Prepare Your Heart

Welcome to Samuel: The Cost of Pride vs Humble Obedience. Before you journey through the books of Samuel, watch the short overview video below. The books of 1 & 2 Samuel narrate the beginning of Israel's monarchy with the rise and fall of King Saul and King David. The true King of Israel will humbly listen to God's word, and God's Kingdom will be established in humility, not pride. But both Saul and David fail to be this humble King and fail to build the nation God desires. It is only Jesus who humbly listens to the voice of God. It is only Jesus who establishes a nation of humility. And it is only Jesus who can cause every proud king to bow.

Reflect

Next, we invite you to read a central part of the books of Samuel. 2 Samuel 7:1-17 shows us that God's answer to David’s desire to honor Him is an even greater promise—a covenant that one of David’s descendants will establish a Kingdom that will last forever. This passage reminds us that God’s Kingdom doesn’t come through human effort or political force, but through His grace, and it sets the stage for Jesus—the humble, obedient King whose eternal throne fulfills this promise.

What's Next?

Each day of this reading plan you will watch a short video that walks you through the books of Samuel, showing how the failures of human kings create longing for Jesus—the King who listens, obeys, suffers, and saves. Through him, God humbles the proud, lifts the lowly, and builds a Kingdom that lasts forever.

Each day, you will see the same three things:

1.What’s Happening?

This section explains what is going on in the text.

2.Where is the Gospel?

This section shows how this story ultimately points to Jesus and his Gospel.

3.A Time of Prayer

This is a short prayer meant to propel you into Scripture to see the good news of Jesus for yourself.

We hope this journey transforms you. Our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would open your eyes to see the beauty of Jesus in all of Scripture.

This 20-day plan will walk you through the books of Samuel by reading a short passage daily. Each day is accompanied by a short video that explains what you're reading and how it's all about Jesus. In this plan, you'll learn that God opposes the proud but lifts up the humble. From Hannah’s song to David’s rise and Saul’s fall, we see God repeatedly choosing the humble and rejecting the self-serving - ultimately pointing to Jesus as the true and better King who listens to the Father, defeats our enemies, and reigns with justice and mercy.
