1 Samuel
Beginner Level —8 Lessons
We are excited to introduce our new format!
This Rafiki Bible Study has been beautifully redesigned as a spiral-bound edition with durable covers. Now available as individual copies, this new format is perfect for personal study or group use. Each study includes two introductory lessons (The Chief End of Bible Study: Thinking Right Thoughts about God and What is the Bible about?).
The Rafiki Bible Study on 1 Samuel focuses on God's faithfulness, provision, judgment, and mercy through raising a champion to save his people and crowning a king to point to Jesus, the King of Kings. It highlights how God preserves his people through difficult times because his will cannot be thwarted by unbelief or disobedience. Each lesson includes notes on the text and questions for discussion written and edited by reformed theologians.
The commentary recommended to accompany this study is 1 Samuel by Richard Phillips, sold separately.
