I SAMUEL. Things don’t look good for Israel. Military attacks threaten from without, and moral corruption destroys from within. But God, in His Grace, will use three men to guide Israel through these crises into the next stage of His plan. Samuel, the prophet who directs Israel’s transition from judgeship to monarchy; Saul, the first king, who epitomizes what God doesn’t want in a leader; and David, the man after God’s own heart. These men remain perfect examples of godliness-and half-hearted commitment-for Christians today. LifeChange Series: Christians have a lifelong goal: to become like Christ.
