The opening chapters of 1 Samuel present two very different responses to God. Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phinehas, served as priests but treated God’s commands with contempt. Samuel was still a boy, but he learned to listen when God spoke. One group possessed religious authority without knowing God, while Samuel came to know God through His revealed word.

BEST OF EPISODE:  "God Will Supply the Strength You Need" - Ephesians 3

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/5f66dcc3-fca6-4990-9a0f-b4d3000e8e67/transcript

The book of 1 Samuel begins during an important transition in Israel’s history. The period of the judges is coming to an end, and Israel will soon begin asking for a king. Before the book introduces us to Samuel, Saul, or David, however, it introduces us to a woman named Hannah. Her story begins with sorrow, moves through prayer and faith, and concludes with one of the great songs of praise in the Old Testament.

Hannah was married to Elkanah, but she was unable to have children. Elkanah’s other wife, Peninnah, had sons and daughters, and she regularly provoked Hannah because of her barrenness. This was more than an occasional irritation. Scripture tells us that this happened “year by year” (1 Samuel 1:7). Hannah carried this burden for a long time.

Elkanah loved Hannah and attempted to comfort her, but he couldn’t give her what she wanted most. When the family traveled to Shiloh to worship, Hannah’s grief became particularly intense.

"Hannah Prays for a Son" - 1 Samuel 1:1-2:11

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/f6c49ba0-0369-4111-933a-b4c5001085b6/transcript

Every believer lives with a tension between what is and what will be. We know Christ has saved us, yet we still live in a world marked by sin, grief, sickness, conflict, disappointment, and death. We experience God’s presence, but we don’t yet see Him face to face. We enjoy His blessings, but we also feel the limitations of life in a fallen world.

Revelation 21 and 22 take us to the end of that tension. They show us where the story of redemption is going. Several months ago, we finished a lengthy study on the book of Revelation, and I wanted to bring us back to the book one more time as we conclude this series as well because there’s a lesson for us that I hope we’ll see.

God isn’t just rescuing individuals from judgment. He’s bringing His entire redemptive plan to completion. He will renew creation, dwell with His people, remove every trace of the curse, and allow those who belong to Christ to enjoy His presence forever. This is actually where the theme of glorifying God and enjoying Him forever reaches its fullest expression. We were created to live in fellowship with God, and one day that fellowship will be unhindered by sin, sorrow, distance, or death.
