Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 12:14-15 (Samuel's Address to Israel)
-THIS SUNDAY'S SERMON-
Read 1 Samuel 12. As Samuel speaks to Israel, notice his focus on the kindness and faithfulness of God toward His people. In verse 22, we see why God will not forsake His people - "for His great name's sake". In verses 19-25, Samuel gives wonderful instruction to Israel that will be good for us to follow as God's children:
Do not be afraid. Do not turn aside from following the LORD. Serve the LORD with all your heart. Do not turn aside after empty things that cannot profit or deliver. Only fear the LORD. Serve Him faithfully with all your heart.
This Sunday, we will be partaking in the Lord's Supper. In preparation, read
1 Corinthians 11:17-30 Isaiah 53
