Ep. 51 Cover to Cover Joshua 24-25, Judges, Ruth + 1 Samuel 1-13

Synopsis:A new generation has risen in Israel and shocker of all shockers- they have abandoned the God who rescued them to pursue their own ways. They did what was right in their own eyes believing they could serve both God and "gods." However, we must choose one. Although Judges shows how far we can stray, Ruth and 1 Samuel remind us that God has never forgotten his promise. In this episode you will hear:- First, am I listening to the Shepherd's voice or my own? How do I know if I am? In Judges, the next generation of Israelites abandoned the ways of the Lord taught by Moses and Joshua to follow their own ways. Though we don't like to think so, we are more like them than different. So, how do we learn our Shepherd's voice?- Second, the story of Ruth reminds us that in the chaos of Judges, God had not forgotten his promise. It's a bright spot to see God's faithfulness. Through the love story of Ruth and Boaz will come the world's greatest redemption.- Finally, in Hannah, we are reminded that God meets our greatest needs. While God grants Hannah a baby and even a couple more after Samuel's birth, it wasn't a baby that Hannah so desperately needed, but to know that she wasn't alone in her situation. God saw her and cared for her. Don't we all need that hope?Resources mentioned:- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cover to Cover⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bible Reading Plan⁠⁠Have you gotten your ⁠⁠⁠Anchored⁠⁠⁠ Ticket yet?Coming May 2, 2026 at Horizon Church in Allentown, PA comes a gathering for women unlike any other in the Lehigh Valley.⁠⁠⁠Anchored: in peace⁠⁠⁠ will fill you with encouragement and renewed hope as you worship and learn alongside your sisters in Christ. ⁠⁠⁠Check out the link ⁠⁠⁠for more details and we'll see you in May!Connect with T+S!Are you liking the episodes and want to connect more?
