Bible 101 Part 4

David, Solomon and the Temple: 1 Samuel 8-10, 2 Samuel 2 and 11, 1 Kings 6

 

The fourth part of our teaching series, Bible 101, taking a journey through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Tonight's session is lead by Neil Watson.

 

At the end of each session there are a number of questions for discussion and these are reproduced below:

1.What can we learn about Saul’s experience of letting jealousy get in the way of leading our people and ourselves well? What things get in our way of treating people the way God wants us to?

2.How do we feel about situations like David’s desire to build a permanent Temple, where we have a strong desire to see something become a reality but never do? (We plant seeds but might never reap the harvest!)

3.Each of the kings started well, had great tools at their disposal, but ultimately fell short. How do we not only start well but continue to remain faithful in our pursuit of becoming more like Jesus every day?
