The Exile of God's Glory Is Bad News
(1 Samuel 4:12-22)
Main Idea:
All bad news is bad news, but some bad news is the worst.
-
Stages of Bad News:
See it coming.
Hear it spoken.
Feel it realized.
How do you receive bad news?
>> Does it catch you off guard?
>> Do you expect it more often than not?
In a scene like this in Samuel, what hope can we find when the news is wave after wave of bad news?
>> What might God be doing to /for /through us in these times?
>> What truths can we cling to?
What relief is there in the darkest of days, even in the face of death that leads to death.
>> How does God taking exile on his people’s behalf shape our life and prayers, even in this moment?
