Peaks and Valleys: A Study on the Life of David
Leader:Joy Stemm & Noelle Melton
Day/Time: Fridays 9:15-11:15am
Materials Needed: Peaks and Valleys: A Study on the Life of David
Study Description:
Do you struggle to feel connected to God when life is hard? Do you struggle with connecting difficult Old Testament narratives to the gospel of Jesus Christ? Do you wonder why David’s life is included in the greater story of Scripture?
As Christians, we strive to read the Bible from beginning to end. But it’s easy to feel disconnected from the events and characters in the Old Testament. Do they really point to God, His Son, and salvation? How? David is one of the best examples we have in Scripture to answer that question.
Jesus is called the Son of David, but David was by no means perfect. His life was full of peaks and valleys–highs and lows in every way, both emotionally, physically, and spiritually. But when you learn to see David as a “type and shadow” of Jesus, the light of the gospel shines forth in his story—and enlightens yours as well.
Homework: 20-30 minutes five days a week
