The 2018-2019 Thursday Night Bible Study will explore the Books of Samuel.
Samuel was a contemporary of King Saul and King David. His parents (Elkanah and Hannah) dedicated Samuel to the Lord, giving him to the priest Eli to be raised in the temple. Samuel is portrayed as the last of the judges and the first of the prophets. Few people in the Bible were as obedient to God as Samuel.
We encourage our Bible Study participant to read the elected chapters before class. Here is a link to 1 Samuel Chapters 1 and 2 that we will study and discuss at our 9/27 class.
