SAMUEL -- A TRUE PROPHET Chris continues his study of the first book of Samuel, examining how the Lord raised up Samuel in the sight of ancient Israel, in such a way, that there was no question about whether he was a true prophet of God. The Scripture says that "Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground." Samuel would ultimately replace the wicked priesthood that had defiled the worship of the Lord, but his journey is one that provides lessons to us in our day as we seek to walk in the faith and obedience of Christ.
