FAITH STANDING
Hebrews 11:32
Our text if found in Hebrews, chapter 11, but our scripture is found in I Samuel,
chapter 1. So if you would turn to I Samuel, chapter 1, that's our primary scripture
of the morning. Let's bow for prayer together.
Father, speak to us, deal with us. May Thy voice be heard clearly and directly

women would say if somehow the Holy Spirit had left out Samuel, we would never
have understood it. Samuel was, indeed, a tremendous man of faith, a wonderful,
fabulous leader of God's people. Samuel, in fact, was a judge as well as a prophet.
He was the last of the judges. And you remember the judges operated primarily on
the basis of power and strength and military acumen, whereas the prophets were men
of God. They were spokesmen, they were not so much foretellers. That was a part
of their prophetic role, but they were forthtellers. They spoke authoritatively for God.
And so we see Samuel was the last of the judges. You read the last verse in the last
chapter in the book of Judges, it says an indicting thing about this particular period
in history. It says there was no k ...
