Summary Of Saul's Life

The heart of the Old Testament second edition is a book written by Ronald Youngblood to show that there really isn’t a difference in the old testament to the new testament. He explains that they should also not be treated any different. Youngblood talks about nine themes from the old testament and supports them with scriptures from the new testament. The themes he speaks on are Monotheism, Covenant, Law, Sovereignty, Theocracy, Sacrifice, Election, Redemption, and Faith.

In order to be a survivor, one must be able to cope well with obstacles and not give up when life starts to get difficult. By examining Richard Wagamese’s book, Indian Horse, it is obvious that Saul is a survivor. Saul Indian Horse, the main character in the novel Indian Horse, proves what it takes to be a true survivor based on his personality traits, how he deals with conflicts and his sense of resiliency. Firstly, in the novel Indian Horse, Saul’s smart nature shows he is a survivor when he chooses to reveal himself as a boy that is void of feeling while at the residential school.

Daniel’s Story the book Daniels story is about a fourteen year old boy that starts out on a train with his parents he doesn't know why he has to move but he has a album full of pictures. A lot of those pictures were from around eight years ago in the book when he was with his family celebrating his sixth birthday. His mother didn’t like to look back on those days because it made her feel very sad. Daniel had to keep all those pictures because they all mean so much to him he’s carried them all up and saved all the pictures from every exciting moment and every devastating moment and every birthday party he’s ever had with his parents and other family. He’s saved every picture all the way up until he was fourteen. Daniel also has a lot of other albums and bunches of pictures and some were of

King David and King Saul were the first and second kings of Israel. They are mentioned in first and second Samuel. The book of Samuel starts out with the people want a King because all, the other nations have a King. God doesn't want any Kings because they already have him as their ruler. Then Samuel tells Israel of all the bad things that would happen if they get a King. These things are later examined to be the exact things that King Saul did. Then he says of the good things about having a King and those describe King David. They are very different kings but both kings of Israel. Here are how they are so different.

In the end, Saul was caught and convicted because

Tullock begins chapter eight by discussing Rehoboam’s reign and the other kings of Judah. Considered to be unsuccessful, Rehoboam is known for dealing with the revolt of Israel and facing issues with the Shishak of Egypt. Abijam and Asa of Judah have been depicted as father and son and also brother by interpretations found in 1 Kings 15. 2 Chronicles clears some confusion by altering Abijam’s name to Abijah, and Abijah is known for military skill and capturing Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephron. Asa is known for religious reform and military successes such as capturing the cities of Dan and Hazor. Jehoshaphat’s reign is considered positive and peaceful due to the alliance formed between Jehoshaphat and Ahab. This alliance was confirmed when Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram and

Early Christians went through a series of suffering and misery. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ made the Christians imitate for what he has done for them by accepting martyrdom. For the Christians, accepting death in the name of Jesus Christ is no more than a high privilege. Following the death and resurrection of Jesus, most early Christians are about to become victims of persecution.

I think Saul/Paul is the main character in the book of Acts. I know of no other person, other than Jesus himself, which shaped the history of Christianity like Paul did. Paul was transformed by God from a Pharisee and tent maker, a persecutor of Christians, and prior to his conversion on the road to Damascus, to a preacher for Christ.

Paul wanted me to sit in his office with him today as he prepped for today’s sermon but I just couldn’t. I made the decision to drive myself and my boys into church today in my own car. I then retreated to my own office at the church which was literally less than twenty steps from his and I wanted to concentrate on making sure that my mind, heart, and soul was concentrated on only one person and that was God.

Saul persecuted many Christians, taking them prisoner and even murdering them simply because of their faith. In fact, the purpose of his trip in this passage was to imprison Christians in Damascus and bring them back to Jerusalem. Luckily, Saul’s mission was interrupted when God confronted Saul and eventually converts him. This portion of the chapter stood out to me because of the irony I saw in God’s way of converting Saul. Why would God choose to blind Saul so that Saul can see God? Personally I tend to equate sight with clarity, but in this situation, God does the complete opposite and blinds Saul in order to give him the clarity he needs to see God. After thinking about it a little but harder I came up with a couple possible explanations.

When given opportunities to assassinate King Saul, David refuses, knowing that the throne is not his to take. It is God's to give. As the Psalms express it, “It is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another” (Psalm 75:7). David respects the authority God has given Saul even when Saul acts in dishonorable ways. This seems like a lesson for those today who work for difficult bosses or are waiting to be acknowledged for their leadership. Even if we sense we are called by God to a particular task or position, this does not authorize us to grasp power by contravening the existing authorities. If everyone who thought God wanted them to be the boss tried to hasten the process by seizing power on their own, every succession

Saul was a murderous, evil man whom wanted nothing more than to see all Christians rot away and perish. He wanted nothing to do with the faith because he thought it was a lie. Saul was there when Stephen was stoned to give approval of his death. Saul was on his way to take prisoners back to Jerusalem from Damascus, when the presence of God came upon him. Saul could not see once the Lord had spoken to him. He had his men take him to Damascus, and Saul fasted for 3 days. The 3 days is important because God was working in him, making his eyes right. Making the lamp to the soul clean. God had to do this, so that Saul could be made clean and be prepared for the Holy Spirit to enter his body. A disciple named Ananias to come and meet Saul in the

How is the book of Ecclesiastes and the character of Solomon used in this chapter as expressions of despair?

Jonah (The Book of) Jonah is a book of the Bible written by the Johan himself approximately 785-760 BC. (BibleGateway, n.d.) This book of the Bible has only four chapters in it and it is fixed in the Bible after the book of Obadiah and before Nahum. In the four short chapters for this book of the Bible Johan goes from turning his back on the Lord, going back to the Lord, the once again questioning the Lord. The first chapter shows Jonah’s defiance of the Lord. The Lord asked Jonah to go Nineveh and announce the Lord’s judgement. But Jonah turned and went the other direction away from the Lord. (Johan 1:3) Then while on the ship getting away from Nineveh Jonah is swallowed by a whale. In Chapter 2 Jonah was inside the whale and he starts to pray again to the Lord, telling him that even though he is in the situation he is in, he will still turn to the Lord always. So, the Lord commands the whale to sit Jonah out. (Jonah 2:10) The third chapter explains how Jonah is asked by the Lord to proclaim his message of judgement on Nineveh, Jonah did as the Lord instructed. The people off Nineveh changing their ways and the judgement was spared by the Lord. Chapter four of Jonah explains how Jonah becomes angry with the Lord because he does not believe the Lord should have been so gracious with the people of Nineveh. Jonah believed that they should not have been spared. (Jonah 4:1-2). Even though this is a short book it has a major theme to it, the Lord’s compassion for
