2 Samuel: The Fall and Rise of the King

This six-session Bible study by Tim Chester on 2 Samuel will take you into the story of the rise, fall and rise of King David, Israel's greatest king. It is also the story of the rule, forgiveness and promise of Israel's God. And as we look at David, we see shadows of Israel's greatest King: his descendant, Christ Jesus.

These six studies will bring this part of the Old Testament alive for small groups, showing them the joy of living under the loving rule of the ultimate Shepherd King.

Each session will draw you to look closely at the Bible text and apply it meaningfully to your everyday life. The guide includes questions that open up discussion, optional personal reflections and a concise Leader’s Guide.

Flexible and easy to use, Good Book Guides are perfect for both groups and individuals.
