1 Samuel

David vs. Goliath: It’s one of the most famous one-on-one battles in human history. However, it is often misunderstood. In this 5-day plan, you’ll learn why this story’s central message is far more profound than a mere call to imitate David’s heroic behavior.

The Man in Between: A 5-Day Plan on David and Goliath

Every man is called by God to embrace his vulnerability and strive for connection; to fight and take ground in the sacred terrain of relationships. David’s life serves as a blueprint for men who urgently need to abandon isolation and the cultural lies of unhealthy individualism. Ten Men is a powerful call to rally toward the brotherhood we were created to experience. These devotions are best shared with other men who also need to be lifted from their loneliness. Let’s embark on this life-changing journey together!

The Essential 100® Bible Challenge–7–The Rise Of Israel

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.
