If You Could Hie To Kolob

King David's downfall and the rise and fall of King Solomon.

Today we talk about how David’s victory over Goliath was just the beginning. In this episode, we follow David's journey from a national hero to a hunted man, exploring the powerful lessons of faith and loyalty.

We examine Israel's demand for a king, despite the Lord being their true King, and the calling and anointing of Saul as Israel's first king. We also look at Saul's early reign, his failure to fully obey God's commandments, and the consequences of choosing his own will over the Lord's. Finally, we follow the prophet Samuel as he is sent to Bethlehem to anoint a young shepherd named David, the man whom God had chosen to lead His people. These chapters teach powerful lessons about faith, obedience, humility, and the importance of having a heart that follows God.

At first glance, the Book of Ruth reads like a beautifully crafted ancient short story. But beneath the surface lies a profound theological masterclass that shifts the entire trajectory of biblical history. Coupled with Samuels rise to power this weeks Come Follow Me shines light in what has been a dark period of history.

In this video, we tackle the major highlights of Judges 2-4, 6-8, and 13-16. From Deborah's fierce leadership and Gideon's tiny army at the spring, to Samson's final, dramatic stand against the pillars of the Philistine temple, we look at the raw, unfiltered stories of Israel's deliverers.

Joshua is taking over to lead Israel into the promised land. We’re talking about what it actually means when God tells him to "be strong and of a good courage," the story of crossing the Jordan, what really happened at Jericho, and the big mistake at Ai. We also finish up with Joshua’s final speech where he tells everyone, "Choose you this day whom ye will serve."
