1 Samuel Overview + 1: Hannah Cancels Persecution with Prayer
In chapter 1 of the Book of 1 Samuel, we meet Hannah. At this point in her life, her husband is not enough to bring her joy. She is overwhelmed by her barrenness and prays to God in her distress.
We see God provide Hannah with a blessing in the form of a son, whom she names Samuel. What Samuel becomes to Israel is where our story gets more interesting!
Thank you for being a part of the club.

1 Samuel 2 + 3: Hannah Sings, Samuel's Called, and Eli Can't Stop His Sinning Sons
In chapters 2 and 3 of the Book of 1 Samuel, the story transitions from Hannah and the birth of her son Samuel who will be the future prophet and priest, to Eli, the current high priest.
The story of Eli's wicked family is a sad contrast to Samuel's faithful family. Hophni and Phinehas are not qualified to lead the people. But God has provided one last judge to lead Israel and transition the nation to a king. Samuel grows into the judge, priest, and prophet God called him to become.

1 Samuel 4 + 5: Eli Falls and The Ark Takes a Tour of Terror
Chapters 4 and 5 of the Book of 1 Samuel, are part of what is called the ark narrative because they tell the story of the Philistine's victory over Israel and their possession of the ark of the covenant.
Samuel is absent from these chapters. The focus is on the failure of Eli and his sons as spiritual leaders. The loss of the Ark of the Covenant was a visible symbol of Israel’s broken covenant with God.
In chapter 7, Samuel is reintroduced to lead Israel to repentance and deliverance from the Philistines. The first scene in chapter 4 begins with a note from the author that Samuel is doing his job. He is spreading the word of God; however, what happens next implies that Israel was not listening.
Thank you for being a part of the club.

When we open today in 1 Samuel 6, the Israelites have lost the ark and are suffering without the presence of God. The Philistines have gained the ark but are suffering with the presence of God! Samuel is nowhere to be seen...yet.

1 Samuel 8-10: Israel Finally Gets a King
In the first seven chapters of 1 Samuel, we learn the story of Samuel himself. In the following six chapters, we learn of the first King of Israel, Saul.
Israel once again is not satisfied by having the one true God as their king. They want a human ruler and so the search begins...and ends with Saul.
Thank you for being a part of the club.

1 Samuel 10-12: The Rise of King Saul
In 1 Samuel 10, 11, and 12, our story has a back-and-forth feel like a game...a chess game.
Each team now has a king. Team Israel has a king – Saul. Team God has a king – God and a voice -- Samuel.
Let's study the rise of King Saul together.
Thank you for being part of the club.
