Presbytery and Samuel
Presbytery went very well. When it began there were 14 member churches - now there are 20, with another 5 set to join next year. We are one of the six new member churches. God is good.
Preached on 1 Samuel 2 this morning - the corruption of Eli's sons. Here's the outline of the text:
I. Prophecy against Eli - vss 1-10
II. Samuels serves and grows - vs 11
III. Eli's sons' corruption - sacrifices - vss 12-17
IV. Samuel's robe and priesthood - vss 18-21
III. Ili's sons' corruption - women - vss 22-25
II. Samuel serves and grows - vs 26
I. Prophecy against Eli - vss 27-36
Samuel is pictured as a faithful priest in contrast with Eli's sons, as Jesus is our faithful high priest (Hebrews 2:17), who intercedes for us before Yahweh.

Isn't it amazing how once you know they are there chiasms just jump out at you when you read the text carefully.
An interesting one from the text I preached this Morning appeared as I was prayerfully examining the text.
Romans 3:9-12 (I preached on 3:9-22a)
a: None Righteous
b: No one understands
c: No one seeks God
c1: All have gone wrong
b1: Together they have become worthless
a1: No one does good
