In this sermon, we see the danger of presumptuous sin and take a look at a couple examples of its disastrous consequences. If we despise or ignore the chastening of the LORD, we will reap the consequences. We also look at the principle of honouring the LORD in our finances through giving.

In this sermon, the lords of the Philistines send the Ark back home to Israel. It is received by the children of Israel with rejoicing - but handled with presumption. Once more, God must defend his holiness and glory!

In this sermon, the Ark of God has been carried into the temple of the Philistines. The LORD miraculously smites their false god Dagon, provoking their repentance and demonstrating His glory.

In this sermon, we continue the cautionary tale of Israel’s defeat at the hands of the Philistines. God fulfills the prophecy of judgment upon Eli and his sons. The Ark has been carried away - and the glory of God has departed from Israel.

In this sermon, the wicked Philistines attack the nation of Israel. Instead of turning to Samuel for God’s counsel, they heed the wicked sons of Eli. Their presumptuous plan to carry the Ark of the Covenant into battle leads to a disastrous defeat - and the Ark of God is stolen away.
