Greetings Group Leaders,
Kingdoms rise and they fall. As we will see, Israel was no exception. What began as a kingdom of great promise was later divided and destroyed. However, God would raise up prophets to point his people to a ruler who would come to set things right. A King whose reign would know no end.
Our discussion this week will observe the establishment of Solomon as king over God's people. In Solomon we see both the promise of God's kingship and the sin that would lead to the downfall of God's people. Though he failed, Solomon and the books of 1 & 2 Kings help point us to our great King, Jesus by seeing how his reign is righteous and perfect.
We hope you're well served by this guide and ensuing discussion.
Gratefully,
Joe and Kaylan
