He is Holy

Sep 22, 2019    1 Samuel 4-6

This week, we will see the prophesied punishment on Eli’s family become reality. Because of the sin of Eli’s sons, the Israelites faltered in their battle with their enemies, the Philistines. In an effort to turn the battle in their favor, the Israelites looked to the symbol of God presence, but they didn’t look to the God behind the symbol. We tend to do the same. We stand as unholy people before a holy God. And no external solutions can bridge that gap. Our only hope is found in our savior, Jesus Christ.
