The Bible's Meta-Narrative
- The Bible's meta-narrative is a unified story of God's plan to restore a fractured relationship with humanity.
- God's plan was in place even before the relationship was broken through sin.
Israel's Journey and Leadership
- God chose Abraham and the Israelites, who, despite their sin, received blessings but also faced consequences like slavery in Egypt.
- God used leaders like Moses and Joshua to guide them, but the Israelites repeatedly forgot God, leading to disobedience.
Kings of Israel
- God granted Israel's request for a king, starting with Saul, whose fear led to poor decisions, followed by David, a flawed but favored king.
- Solomon, though wise, struggled with idolatry, yet he built the first temple where God dwelled among His people.
