1 Samuel

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

1 Samuel records the transition from the time of the Judges to the time of the monarchy. Although they were both selected by God and anointed by Samuel to be king, the divergent paths of King Saul and King David demonstrate that faithfulness and obedience to God are far more important than title or position.

Anointed: A Study in 1 Samuel

In this devotional, we'll explore chapters 16-31 as we meet a young shepherd boy named David. A man after God’s heart, watch David be chosen by God to become the next king of Israel, defeat a giant, and be relentlessly pursued by the jealous, mad king David would succeed. Learn about friendship, faith, and faithfulness. Discover how to resist the temptation for vengeance against someone who has wronged you, and how to find strength in the Lord even in the lowest moments in life.

Bible Yearly Plan for May

In life’s difficult moments, we find refuge when we remember that the God we serve fights our battles alongside us. In this five-day plan focusing on David's battle with Goliath, speaker and chaplain Jonathan Evans shows how you can face every hardship with strength and hope, confident that God will always use your trials for His glory. 

Fighting Your Battles

Browse the Bible Study section at any Christian bookseller or website, and you will see plenty of Bible studies on the heroes of the faith: Moses, David, Deborah, Paul, and so on. What about the terrible, most evil people in the Scriptures? Why are there no Bible studies written about them? Studying them will allow us to understand God’s sovereignty better: He uses the “good guys” and the “bad guys” of Scripture to accomplish His perfect will. This study will examine one of those bad guys: King Saul, the King of Excuses.

Saul: King of Excuses

Do you remember nagging your parents for something until they eventually gave in? How many times did you end up disappointed with the result? The same thing happened to the Israelites when they demanded a king. In this Plan, we will explore why God became so angry at their insistence and whether some of our prayer requests may still offend God in the same way today.


If Only We Had a King

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.
