Israel Needs a Deliverer (1 Samuel 4-7)

Tune in to hear Pastor Josh preach through a long, but necessarily connected, narrative concluding Eli’s story, and further our understanding of God’s desire for relationship, not just a religious rigour.

“Hopefully it is clear now why these four chapters about the ark of the covenant are one story: A story that begins and ends at Ebenezer, which means ‘The Stone of Help’ in reference to God’s deliverance of his people. Where the story begins with Israel’s overconfidence in God’s favor because they carried the ark, it ends with the ark temporarily out of the picture. Salvation and deliverance come from the Lord himself.
