Building an Ebenezer | 1 Samuel 7:1-12

In this special message at Reformation Baptist Church, Pastor John Huffman explores the biblical theme of stones of witness throughout Scripture. From Jacob’s personal encounter with God at Bethel to Samuel’s Ebenezer after victory over the Philistines, the Bible repeatedly calls God’s people to remember His faithfulness. These memorial stones remind believers of God’s promises, miracles, covenant faithfulness, and victories. Pastor Huffman challenges Christians and families today to establish their own “Ebenezers”—spiritual markers that testify to the work of God in their lives and instruct future generations in His faithfulness. Through the stories of Bethel, Gilgal, Shechem, and Ebenezer, this message calls believers to remember what God has done, renew their covenant commitment to Him, and press forward in faith for the glory of Christ. “Till now the Lord has helped us.” – 1 Samuel 7:12
