In this message, Pastor Lloyd contrasts the early life of Samuel with the wickedness of Eli?s sons, Hophni and Phinehas. Though called to be priests, Eli?s sons defiled the temple through their sinful actions, leading Israel into a spiritually dead state. In contrast, God raised up one faithful boy?Samuel?who listened to His voice and served Him wholeheartedly. This study challenges believers to fear God, walk in His commands, and avoid the careless and sinful ways of Hophni and Phinehas.
