Many of us grew up hearing the good old stories. Noah's Ark, David and Goliath, and the like. But how do we go beyond those? How do we engage the Bible as adults beyond the Sunday School lessons?
In this week's episode we look at the reign of David from the perspective of his government, structure, and military. We focus our attention on the first part of 2 Samuel. Next week we look more in depth at David, the man.
In this week's episode of Beyond Sunday School we look at 1 Samuel 16-31. This is the time when Saul and David were active together. We see the downfall of Saul and his heartbreaking end.
On Sundays I am teaching through Micah and to really grapple with what Micah's talking about we need to have an understanding of his context. The story of Israel's monarchy brings us that important context. I hope you find it helpful. I am recording these on Wednesday night via Zoom. So you might hear some other voices and a question or two. If you would like to be part of the live recording let me know.
