• Thompson preaches on the failure of Christian leaders, based on 1 Samuel 2:12-36. The passage portrays the failure of Israel's religious leadership with key moral failure and abscondence from proper religious observance. Out of contempt for God, the sons of Eli committed great sin and evil. Ultimately, God sees, God acts, and God judges. Hannah and Samuel's faithful observance to God stands in direct contrast to Hophni and Phinehas. Eli's response to Hophni and Phinehas was weak-willed and indecisive. In the end, Eli is complicit with the sins of his sons. The unnamed man of God is used by God to rebuke Eli, Hophni, and Phinehas. The word of the man displays the importance God placed upon the sacrifices and ministry conducted at Shiloh. Thompson warns listeners that God places great responsibility upon the truth of the Gospel and proper care for it by ministry leaders. Finally, the failure of priestly ministers did not thwart the plans and purposes of God.
