Message: The problem with the ark Text: 1 Samuel 5 1..The Covenant of the Law (Moses , Mt Sinai) was destined to come to an end. 2..It is not a New Testament teaching..Even the Old Testament taught it in diverse ways. 3..The Law anticipated its own retirement and succession by something greater and better. 4..God taught and rehearsed this truth by the story of Eli and his family...He killed them, but promised to raise a better and higher faithful priest .. 5..In other words, the Lord Jesus is God's preferred Priest and higher Law giver (Moses being inferior). 6..The death of Eli 's sons happened on the battlefield fighting the Philistines. 7..The Ark was captured and that caused a cascade of events (death of Eli and his daughter in law).. 8...The Philistines took the ark and brought it to their territory , to their idol , Dagon as a spoil of war.. 9.The Ark began to cause trouble, first for Dagon and then for the Philistines... 10..It started killing people with pestilence..But what was in the Ark that was killing people? 11..It is the Law, the 2 tablets of stone...the Ten Commandments , the letter that kills... 12..Listen for context...It is FREE!
