1Samuel 6:20

This week, we will explore the book of 1 Samuel, engaging the transition of Israel from the age of judges to the age of kings. We will spend two days with each of the main characters—Samuel, Saul, and David—seeing both things to emulate and things to avoid as men of God.

We often take God’s holiness for granted. It is our prayer, therefore, that this 10-Day Plan will remind us of the uncompromising holiness of God as we take a gospel view of the holiness of God in I Samuel 6:1- 7:2 to reflect on how the atonement of our sins by Christ calls us to daily approach God with acceptable worship. This study is adapted, with his permission, from a sermon preached by Rev. John Musyimi at North Point Baptist Church in Nairobi, Kenya, on March 22nd, 2026.

This reading plan will introduce you to the book of Samuel, including why and under what circumstances the book was written and how it applies to Christians today.

In part one of this epic six-part saga through 1 and 2 Samuel, we'll read through chapters 1-7 and explore the birth of Samuel, his rise to becoming the last judge and first prophet of Israel, the early battles between Israel and the Philistines, and why passing on your faith to the next generation is so important.
