April – No complicated content, just a monthly chronological journey through the Bible. The Bible isn’t arranged in the order events happened; it’s organized by genre. April moves from the chaos at the end of Judges into the hope of Ruth and the rise of Israel’s kings in 1 Samuel and early 2 Samuel. You’ll see God working through faithfulness and failure, raising leaders, shaping a nation, and remaining present even when His people struggle. Along the way, this month highlights God’s patience, His sovereign plan, and His steady movement toward redemption despite human weakness.

1 Samuel charts the rise and fall of several of Israel’s leaders. You’ll meet the notoriously arrogant king Saul and see the ascent of the man after God’s own heart – David. You’ll read of dangerous battles, murder plots, giants and even more surprises in this book.  You’ll see that despite turbulence in leadership, seemingly strong enemies and spiritual decay God is very much at work orchestrating the fall of the proud and the rise of the humble. What an encouragement for us today when we are faced with challenges not too dissimilar to these!
