In Paul’s second letter to Timothy, he likens Christians to vessels, “…set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.” Before that, however, he warns us to cleanse ourselves from “dishonorable use.” Essentially, our purification allows us to serve God’s Kingdom well—but what happens when our church leaders don’t? How does God respond when the people we look up to fall into sin? Join us as we explore the tragic story of Eli’s sons, and how they set a poor example for God’s people.
