“The Curses and Comforts of the Covenant”

1 Samuel 12 - Jerry Scheumann

Samuel's call to Israel to covenant renewal teaches us that our relationship with God in christ Jesus is that of a covenant, not a casual relationship, and this ought to compel you to faithful living before the Lord and to take comfort in His commitment to you.

“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.
