Each study in the God's Word for Today series provides an in-depth exploration of a book of the Bible. Each session includes: - background information on the book of the Bible, its author, audience, occasion, and purpose - learning experiences that promote exciting and challenging discussions - notes for leaders that answer questions, suggest a learning process, and provide additional information - discussion starters that help participants apply God's Word to their daily lives About God's Word for Today: 1 and 2 Samuel. Spanning the events of just more than 100 years, 1 and 2 Samuel describe a time when Israel rebelled against God, demanding an earthly king to lead her. However, these books also tell the story of how a merciful God intervened to usher in the reign of King David, Israel's greatest king and an ancestor of Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:1-16). In the pages of 1 and 2 Samuel, readers will see how God's last judge, Samuel, applies both Law and Gospel; read about Saul and David, remarkably different individuals but remarkably the same; and rejoice in God's promises made to David that are fulfilled in his descendant and our Savior, Jesus Christ.
