During the time of Samuel, why did the people of Israel desire a king? Why was Saul chosen, and, ultimately, why was he rejected? What attribute did David display that made him a better king than Saul? What sin did Solomon commit that ultimately led to the division of Israel after his death? The elders of the tribes come to Samuel and requested a king. They say that Samuel is too old and his sons are corrupt. They desired a king to “lead them” and to lead them and to go out before them and to

The Book of Ruth Ruth is a story about loyalty, love, and faith. The simple love story is a key to understanding the plan of God for love, and marriage as revealed in the scripture. So simple, yet so powerful when understood, this book is dedicated to the scriptural explanation of

King David- A Man After God’s Own Heart Wisconsin Lutheran College ADU-302 Servant Leadership 08/09/2012 Jason Flejter King David was an extremely influential person in the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic doctrine and will always be considered a pillar in the foundation of all three cultures. King David was known for being “a man after God’s own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14). He has been portrayed as not only a righteous King, but as a shepherd, noble warrior and poet as well. He is accredited with

Contrast the moral and responsible behavior of the Israelites between Judges 16-19 and Ruth 1-4 Even though God’s people are unfaithful to him, he would still be faithful to them. In the book of Judges there are twelve individuals who are considered saviors. They save their own tribes or a number of tribes from these invaders or tribes that were not intended to be in control of Canaan. However, the Israelites allowed them to control those sections of Canaan. Those that delivered the Israelites

God is the creator, sustainer, judge, and redeemer. However, the most important characteristic of God is love. Love is an admirable quality. Genesis is an account of God’s magnificent creations.

For a moment, God’s creation was as He intended; paradise. Man sinned and God became unhappy, but he still provided

This theme develops throughout the three chapters with the disobedience and punishment of David. God creates laws for His children not because he wants to restrict us, but because he desires

Whenever I hear about church leaders who experience moral failures, it sends chills up my spine. I hate to see politicians (who most people expect to fail), and business leaders fall, but the fall of church leaders is particularly troubling. Hearing about the moral failures of church leaders, I would wonder how it could happen. In College we were taught how to protect ourselves from being falsely accused of wrong-doing, along with talking about the importance of walk with God; however, I do not

“1 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones. 2 And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry. 3 And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord God, you know.” 4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says the
