Reflections from Chapters 1-12

Context Tolerance became the supreme value

Context Women were forced to take the initiative

Context Tolerance became the supreme value Women were forced to take the initiative Men became passive in battle and aggressive in sensuality

Context Tolerance became the supreme value Women were forced to take the initiative Men became passive in battle and aggressive in sensuality Why did God allow it to go on for so long?

Chapter 1 We witness the birth of a new era

Chapter 1 We witness the birth of a new era Hannah is a silent sufferer who was constantly hammered

Chapter 1 We witness the birth of a new era Hannah is a silent sufferer who was constantly hammered In her distress she prays…

Chapter 1 We witness the birth of a new era Hannah is a silent sufferer who was constantly hammered In her distress she prays… “And the LORD remembered her” – v.19

Chapter 1 We witness the birth of a new era Hannah is a silent sufferer who was constantly hammered In her distress she prays… “And the LORD remembered her” – v.19 How often do we choose to live in the endless cycle of self-pity rather than initiating godly change through fervent prayer?

Chapter 2 Glorious praise flows from the lips of Hannah

Chapter 2 Knowing God is the path to sexual purity because the purpose of sex and the purpose of the body, is to magnify the supreme worth of God and the infinite value of Jesus Christ.

Chapter 3 God lovingly and patiently speaks to young Samuel

Chapters 5-7 An idol is anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your heart and imagination more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can give.

Chapter 8 Israel wants a king!

Chapter 8 Israel wants a king! One of the greatest judgments that God can give us is to let us have our own way…”And He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.” Ps.106:15

Chapter 8 The problem is not that we desire – the problem is that we desire sin rather than God. We’ve been duped by the devil into believing that the pleasures of this world are more enjoyable and satisfying that all God is for us in Jesus.

Chapters 9-10 We are introduced to Saul with an impressive genealogy

Chapters 9-10 We are introduced to Saul with an impressive genealogy God uses Kish’s donkeys to initiate the activity

Chapter 12 Samuel gives his inauguration speech Their response: NO! a king shall reign over us! Then comes the great foundational ground of the GOSPEL “For the LORD will not forsake His people, for His great name’s sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you a people for Himself.” 1 Samuel 12:22 ESV

Chapter 12 What is the deepest foundation of God’s faithfulness?

Chapter 12 What is the deepest foundation of God’s faithfulness? Beneath and behind God’s delight in choosing a people, there is a deeper delight, namely, the immense satisfaction God has in His own name.

Chapter 12 God’s allegiance to His own name is the foundation of His faithfulness to you!

Chapter 12 God’s allegiance to His own name is the foundation of His faithfulness to you! “If we are faithless, He remains faithful – for He cannot deny Himself.” 2 Timothy 2:13
