In the waning days of the Judges, Israel found herself in dire straits. A corrupt priesthood. An apathetic people. Foreign threats. Domestic strife. The children of Abraham teetered on the brink of destruction. But out of this fog of despair, God raised up three unlikely leaders: a formidable prophet named Samuel, a timid farmer named Saul, and a brave shepherd boy named David. Together, these three anointed ones transformed Israel from a dysfunctional tribal confederacy into a regional dynasty. 1 Samuel from Start2Finish is a 13-lesson adventure through this Old Testament book and will help Bible classes or small groups discover important lessons from the lives of Samuel, Saul, and David. In the process, important principles such as the proper use of power, the importance of faith, and God's sovereign control of history will be affirmed.
