First Samuel Sermon-Fest

We have been going through 1st Samuel in Sunday Evening Worship for some time now. We are almost ready to move on to 2nd Samuel. An interesting new twist for me is that our weekday morning worship schedule is now intersecting with Sunday evenings, although moving at a much faster pace. I will finish 1st Samuel next Tuesday morning (Lord willing). Within 1 week of that we will have left the Sunday night schedule way behind and before too long we will be in 1st Kings. Anyway, I appreciate going through these passages twice. They are rich, and sometimes challenging to interpret, but there is a lot there that demands frquent review.

Another thought on this: One criticism of preaching through books of the Bible is that you can spend years just going through one book. Very few pastors actually make it through the whole Bible if they preach every text in one book before moving on to another one. Reformers like Calvin preached daily sermons during the week. That makes a big difference. Because of the weekday morning worship exercises, I will preach through the whole Bible in just a few years if God allows. That is a great privilege, and good for my soul.
