“The Tragic End of King Saul”

1 Samuel 31:1-13 - Jerry Scheumann

God brings judgment upon King Saul for his rebellion against Him. In God's judgment, we see the punishment of God upon those who dishonor Him, and we see a foil for Righteous King Jesus.

“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.
