We’re diving into a tough but important story from 1 Samuel: when God’s people misused the Ark of the Covenant and faced the consequences. Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phineas, led Israel into battle with the wrong motives, treating God like a good luck charm rather than trusting Him. The result was devastating. But even in the middle of Israel’s failure, God showed that His power and authority are never threatened. We’ll talk about how to help our kids understand the difference between seeking God and trying to use Him, and how to walk with Him in both success and struggle.
