Raiders and the Ark, Part I: "Ichabod" (1 Samuel 4)
Show Notes

Like Indiana Jones battling the Nazis, today's passage sees the Israelites battling the Philistines.  In both cases, fictional and factual, the action surrounds one small, simple, sacred golden box: the Ark of the Covenant.

The Ark had long been the symbol of the supremacy of the God of Israel.  What does it mean, therefore, if the Ark doesn't bring victory?  Has His glory departed from His people?  What does all this have to do with our little quarantined church community?  And did Chris ever defeat those imaginary Nazis in his backyard?  Answers within.
