Missing Tribes (1 Chronicles 7)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 7, 2025

Is there a lesson from two missing tribes?

Didn’t all Israel sin? Why are Dan and Zebulun missing? No answer is given, but one warning is clear: Let’s not neglect salvation, lest we too drift away! Let’s look at 1 Chronicles 7.

David Plunders Villages (1 Samuel 27)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 22, 2025

Is the good news about a faulty church or a perfect kingdom? Let's begin in 1 Samuel 27.

Is the Bible different to most history books, in that it tells the good and the bad about its heroes? Is church life similar in that both righteous and evil acts are done?

Saul Strikes Again (1 Samuel 26)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 22, 2025

How do we handle our enemies? Let's begin in 1 Samuel 26.

Where Succession Fails (1 Samuel 2)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Mar 28, 2025

Can someone outside the line of succession be more faithful to God? Let's look at 1 Samuel 2.

Does a list of succession automatically mean faithfulness to God? Do faithful people often come from outside artificial lines of succession? Let’s look at 1 Samuel 2.
