The Dawn of a New Era

Scott Risley
1 Samuel 1-3

As the time of the Judges comes to a close, Hannah, a faithful servant of the Lord, as promised, offers her only child, Samuel, to the Lord to be His servant. Eli, an unfaithful priest, was unwilling to discipline his sons or show tough love. Samuel, when God calls, answers with, "Here I am!"

40/40 Vision

Peter Greer
1 Samuel 1-3

Mid-life is often marked by unhappiness and uncertainty, with a conflict between our expectations of our lives and the reality–life, as Solomon says, “under the sun.” Long term faithfulness with God depends on us living “above the sun,” a perspective that gives us true hope and purpose. One way this can be expressed is in relationships, which can be successful, constructive, and comforting when conducted with the reality of God's perspective.

Follow Up: Growth, Persecution, and Judgment

Dennis McCallum
2 Thessalonians 1:1-10
