The Judgment of Eli’s House and the Ark in Captivity

The Judgment of Eli’s House and the Ark in Captivity

1 Samuel 4:1b - 5:12

Many people treat God like a lucky charm to pull out in a crisis, but he refuses to be used, even when it costs him honor before his enemies. In this lesson, Jason Southerland shows why Israel’s presumption brought disaster, how the fall of Eli and the toppling of Dagon reveal God’s holiness, and why God’s judgment is sometimes his grace calling us back.
