This week, Pastor Jim walks us through 1 Samuel 2:11–3:21, contrasting the corruption of Eli’s sons with the growing faithfulness of young Samuel. In a time when “the word of the Lord was rare,” God calls Samuel by name, showing that He is still speaking even in spiritually dark seasons. Samuel’s response—“Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening”—challenges us to posture our hearts in readiness and obedience. The passage reminds us that God is raising up faithful servants and that His Word never fails to accomplish His purposes.
