    Still They Speak - Elkanah and Jamie

    In this week’s message from our Still They Speak series, we listened to the witness of two fathers: one from the Old Testament and one from our own day. Through the life of Elkanah, the father of Samuel, we saw the example of a man who remained faithful to God in a spiritually corrupt generation. His life reminds us not to let the faithlessness of others determine our own faithfulness to the Lord and that our families will likely follow what we consistently prioritize.  We also heard from Jamie, a current father whose faith has been refined through deep suffering. After losing his first wife, the birth mother of his two daughters, to cancer, Jamie came face-to-face with the reality that he could not father his girls in his own strength. Through that loss, he learned to depend completely upon his Heavenly Father for wisdom, strength, and guidance as he raised his daughters. His testimony was a powerful reminder that God’s grace is sufficient even in our greatest trials and that we may not be perfect earthly fathers, but by God's Spirit we can be good fathers who lead our families to Christ. Both witnesses ultimately point us to Jesus, the truer and better Elkanah, who remained perfectly faithful to His Father and made God's will His highest priority in every area of life. As Christ’s followers, we are called to shine faithfully in a faithless world, lead our families toward God, and rely daily on our Heavenly Father’s strength rather than our own.
