Reading 1 Samuel 2:12-26 (NLT) ~ Scripture reading followed by discussion.  The comparison between Eli’s sons and Samuel, Eli’s warning and poor attempt to his sons, and the update on Hannah and Elkanah. Hannah returning yearly and visiting Samuel. God blessing Hannah and Elkanah with more children. How much God loves us is displayed in giving us Jesus as a savior. Eli’s sons believe themselves as the ones who should be served and had no interest in being God’s servants.  Serving the LORD was not about duties alone, it’s about a heart set on the LORD. Samuel grew up in the presence of the LORD. Jesus intercedes for us.
