Scripture is a story of redemption made up of sixty-six books. Each of these books, even when they were written over a span of hundreds of years, fit perfectly together in the narrative story about God and man. On of these books, even with only four chapters, connects the structure of the entire Bible so well. It point to the redemption of Israel and the Gentiles, while also carrying out the Abrahamic Covenant; furthermore laying down the foundation for the Davidic Covenant, while ultimately pointing

King David had many sons and daughters. Most of them had tragic deaths or were physically abused. But one of the king’s sons would become the next king of Israel. He would also be the wisest person to ever walk the earth. Although he would have many victories, he would also have a few losses. This remarkable young child was named Solomon. Solomon was the tenth son of David and the second son of Bathsheba. He had only grown up in the palace in Jerusalem, yet at a young age he had much knowledge. He

Many people have their own escapes from reality, whether it be video games, drugs, love, church. Probably like a lot of people, I use music as an escape. However, it isn’t just an escape for me. It is so much more. There is an entire world that one note, much more a universe in one song, if we would just allow ourselves to indulge in such a dimension. In order to introduce others to the experience of extraterrestrial emotions (feelings including peace, tranquility, romance, sorrow, fury, jubilation

The elegance used to in the building of the temple, as described in 1 Kings 6, shows that Solomon also built the temple with the intention to honor Yahweh with the beauty of a permanent home. After David was unable to complete his goal of building a temple for God, Solomon was strongly motivated to complete what his father aspired to.

David and Goliath is the age old story that began numerous tales of the underdog coming out on top and defeating the giant that stands before him. The traditional story involves David, a shepherd boy with no formal training in combat, and Goliath, a Philistine giant who was the most feared and powerful warrior among his camp. In a battle between the two, it is traditionally taught that David faced Goliath with great courage and prevailed over him with just a sling, a stone, and, most importantly

Read Samuel 3. How are these stories similar? How do they differ? In 1 Samuel 1, the Lord called Samuel, a young boy who was studying under the priest Eli. Samuel heard his name being called, which he assumed was coming from Eli. When he went to Eli, he was told to return to bed. Finally, Eli realized that it was the Lord who was calling Samuel, so he told Samuel to listen.
