"The Establishment
of God's Kingdom"

 

“The Establishment of God's Kingdom”
(Joshua, Judges, 1 & 2 Samuel,
and 1 & 2 Kings)

Adult Sunday School, Fall 2011


This course elaborates on how God’s plan to redeem the world from sin and evil continued through Israel’s settlement in the Promised Land, the years of struggle during the period of the Judges, the establishment of the Israelite monarchy, and it subsequent demise unto exile.  During this period of Israel’s history, we will see the development of the significance of the Land, the Temple, and the Kingship, as it prepares us both for Jesus Christ’s and our part in his mission to redeem the world.
