Unit 3
Having conquered and settled the Promised Land, the Israelites desperately need someone to lead them. Now that Moses, Aaron, and Joshua are gone, the leadership vacuum plunges the Israelites into repeated cycles of sin and repentance.
In these “cycles of the judges,” the people fall into sin, God sends a judge to rule over them, the judge guides the people to repentance and provides rescue, and the people fall into sin again. God used the faithful judges—both men and women—to rule over His people for their good.
After living under judges for many years, the people demand a king so they can be like the nations that surround them. God sends Samuel to warn the people against this plan, but they are determined to have a king ruling over them.
Not surprisingly, the first three kings of Israel—Saul, David, and Solomon—have moments of greatness and moments of great weakness. Each of these kings started out ruling faithfully, but along the way, each lost sight of God’s will and direction. Eventually, their reigns ended because they allowed sin and unfaithfulness to rule their lives. Even David, a man after God’s own heart, brought great trouble on his kingdom and family because of his sin.
Students face the same challenges. When at school, they have a support network of Christian adults and peers to help keep them focused on the Lord. But the sinful world around them desires to tear them away from their Lord and Savior. As a parent, you can provide your children with the skills and tools they need to keep Christ as ruler in their live
