| 0:00.0 | May 29, when God goes against His will. |
| 0:07.3 | But they would not listen to the voice of their father, for it was the will of the Lord to put them to death. |
| 0:16.3 | 1 Samuel 2.25. The sons of Eli, the priest, would not obey their father when he rebuked them for their |
| 0:25.3 | sin. There are three implications of this text for our lives. One, it is possible to sin so long and so grievously that the Lord will not grant repentance. |
| 0:43.3 | That is why Paul said that after all our pleading and teaching, |
| 0:50.3 | God may perhaps grant them repentance, not will grant them repentance, 2. Timothy 2.25. |
| 1:00.8 | There is a too late in the life of sin. As it says of Esau in Hebrews 1217, he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears. |

| 2:06.4 | Listening to the voice of their father was the right thing to do, but they would not. Why? |
| 2:14.8 | For it was the will of the Lord to put them to death. The reason given for why they did not obey their father |
| 2:25.1 | was that God had other purposes for them and had given them up to sinning and death. This shows that there are times |
| 2:37.0 | when the will of God's decree |
| 2:40.0 | is different from the revealed will of God's command. |
| 2:45.0 | Third, sometimes our prayers for God's revealed will to be done will not be done because God has |
