Sermon goal of 1 Samuel 5–6

1 Samuel 5:1–6:21 (ESV)

1 When the Philistines captured the ark of God, they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.

Your sermon must explain what the holiness of God means for those who do not belong to him (1 Samuel 5:1–12) and those who seek to worship him (1 Samuel 6:1–21). In terms of application, you must focus on what God’s holiness means for Christian worship.
