A Child on Loan to God - 1 Samuel 1:17-28

Taught on

I agree with one child educator who said, "Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built." Here, Samuel's mom and dad loaned him back to God to be used for God's service. Three activities describe their parenting of this child-prophet.

Behind Every Good Man Is a Great Mom
1 Samuel 1
Skip Heitzig
Info
Message Summary
Though three men are predominant in this section of kingdom leadership, women also play a leading role when it comes to influence. Israel owes a great honor to this deeply committed gal, who was devoted to God's plan for the family.

Nation at the Crossroads
1 Samuel 2-3
Skip Heitzig
Info
Message Summary
"This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine" is the familiar chorus of a children's worship tune. But we wonder if that child will grow to appreciate that light and actually let it shine in the societal darkness that is all around. The young boy Samuel did. His culture was not unlike our own—it was corrupt. God's Word was rare. It was a perfect opportunity to make a difference, and young Samuel did. He turned on the light so the nation could turn down the right path.

How To Start Your Own Revival
1 Samuel 7
Skip Heitzig
Info
Message Summary
"Revive us!" cried the psalmist (Psalm 80:18). Have you ever prayed for revival—for yourself? Perhaps Samuel and a few other godly ones were praying for it just before the opening of this chapter. After a long period of defeat and spiritual lethargy, revival came to Israel. Spiritual life was in full bloom as God's weary people sowed seeds of revival.

The Making of a Politician
1 Samuel 8
Skip Heitzig
Info
Message Summary
Mix together a cup of discontentment, a teaspoon of conformity, plus a pinch of obstinacy, and you've got a mighty dangerous recipe for a national predicament. The nation of Israel was at a strategic turning point in their history. The people are uneasy and want changes— now! This situation exemplifies one of the constant temptations we all face-settling for second best.

Saul: The Man Who Played the Fool
Skip Heitzig
Info
Message Summary
Albert Schweitzer once noted, "Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing." Saul had all the potential to be a "mover" and a "shaker"—to make a godly and lasting mark on the history of his nation. But he ended differently than he began. Saul's life became a lesson in infamy; his legacy is one of broken promises and wasted years.

God's Pick of the Litter
1 Samuel 16:1-13
Skip Heitzig
Info
Message Summary
No child of God goes out to make enemies. On the contrary, the true Christian is a peacemaker. However, not everyone connected to your life feels the same way. Though you may try to live at peace with all people, it won't always be possible to do so. Some will mildly disagree with your position and views. Others will be downright belligerent and antagonistic. There may even be some who will threaten your life. What then? Let me offer three nuggets of truth from this story of Saul and David:

Beauty And Two Beasts
1 Samuel 25
Skip Heitzig
Info
Message Summary
Far from being the animated Disney feature, this chapter hosts the real-life dreams of an exceptional woman who averted potential disaster. She was a beauty named Abigail, and she mediated between two beasts whose hostility had grown to volatile proportions. With unusual grace and charm, she brought peace where there could have been disaster.

The Right Thing; The Wrong Way
2 Samuel 6
Skip Heitzig
Info
Message Summary
Some of us have a penchant for following details; most of us do not. We figure, "As long as the job gets done, who cares how it gets done?" But if I really see my life as belonging to God, then it really boils down to these questions: Just what does obedience mean? How far will my obedience to God take me? Does it really matter that the details and fine print are attended to? A wise believer will be careful to not only make the right moves, but also to make them in the right fashion.

The Seasons of Sinfulness
2 Samuel 11
Skip Heitzig
Info
Message Summary
"How's the weather?" is one of life's most commonly asked questions. But spiritual life can also seem to have seasons of its own. Sometimes the warm, alluring breezes of temptation can sneak up suddenly and, when acted upon, can bring the cool chill of broken fellowship with God. No one is immune from enticement and temptation. But we can all be aware of how it works and what it brings with it.

A Pointed Finger; An Outstretched Hand
2 Samuel 12
Skip Heitzig
Info
Message Summary
Someone once wisely said, "God loves us the way we are, but He loves us too much to leave us that way." David had sinned grievously before his nation and his God, but then chose to wait it out as if nothing had ever happened. However, God loved David far too much to let him get by with it. David's sin needed to be dealt with so that David's life could reach maximum spiritual potential. So, God sent a prophet to point an accusing finger at David and, at the same time, remind him of God's outstretched hand of mercy.
