Season 9 Episode 8 | Prophets, Shepherds, Poets and Kings | 1 Samuel 9-10

from The Outspoken Bible · host Scottish Bible Society

Prophets, Shepherds, Poets and Kings is a series delving into the history of the people of God found in 1 and 2 Samuel. Beginning with a longed for baby, leading to a cry for a king and the establishment and dissolution of a kingdom, the series will focus on the lives of Samuel, Saul and David. The story continues in 1 Samuel 9-10 with the calling of Saul, a man who on first look appears to be the perfect choice to be king. We explore calling, gifting and the importance of trusting in God.  There are segments to enjoy including the reading of the passage, 'The Cloud' and 'What Now?'.
