Looking for a Leader

If you joined us for worship last Sunday, you'll remember that we examined the sad and dark state of God's people in the book of Judges.  Israel's apathy ultimately led to a destructive cycle of sin and disobedience to God's good word.  The final verse of Judges states, "In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes."

It is at this critical time in the life of God's people that we pick up our study this week in the book of 1 Samuel.  Will God provide the leader that Israel so desperately needs?  What is to become of the covenant that God made with Abraham so many years before?  What applications from 1 Samuel can be made in our lives and in the life of our church?  We will be looking at these and other questions throughout the summer as we study this remarkable book together.

Feel free to read through chapter one to get a head start on what we'll be learning this Sunday.  The first chapter of 1 Samuel really sets the tone for the book, so I encourage you to join us at Old North this Sunday at 9:30am or 11:00am - and every week this summer, as we grow together in the grace and knowledge of the Lord.

See you then!

Chris
