The First Kings of Israel

This March, we’ll explore the beginnings of Israel’s kings in 1 Samuel through 1 Kings as part of our commitment to encountering the full breadth of Scripture. We’ll see some key turning points in this early part of Israel’s kingship, which also gives important historical context to prophets like Hosea and Habakkuk. It’s a timely series for our church’s own leadership transition, highlighting both good and flawed leadership, reminding us of God’s gracious care for His people, and pointing us to Jesus—the true and faithful King.
