Take a moment and think about your favorite brands, like Nike, Gucci, Apple, etc. If you saw someone wearing that brand, what would you typically associate with them? Being branded can mean either having a brand name or it can also mean being marked. If anyone in the Bible knows what it is like to be branded, it is David in the Old Testament.

In part two of this six-part saga through 1 and 2 Samuel, we'll make our way through chapters 8-15 as we see the rise and fall of Israel’s first human king: Saul. Discover the dangers of following the crowd, the importance of obedience and faithfulness with the things God has given you, how power and the pressure it comes with can lead to compromise when we’re not walking in step with the Spirit, and what true spiritual leadership in the lives of others looks like.

Help! I Have a Toxic Family!

This reading plan focuses on the life lessons we can learn by following the life of a young shepherd boy named David who was chosen by God to be king of Israel during a dark time in Israel's history.  This boy king would bring about Israel's salvation from her enemies and through his line would bring about salvation for the whole world.  

David: The Boy Who Would Be King

The books of 1 & 2 Samuel tell the stories of three broken heroes used by God to establish a kingdom for His people: Samuel, the revered last judge; Saul, the impressive first king of Israel; and David, the flawed poet-warrior. Beyond the page-turning adventures, battles, and political gamesmanship lies the story of a greater King—the true and forever reigning son of David, Jesus.

Daily Bible Reading is designed to facilitate consistent interaction with the Bible. It includes background information on each day’s Scripture passage and key verse for meditation, reflection questions to help you dive deeper into Scripture, a prayer and prayer concern to help you connect to God and be of spiritual support to others. Journey with us this month as we explore the theme “Sustained by God’s Word of Promise.”

Daily Bible Reading — Sustained by God’s Word of Promise

Picture this: a nation chosen by God; a prophet from an unlikely background to help show God’s ways to His people; a king whose fear and unfaithfulness bring disaster; and a man after God’s own heart who changed the nation of Israel forever. This is a story of God’s reign and rule, Israel’s choices and consequences, and two men’s different responses to God. 

By the end of this study, we pray that you will know God’s voice better, that you will know when and how he speaks, and feel compelled to obey. As we study Scripture, we will discover that God’s plan cannot be thwarted regardless of who is in power. The point of the original monarchy found in 1 and 2 Samuel, illustrates that from the beginning.
