Course Overview
The Old Testament books of Ruth and 1 and 2 Samuel describe the faith journeys of men and women like us. Sure, they may have been prophets or priests, or kings—but they were also sons and daughters, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers. They struggled in the same ways we do. They experienced deferred hopes and dreams, broken relationships, shameful failures and personal trauma, just as we do. It’s what they did with those disappointments that matters. In this study, you will see people who took their pain and anger to God—and those who did not. And in either case, you will see how God remained faithful.
This study is divided into three six-session courses.
Part 1: The Rise of Israel's Monarchy / Ruth and 1 Samuel: 1-15
Part 2: God Calls a New King / 1 Samuel: 16 through 2 Samuel: 4
Part 3: David's Reign Over Israel / 2 Samuel: 5-24

Janet loves a competitive game of pickleball, having friends over for dinner, and playing the piano for her own enjoyment. She takes great comfort from Romans 8:38-39: “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”Show less
