Summary
We begin a brand new study in the Old Testament book of 1 Samuel on Wednesday nights with Pastor Gino Geraci. The first three chapters of 1 Samuel introduce us to three main characters; a godly mother named Hannah; a careless Father named Eli and a devoted son named Samuel.
The book of I Samuel chronicles the last judge (chapters 1-12) and the first king (chapters 13-31). The book begins with Samuel gaining the public trust and ends with the public completely disillusioned with Saul the new King.
We find Jesus in the book 1 Samuel; typified in Samuel-as prophet, priest and judge; and later in the life of David; the shepherd who becomes king; born in Bethlehem.
The book of Samuel describes a nation in transition.
