Daily Bible Reading – March 2023, "God’s Saving Word: Prayer"

"Thus far the Lord has helped us." In this Devotional, we will understand what Consecration is, learn to live the Supernatural of God, declare Ebenezer and to not give up on our Promises.

Ebenezer

The book of First Samuel records the story of Hannah, an Israelite woman. Her life circumstances were humiliating and demoralizing. But the Bible pictures her as an exemplary, God-fearing woman. This reading plan takes Hannah’s life story as an example for our own lives. Do read with us!

Hannah: Trusting God With Your Problems

This is part two of a four-part plan to read the books of the Bible that tell of the historical events. Although the Bible contains many stories, it is one story from beginning to end of God’s interactions with humanity. One day per week can be used to catch up on missed readings or for reflection. Notes are also included to assist with understanding.

From Beginning To End - Quarter 2

King David is described in the New Testament as a man after God’s own heart, meaning that he aligned his own heart with that of God’s. As we study David’s life, our goal for this series is to analyze the things David did in 1 & 2 Samuel in order to mold our hearts after God’s and resemble the same intensity of focus and spirit that David showcased throughout his life. 

After God's Own Heart

The book of First Samuel describes Israel’s transition from theocracy to monarchy. God granted the Israelites’ request by asking Samuel, the last judge, to anoint Saul as king while warning them of the cost of a monarchy. Due to Saul’s disobedience, God resolved to replace him with David as the successor. Saul’s life gives us an important spiritual lesson: to obey God is better than to sacrifice for him.

Through the Bible: 1st Samuel

One year can change the entire world, whether in the Bible or in our lives. Hannah’s blessing in the birth of Samuel manifested a miracle that would teach her important lessons in the process. These lessons are crucial for us to learn how to navigate the chaos, irritants, recovery pains, and deeper pains. 1 Samuel teaches us that worldly pain is a righteous pathway to God’s ultimate promise!

The Year That Changed the World

Tales of triumph and tragedy in the books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles. The history of Kings of Israel and Judah is a story of divine faithfulness despite human failure. These flawed rulers point us towards the one true faithful king. Part I covers Saul, David, and Solomon, the three kings of the United Kingdom.
