We Must Turn To The Lord With All Our Hearts. - 1 Samuel 7:2-17

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of turning to God with all our hearts, using the story of Israel and the Ark of the Covenant as a backdrop.

I fixed the problem; why don't I feel better? We've been in scenarios like this. For Israel, the problem was that the ark had been captured. But God fixed that problem - it's back! And yet, "the house of Israel lamented after the Lord..." Something still wasn't right. Samuel leads the people to understand that the key wasn't getting the Ark back - the key was that God wanted their hearts back.
