1 Samuel 1-9
1 Samuel
Paul Pierucki · May 17, 2026 · 11:00 AM service
Pastor Pierucki works through the opening chapters of 1 Samuel, starting with Hannah's vow and her sacrifice in lending her son to the Lord, then Eli's failure with his sons, Samuel's calling in the night, the Philistines and Dagon, and Israel's demand for a king. Along the way he presses the assurance of salvation from God's written Word, the need for a song of praise and victory through 1 John 1:9, and the danger of misplaced treasure and idols. He closes with the warnings God gave Israel about what a king and human government would cost them, and reminds hearers that Jesus is King and believers are citizens of heaven.
“And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.”
