Last but not least

1 Samuel 16.1-13

Faith adventure Week 4 of 5

In Lent we consider how the Old Testament people’s faith and trust in God is challenged and developed and what this means for us today. Read more about the theme.

 

Last but not least

Samuel is tasked with finding a new king. He makes a surprising choice in the young shepherd boy, David.
A new phase in the life of the people of Israel begins.

This week’s reading, 1 Samuel 16.1-13, provides an opportunity to:

  • continue the journey through Lent together
  • learn to compare God’s vision with human expectation
  • recognise the value of looking deeper.
