Biblical Story Workshop: Session 5

Aug 1, 2026    Justin Franchino, Ross Skjold

In this session, Justin and Ross trace the rise of Israel’s monarchy through the reigns of Saul, David, and Solomon. We look at the successes and failures of Israel’s first three kings, the establishment of Jerusalem and the Temple, and God’s covenant with David. Along the way, we explore major themes of kingship, rest, God’s presence, and the growing hope for a better King who would one day perfectly lead God’s people.
