During today's conversation on Scripture & Story, we are continuing in our Story of Redemption Series.   Remember, the Bible is one story – one grand narrative. It is God’s story of redemption.   In today’s episode, we pick up the narrative in the book of Judges. God's people have settled in the Promised Land, but they never full conquered it. The generations that followed turned to idolatry, something God had repeatedly warned them not to do. They fell into a cycle of sin and defeat, and then God in His mercy, sent judges to deliver them.   God raised up a prophet to lead the people, but they wanted a king like all the other nations. Although tall and handsome, looking very much the part of a king, Saul failed to lead the Israelites well. So God chose a man after His heart, David, to shepherd the people. David's son Solomon followed him on the throne, and eventually his heart turned away from God. The result? A divided kingdom.   It's a story of failure after failure as God's people prefer the ways of the world over following God. But thankfully the story doesn't end here, however, be warned, it's going to get worse before it gets better.    Click on the link in my bio to access the podcast, and let's meet on the pages of God's Word!   P.S.
