God, He will be exalted among the nations, whether in judgment or in merciful salvation.

“Ichabod—The Glory Has Departed”

1 Samuel 4:1-22 - Jerry Scheumann

The capture of the ark of the covenant is one of the great tragedies of Israel's history up to this point, and this gives us two warnings of the dangers of dishonoring God. This ought to compel you to cling to the grace of Christ and walk in a way that honors God.
