Continuing our series in 1 Samuel, we turn to chapter four. Our theme for the study is God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. This week, the lesson is that pride comes from not “knowing” God and “testing” Him.
We come to know God through...
Story — the things we’ve heard
Statute — the things we’ve been taught
Steadfastness — applying the word of God in our daily lives
But we often test God by being...
Forgetful — distorting the things we’ve heard
Faithless — Ignoring the things we’ve been taught
Flattered — Living daily with self-importance
