Always Remember
Posted on January 22, 2026
While Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to engage Israel in battle. But that day the Lord thundered with loud thunder against the Philistines and threw them into such a panic that they were routed before the Israelites. The men of Israel rushed out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, slaughtering them along the way to a point below Beth Kar. Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.”
1 Samuel 7:10-12
When a crisis hits or circumstances don’t go our way, it’s easy to forget God’s faithfulness to us in the past. That’s why faculty member Stephanie Howard encouraged students in high school chapel today to have “Ebenezers” to remind them of what God has done for them.
An Ebenezer, meaning “stone of help,” can take any number of forms: a journal entry, a piece of memorabilia, or a note on a dog-eared page of your Bible. But remembering what God has done is key.
The Lord has been so faithful to Trinity Christian School, and we are so grateful to have many reminders of His faithfulness in our building, in our hearts, and most of all, in our students’ lives.
We’d love to hear your Ebenezer stories! If you’d like to share a testimonial about what God has done through the ministry at TCS or a general praise, please email me at jkelley@tcswv.org. If you prefer not to have it shared publicly, just let us know. Either way, we’d love to rejoice with you at how God is at work in our Warrior Family!
