I. GOD’S MESSAGE
“
So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; it shall not return to me void, but shall do my will,
achieving the end for which I sent it.” – Isaiah 55:11
II. EXPOSITION
In studying Salvation History, it is a reality that one cannot separate from theWord of God written
in the Bible. Although the Bible itself is not a major source of historical facts, these facts would be the
major source in studying Salvation History. This is in view of the reality that the revealed truths of the
Christian faith are inscribed in them.
Considering that salvation came through as a promise of God right after the “fall of man”, the first
part of the study deals with the stories received and transmitted by the Sacred Tradition and also inscribed
in the Sacred Scriptures. Thus the first discussions tackle the narratives of Creation, the fall, the Great
Flood, and the Tower of Babel.
History itself is presented beginning on the Patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Through
archaeological discoveries and geographic interrelations, the places determined by the Sacred Scriptures
are presented.
All throughout the reports on Moses and the Judges, there is a presentation of the necessary
information concerning the settlement of the chosen people in Canaan/Palestine/Israel. The discussions on
the first kings of Israel present the importance of the three aspects of the Christian life, i.e., the kingly,
the prophetic, and the priestlyduties. These duties are in line with the historical existence of the kings,
prophets, and the high priests governing the circumstances of the time.
Then, the Kingdom of David is divided into two: the Kingdom of Israel in the northern part and the
Kingdom of Judah in the southern part.Along with the presentation of their respective kings, prophets,
and high priests, the ancient empires that threatened the existence of the chosen people of God are
identified to determine the political cause of the downfall of both kingdoms in their own historic content.
2| P age
Thus, presented are the empires of Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome as they grew and
diminished as Superpowers during their respective periods, flexing their power and might to rule the
ancient world and eventually dissolving.
History has been kind in manifesting the fulfilment of the promises uttered and proclaimed in the
past. Centering on the great promise of God inscribed in Genesis 3:15, the study end in the fulfilment of
this promise – the birth of Jesus Christ.
Furthermore, it is very important to take a look of the Bible texts in every lesson to facilitate
encounter with the Word of God. It is learning by reading the Bible. And the whole idea is to develop the
love of searching for and knowing God by reading biblical passages that contain the truth on which belief
rests. Thus, as one grasps the Word of God, he/she opens up to the encounter with the Word. It is an
“encounter” which Pope Francis describes in his encyclical, EvangeliiGaudium, as the meeting of self and
the Word that produces meaningful experience with God. Such an experience would lead us to proclaim
the Good News of God’s love and mercy with joy. And we are to change the world by first changing our
own selves, changing our own visions, and as an effect, giving hope to the dwindling society.
III. POINTS FOR REFLECTION
1. Why encounter with the word of God is necessary as a student of Salvation History?
IV. INTEGRATION
Learner’s Activity
Creed/Aral:
1. Why there is salvation? Why it becomes a history?
The view of history as found in the Bible is called salvation history because the events that as
recounted in the Bible are regarded in it is as God’s acts for the salvation of the world.
Code/Asal:
Read a particular chapter of the book of Psalms in your personal Bible or in your Bible App. Write
the favorite verse below and your realizations in your encounter with the Word of God. Express how God is
really a God of salvation. You are going to recite next meeting your favorite verse and explain why.
Ex. Psalm 64
Favorite verse: All the righteous people will rejoice because of what the Lord has done.
Realizations: (May vary based on your experience/s)
Cult/Dasal:
Write a prayer asking for guidance to read and know the Bible by heart.
O Lord, my God, help me to trust you with my decisions and my future. Let me lean on you
with all my heart instead of relying on my own imperfect understanding. Give me
clear guidance in my life, Lord. As I submit myself to you, I know that you will direct my paths
and I can have confidence that your direction is always the best way to go. Hear my prayer,
Father.

INTRODUCTION:
Salvation history is “the story of human beings and their world seen as a drama of redemption running from
creation to the Parousia and finding its center in Christ” (A Concise Dictionary of Theology, p. 234).
We begin our discovery of our Christian roots by getting acquainted with a major source of our Christian
Faith—the Bible. The Bible is the God—inspired basis for all that has been said and will ever be said by Christians
about God because the Bible itself is the Living the Word of God. Christian Life is based on the conviction that God
has spoken to us through WORDS and DEEDS.
I. GOD’S MESSAGE
“
Both what is still hidden and what has already concern us and our descendants forever, that we may carry out
all the words of this law.” – Deuteronomy 29:28
II. EXPOSITION
Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation (Dei Verbum), No. 11
1. Inspiration and Truth in the Bible
 God is the author of the Sacred Scriptures. The divined revealed realities, which are contained and
presented in the text of the Sacred Scriptures/Bible have been written down under the inspiration of
the Holy Spirit.
 God inspired the HUMAN AUTHORS of the sacred books.
 Inspiration of the Bible refers to " the extraordinary impulse and guidanceof the Holy Spirit through
which the books of the scripture were composed and so theycan be called the Word of God (cf. Jn
20:31; 2 Tim 3:16; 2 Pt 1:19-21; 3:15-16; Jer 18:18; Neh 8:1. What God had to say is found in what was said
by the human writers, who were genuine authors and not mere stenographers copying down what
God dictated " (A Concise Dictionary of Theology, p. 121). It only means that God is the principal
author, and the human authors became His instruments in the process of writing; thus there are
differences in the styles in which the books were written.
2. They are God’s intelligent

1. They are many. and free instruments.
3. They are some Human Authors 4. They were writers, poets, prophets,
“special people”. of the Bible compilers, redactors, and editor.
5. They were given by God the ability 6. They were inspired by God to interpret events, and
to “see” the meaning of events and to to share their insights with other people through their
“know the mind of God”. preaching and writing.
2| P age
 Pope Leo XIII’s encyclical (1893) explained the nature of the written inspiration of the Bible. “He
(God) so moved and impelled them (human authors) to write – He so assisted them when writing –
that the things which He ordered, and they first understood, then wiled faithfully to write down, and
finally expressed in apt words and with infallible truth. (Providentissimus Deus)
 The Sacred Scriptures contain the Word of God and, because they are inspired they are truly the
Word of God (DV 24). God is the author of the Sacred Scripture because He inspired its human
authors; He acts in them and by means of them. He thus gives assurance that their writings teach His
saving truth without error (DV 11).
ACTIVITY #1
POINTS FOR REFLECTION:

Instruction: Reflect and answer briefly the following questions below. Write your answer on the space provided.
1. What is your favorite Bible story? What do you like about it?
Job’s story. Because even though he have lost everything he didn’t condemn God, he trusted and remained faithful
even though the evil tempted him with everything. He remained good to God throughout his testing’s.
2. Are those events truly the word of God? Explain.

Yes, because God is the author of the Sacred Scripture because He inspired its human authors; He acts in them and by
means of them.

Church as divinely inspired Aside from “rule” it also came to mean a “list”.
 Canonicity – refers to the list of books accepted by the Church to be inspired and to contain a rule of faith and
morals. Any book in this list is a canonical book.
 It was because of the apostolic tradition that the Church discerned which writings are to be included in the list of
the sacred books. This complete list is called the canon of Scripture. It includes 46 books for the OT and 27 for
the NT.

Inerrant Saving Truth
 The Catechism for Filipino Catholics (CFC) is very emphatic in saying that the Bible contains no error
since it teaches that truth which God, for the sake of our salvation, which to see confided to the
Sacred Scriptures (89). When the Bible is used properly, it imparts saving truth that can be relied
upon to bring us into deeper communion with God.
 The Church forcefully and specifically exhorts all Christian faithful…to learn ‘the surpassing
knowledge of Christ’, by frequently reading the divine Scriptures. St. Jerome once said that
‘ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ’.
The Relationship between Tradition and Sacred Scripture
2| P age
 “Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture are bound closely together, and communicate one with the
other. For both of them, flowing out from the same divine well-spring, came together to form one
thing, and move towards the same goal.”
 “Sacred Scripture is the speech of God as it is put down in writing under the breath of the Holy
Spirit.”
 Holy Tradition transmits in its entirety the Word of God which has been entrusted to the apostles by
Christ the Lord and the Holy Spirit. It is transmitted to the successors of the apostles so that,
enlightened by the Spirit of truth, they may faithfully preserve, expound and spread it abroad by
their preaching.
ACTIVITY # 3
Instruction: Reflect and answer briefly the following questions below.
Creed/Aral:
1. God must have some reasons why He inspired the human authors to write the Bible. Can you
name some?
Jeremiah, Lemuel, Ezekiel, and Bart D. Erhman
2. In five sentences, write your own understanding of the Bible as the Word of God.
As we all know, Bible is a holy book which contain the words of God. It is made to help us be a good
person in the eyes of God and His creations. There are circumstances when we can’t distinguish
right from wrong things, thus it will help see the good things and know the right things. It is the
light of our path. A Holy Book that could keep us in the right path.
Code/Asal:
BIBLE INTERVIEW. Interview two adult Christians. Ask them what they think about the Bible. Write a
brief report on each interview.

Occupation: Collage Student
This person thinks the Bible is …
“What I think about the Christian Bible is that Jesus is the only one who can save us away from sins.
He is our salvation. Religion can’t save you, your faith to him can. Reading Bible can change lives.”
2. Name of second interviewee: Copernicus Genilla
Occupation: Student
This person thinks the Bible is …

The Bible is not a book. It is a divine mercy. I thought of it as the foundation of my theological
knowledge. Perhaps, a part of me knows that some of the personality I show to the people around
was merely influenced by it. Many have misunderstood the context of it simply because they grew in
different surroundings with different religious beliefs. Days after days, I realized that the Bible is no
longer a book, but a divine entity, whatever that means. After all, it is not the Bible that matters, but
the one’s way into reading it and how they comprehend the message behind every text.
3. Base on the interview you have gathered, would you agree that the Bible is truly the word of God?
Yes
Cult/Dasal:
2| P age
Write your prayer of commitment to read the Bible for at least 15 minutes daily.
Dear God, help me to be a better Christian. Help me to live a life that is pleasing to you. May you strengthen my
faith and bless my life. Amen.

(Instruction: Students please read and understand.)
Everything in this world exists for a purpose. Sometimes we ask too many questions about life’s ups
and downs and still we are not satisfied with the answers. We even blame God for the troubles that come into
our life without even thanking Him for the good things that happened in our life. But looking at the events
that happened in the past we can understand how God lets things come in their own way.
Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation (Dei Verbum), No. 11
 The Biblical scholars or writers might not have the slightest idea that later their works would be
read, studied, prayed over and lived by the generations next to them. But they surely knew that
what they were writing were very useful for the community to whom they addressed them.
 The Bible itself states its purpose in 2 timothy 3:15-17
“Likewise, from your infancy you have known the sacred Scriptures, the
source of wisdom which through faith in Jesus Christ leads to salvation. All scripture is inspired by God
and is useful for teaching – for reproof, correction, and training in holiness so that the man of God may
be fully competent and equipped for every good work. “
 (Dei Verbum), 11
The primary purpose of the Bible is salvation. This means that our purpose in approaching
the Bible is to find the truth and not to prove a case about which we have already made up our
mind. We can easily use the Bible to find what we want. We can use it as an arsenal of proofs to
defend our way of living. In this case, not even God can teach us to come to the Bible when our
minds are all made up.
 We have to take this truth in our heart. Therefore, we have to find time to read it at any cost.
 The Constitution of the Church on the Word of God (Dei Verbum) teaches us about the force ad
power of the Word of God. That it can serve the Church as her support and vigor, and the children of
the Church as strength for their faith, food for the soul, and a pure and lasting fount of spiritual life.
Hence, access to the Sacred Scripture ought to be open wide to the Christian faithful.
 Sacred Scripture in the Life of the Church
We should try to avoid the danger of making this doctrine about the Bible as the Word of God being
left behind in our daily living and remain only as the head knowledge. God is touching us, calling us
to relate to Him in thought, word, and deed. It is in through our daily life-experiences – our
everyday dealings in family, work and creation – as well as in prayer and the Sacraments that God
is close to us.

Code/Asal:
Purchase a personal Bible or install a Bible App in your phone. Try to read at least one passage of your
choice. Then, answer the following questions:
1. How important is the Bible to you?
The Bible is the most important role in life, the Bible shows us God’s character and provides us God’s
revelation of himself to his people. It’s an amazingly detailed and well-preserved picture of an ancient
culture. The Bible can help us understand who we are based on the descriptions and stories of people who
lived two to four millennia ago.
2. How often do you read the Bible? Why?

I don’t really read the Bible, I stopped reading it since my mental health started.
2. Do you also try to encourage other people to read the Bible?
Yes, even though I don’t read the Bible I still encourage some of my friends to read the Bible.
Cult/Dasal: Praying the Message
Read Hebrews 6:4-5. Pray over with the verse. Then write a short reflection about it in the box
below.
My reflection about the verse of Hebrews 6:4-5 is that it has a good note to introduce this most controversial
section of Scripture which has caused many believers considerable distress. It is unfortunate that some believers
struggle and agonize under the misconception that, although they desire to walk with God, they have regressed
beyond some “point of no return” and can never again walk in fellowship with Him. If you have a heartfelt longing
to live for Jesus Christ that desire alone shows that your heart has not been hardened to Him! All that remains is
for you to turn to Him in commitment and submission, and to resume your progress toward maturity.

Cult/Dasal: Praises God for the wonder of His creation
INTRODUCTION:
Everything has a beginning. Your life, your school, the earth and even the universe itself originated at some
time and place. Genesis, the first book of the Bible, tells of beginnings. In it, we find the Creation narratives that
show us the truth that everything in the universe, including human beings comes from God. He has created us in His
image and likeness and has called us to a life of friendship with Him. This truth is foundational tour Christian faith.
We hope that this truth that Genesis teaches makes a difference in the manner we live our lives.

7th Day: Celebrating (God Rest)
3. SCRIPTURAL MEANING
 “God said… and so it was.” – God does so through a simple word of command. This ease which he make all
thing is a sign of God’s great power.
 “Evening came, morning came.” – God separates “light” from the sun and moon to show that God alone (and
not the sun and the moon) is to be thanked for the gift of light. The writer also pictures/d the sun and moon
(called ‘lamps”) as being the mere servants of man, as calendar and clocks, rather than the lords of man.
 “Let us make man in our image.” – The sacred author speaks here of all mankind as being in the image of God;
he clearly states the quality of male and female. The Hebrew word for image is “selem” which refers to a
duplicate, like a statue. What is important is not so much WHAT the image is, rather WHY mankind is created
in the image of God.
 “let them be masters” – man functions in the universe a steward; he rules in the place and in the name of God.
There is further purpose: because he is the image of God, mankind – unlike any of the other animals – is able
to have a personal relationship with God.
 “image” – refers to the whole, living, human being and not just a part of him. God’s image refers to his
intellect and will. The purpose of being an image is to stand for God and to relate with God.
“in the likeness of ourselves – means appearance and similarity. It indicates resemblance without stressing
tangible similarity.
 “Let us”- can be a plural or majesty. It expresses a kind of deliberation between God and the heavenly court
(angels).
 “Be fruitful and multiply.” – Sexuality is being viewed as a blessing from God; its purpose is clear, fertility. In
the mind of the author: children are blessing. Mankind is good, therefore children are good gifts from the
Lord.
 Food. In the concept of harmony, no living thing (man and animals) should have to destroy life for food. There
should be no killing at all. In the science of the time, vegetation is seen as being part of the “earth” without an
independent life of its own. Thus in vs 29-30, living things receive their own food to eat. Man is to eat fruit and
vegetables; animals are to eat grass and leaves. In the opinion of the author, both man and animals should
(ideally) be vegetarians (but see in Gen 9:3, where, in the face of damaged harmony, God permits man to eat
meat).
 “God said that it was good.” This phrase is repeated six times, the last time with greater emphasis, “very
good” (1:31). – The author is underlying God’s full acceptance of all creation.
 “Very good” – has the sense of ‘perfect,” exactly what I wanted,” and it refers especially to harmony, the
order, the sense of good purpose that is in all creation. The very fact that creation continues to exist affirms in
God’s love for it. (see Wisdom 11:24-26)
 The Sabbath Rest. It is noteworthy that God completed His work on the seventh day; the completion of work
is rest. The formula which concludes the other days (“evening came, morning came”) is missing for the
2| P age
seventh day. By blessing and making the Sabbath day holy, God shows that his endless rest is not for him
alone.
ACTIVITY # 5
POINTS FOR REFLECTION

1. Do you believe that everything God created is good? Why?
Yes, because as we can see every living and non-living creature are pleasing in our eyes.
2. What is the direct/main message of the creation story?
It’s a proof that the Lord exists and everything He made is special and made in His image.
Creed/Aral:
How did God reveal in the whole Genesis 1:1-2:4? How did He do it?
God created everything out of nothing, He spoke the universe into existence, was
pleased with everything He created, and God made living things already
mature, ready to reproduce.
Code/Asa l:
“In the beginning the earth was formless and dark. Then God said, ‘Let there be light.” There is still a kind of
formlessness and darkness on earth. As you begin this begin this biblical journey,
DARE: “Be a light.”

with us. All of God’s creations are good and have a purpose. Human have the unique destiny of sharing in God’s own
life of love. God continues to create today. The second creation narrative teaches us that God is a personal and
intimate God, that there is an interconnection among the things created by God, that God created humans social and
free beings. We are meant to live harmoniously with one another and lastly, God created men and women equal.
I. GOD’S MESSAGE

Creed/Aral: Understand that reality of sin.

Code/Asal: Write a reflection paper on the effects of the fall of man to all humanity.
Cult/Dasal: Repent from the sins committed and come back to God through praying the
penitential act.
INTRODUCTION:
Although all of God’s creations are good, the first members of the human race chose to disobey God and
sinned. IN this chapter, we will read through the narratives of the Fall of Man. The Bible helps us understand how sin
and evil and their consequences came into the world.
II. GOD’S MESSAGE: Read Genesis 3:1-24
III. EXPOSITION
The Fall of Man explains why sin and misery exist in the world today. Every act of violence, every illness,
every tragedy that happens can be traced back to that fateful encounter between the first human beings and Satan.
The term "Fall of Man" is not used in the Bible.
It is a theological expression for the descent from perfection to sin. "Man" is a generic biblical word for the
human race, including both men and women. Adam's and Eve's disobedience to God was the first human sin. They
forever ruined human nature, passing on the desire to sin to every person born since.
God did not tempt Adam and Eve, nor did he create them as robot-like beings without free will. Out of love,
he gave them the right to choose, the same right he gives people today. God forces no one to follow him.
A. THE STORY OF THE FALL OF MAN

 God created Adam, the first man, and Eve, the first woman, and placed them in a perfect home, the Garden
of Eden. In fact, everything about Earth was perfect at that moment in time.
 Food, in the form of fruit and vegetables, was plentiful and free for the taking. The garden God created was
spectacularly beautiful. Even the animals got along with one another, all of them eating plants at that early
stage.
2| P age
 God put two important trees in the garden: the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil. Adam's duties were clear. God told him to tend the garden and not eat the fruit of those
two trees, or he would die. Adam passed that warning on to his wife.
 Then Satan entered the garden, disguised as a serpent. He did what he is still doing today. He lied:
 “You will not surely die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes
will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:4-5)
B. THE SACRED TEACHINGS ON THE NARRATIVE
The Devil is present from the beginning – (read Genesis 3: 1-13), in the narrative on the “fall of man”, the
“serpent” represents the devil, e.g., Satan.
Eve, the first defender of the faith – (read Genesis 3: 2-5), the woman has fought the temptation of the Serpent,
although failed to stand her ground. She has proven that humanity is capable of fighting temptation.
Sin – (read Genesis 3: 6), pride has been the cause of the downfall of humanity. And sin is always seen as
something “good”. The first humans thought of being great, they wanted to obtain wisdom like God.
The effects of the Fall of Man – (read Genesis 5:12), original sin –because of sin of the first couple (i.e., original
sin), man becomes prone to sinning. CONCUPISCENE (the desire to omit sin) becomes part of humanity.
The death of man – (read Genesis 3:19), before the fall of the first man and woman – ADAM and EVE, the
created humans were immortal. They don’t die, there was no death.
The “proto-evangelium” (the first “goodnews”) – Read Genesis 3:15, in spite of the pain of the “fall”, there is
this “blessing” in the midst of the curse. God made a promise.

ACTIVITY # 7
2| P age
TIME TO REFLECT:
Creed/Aral:Answer the following questions briefly, write your answer on the space provided.
1. What is sin? Is an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law.
2. Why there is sin? Why do people commit sin? Sin was exposed since the time of Adam and
Eve, wherein the serpent tricked them to eat the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden. People commit
sin because it benefits the sinner in any way (monetarily, politically, and emotionally.)
3. What are the consequences of sin into the world? When Adam and Eve sinned by eating the forbidden
fruit, it is written in stone that their generation will suffer the way they did as it is punishment
for not obeying God.
Code/Asal:
 Identify at least 5 sins that you always do and write the reason why your do it.
1. Not reading the Bible - I often forget the Bible and sometimes it makes me lazy to read it.
2. Not doing any chores – It makes me really tired.
3. Ignoring people – I hate talking to people especially when I’m not in the mood.
4. Cursing – I say it when I’m pissed.
5. Not praying – I often forget to pray especially when I’m really tired.
1. Reflect and recall all the sins that you have committed and write it in any paper, find a
quiet place and prayerfully pray the ACT of Contrition and burn your sins.

4. Write a CONTRITION PRAYER, heartily asking sorry for all the sins that you have committed.
Dear our beloved all mighty
I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose
from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust
and follow You as my Lord and Savior.
Lord Jesus, for too long I’ve kept you out of my life. I know that I am a sinner and that I cannot
save myself. No longer will I close the door when I hear you knocking. By faith I gratefully receive
your gift of salvation. I am ready to trust you as my Lord and Savior. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for
coming to earth. I believe you are the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins and rose f the
dead on the third day. Thank you for bearing my sins and giving me the gift of eternal life. I
believe your words are true. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and be my Savior. O Lord, Jesus
Christ, Redeemer and Savior, forgive my sins, just as You forgave Peter’s denial and those who
crucified You. Count not my transgressions, but, rather, my tears of repentance. Remember not
my iniquities, but, more especially, my sorrow for the offenses I have committed against You. I
long to be true to Your Word, and pray that You will love me and come to make Your dwelling
place within me. I promise to give You praise and glory in love and service all the days of my life.
Amen.

Lesson 5 “CAIN and ABEL”
LOVE, PEACE and SERVICE:

Appreciation for God’s blessings;
CKCM Desired Sympathy and empathy toward people who are in need; and
Core Values Sense of stewardship around people and the environment.
The learner recognizes the Lord’s generosity in the story of Cain and Abel and values the
presence of the significant and meaningful people in his/her life through respect and
obedience.

Creed/Aral: Understand the consequences of sin and learn the life of the two brothers.
Code/Asal: Relate the life of the two brothers to the real situation today.
Cult/Dasal: Ask heartily sorry for all the sins committed.
INTRODUCTION:
The consequences of the fall of man is illustrated dramatically in the story of the first two sons born to Adam
and Eve. Cain, the firstborn, was a farmer, and his brother Abel was a shepherd. The brothers made sacrifices to
Yahweh, each of his own produce, but Yahweh favored Abel's sacrifice instead of Cain's. Cain then murdered Abel,
whereupon Yahweh punished Cain by condemning him to a life of wandering.

accepted the offering
of his brother Abel.
2| P age
B. THE SACRED TEACHINGS ON THE NARRATIVE
1. The narrative as a “story” expressing an important message (read: Genesis 4: 2), the narratives are
centered on the common jobs of the time: agriculture and livestock raising.
2. The offering of gifts to God (read: Genesis 4:3) from God came the blessings; to Him everything should
be returned in the form of an offering. The offering of the first-best fruits is a duty very clearly stated in
the pages of the Old Testament. In fact, offering to God the first produce is a norm every Jew must
perform.
3. The importance of work (Genesis 4:7), these words are directed to Cain. The emphasis is on the vice
called “laziness”. Thus, comparing the work of a shepherd which needs constant watchfulness, a farmer
seems to wait for a long period of time after sowing the seeds to the time of harvest. Work is a sign of
human dignity. It will always be a divine gift to have a job to earn a living. Laziness or abuse of work –
time is a transgression of this gift on part of the worker/employee.
4. Stewardship and one’s responsibility to another (read Genesis 4: 9), Man is not only the steward of
the created world, but he/she is also a steward of the people around him/her. Thus, each one of us
should be responsible toward one another.

2. “BE A BROTHER’S KEEPER” – Study the given situations. Tell what you, as a responsible

Situation #1: You catch your brothers smoking in his room. Smoking is against your parents’ rule.
2| P age
If I catch my brother smoking in his room, first I will talk to him wholeheartedly because our parent’s do
not allow us to do smoking. I will explain to my brother that smoking is bad for his health as well as to the
people around him. I wouldn’t tell our parents about it first, but if I catch my brother’s unwanted
behavior again telling our parents is the last thing that I will do.
Situation #2: Your older sister is about to go out on a date with a guy who you know is married man.
Inform my older sister of her consequences. If she knows that he is a married man, she will have to face the
aftermath because the wife wouldn't be pleased with the fact that he is going out on a date while he has a
family. I would also tell her to drop the date because it's not worth it ruining someone’s family.
Situation #3: After an argument with his parents, your friend tells you that he still plans to go out with his
Barkada even if his parents did not allow him to.
I would scold him and ask him if it’s right to disrespect his parents that way. And if he doesn’t listen to me ill
just let him, because I don’t have the right to stop him it’s not my intention to take his freedom away.

6. What was the rainbow a sign of? A symbol of faith and hope
II. EXPOSITION
In fulfilling His promise of salvation, God made a covenant with a man. In Genesis chapters 6–9, God saves
Noah and his family, and a remnant of all the world's animals from the flood.
Please read: (http://thewatchtowers.com/the-search-for-noahs-ark-government-document-archive/).
(http:/www.stpaulswb.com/documents/ParishMagazineMarch2010.pdf).
This is not as famous as the covenant with Abraham which established the Hebrews as God's people, but it
was a promise made to humanity as a whole. God had almost destroyed the entire world. If it were not for one
righteous man Noah, God would have destroyed everything.
A. Warning of the Flood – Genesis 6: 5 – 13, God is the God who acts in the world.
“When the LORD saw how great the wickedness of human beings was on earth,
and how every desire that their heart conceived was always nothing but evil,6the
LORD regretted making human beings on the earth, and his heart was grieved.
7So the LORD said: I will wipe out from the earth the human beings I have
created, and not only the human beings, but also the animals and the crawling
things and the birds of the air, for I regret that I made them. *8But Noah found favor
with the LORD.
9These are the descendants of Noah. Noah was a righteous man and blameless
in his generation;Noah walked with God.10Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham,
and Japheth.
11But the earth was corrupt* in the view of God and full of lawlessness.12When
God saw how corrupt the earth had become, since all mortals had corrupted their
ways on earth,13God said to Noah: I see that the end of all mortals has come, for
the earth is full of lawlessness because of them. So I am going to destroy them
with the earth.”
The evil in the world and the wrath of God. God is a good God, but there are things enrage Him. He wants each one of us to
be good, as He is good. It will always be sad for Him to see each one of us rebelling against Him.
B. Preparation for the flood – web search:http://www.usccb.org/bible/genesis/6

C. The Holy Spirit in the image of the “wind” – read: Genesis 8:1, This brings us back to the story of
creation where the Spirit of God has been represented by the “mighty Wind/Spirit (of the Hebrew
ruah) of God” to bring order to the chaotic world represented by the “raging waters.”

INTRODUCTION:
Knowing how we are often trapped in sin, God takes the initiative to reach out to us by calling certain
persons to be part of His plan of salvation. Salvation is God’s free offer of His love, and our response to His offer is
called faith. God is always the first to reach out to us in love. He shows His love to us by revealing who He is. He
enters into special covenant – relationships with His people. Ultimately, His plan is to share His life with us. This is
what we call salvation. Our life of faith is nourished through personal and communal prayer. During the Mass, the
community professes its faith by reciting the Apostle’s Creed. When renewing our baptismal promises, we answer “I
do” to a series of questions like “Do you believe in God…?” Prayer strengthens us and gives us courage to continue
living according to our Christian faith.
I. GOD’S MESSAGE: Read Psalm 105:8-9
II. EXPOSITION
2| P age
God called Abraham, a native of Ur, to create a people. Abraham
moved to Haran, and there God spoke to him for the first time.
Yahweh blessed his faith with the conception of his family and the
giving of a land. Abraham became the Father of God’s Chosen People
because he recognized God and lived with Him. With his wife Sarah, he
was blessed with a son named Isaac.
Abraham (originally Abram) is the common patriarch of the Abrahamic
religions, including Judaism, Christianity and Islam. ... Abraham is
called by God to leave the house of his father Terah and settle in the
land originally given to Canaan but which God now promises
to Abraham and his progeny.
SACRED TEACHINGS ON THE CALLING OF ABRAHAM

1. Abraham’s faith on the voice and promises of God
-The biblical passage is about Abraham’s [Abrahams’s] faith. Abraham was asked to leave his family. With
this command, he received promises from God: (a) that he shall a father to a great nation (even though his
wife is barren); and (b) that he shall own a vast land (even though he knew that he has to subdue the
inhabitants of that land; it would mean war, even death).[Abrahams] believed and marched on. He believed
in this God who spoke to Him. He believed in this God who would not fail him. For this, Abraham earned the
title: Father of Faith.
2. The sacredness of God’s calling and promises
-The story of Abraham is about the sacred of the call and the promises of God. God calls. God makes promises. If
only everyone would listen and believe.
Like what had happened to Abraham, deep within our hearts, God call us to leave our concern behind. He
asks us from time to time to free ourselves from our sinfulness and travel the path of goodness.
Isaac, in the (Genesis), second of the patriarchs of , the only son

of and , and father of and Jacob. Although Sarah was past the age of
childbearing, God promised Abraham and Sarah that they would have
a son, and Isaac was born. Later, to test Abraham’s obedience, God
commanded Abraham to sacrifice the boy. Abraham made all the
preparations for the ritual sacrifice, but God spared Isaac at the last
moment.

Joseph’s childhood must have been filled with an abundance of daddy love, for Israel (another name for
Jacob) loved him the most of all his eleven sons. Joseph, the “master dreamer”, was Israel’s son of his old
age and of his favorite (and deceased) wife Rachel. We can picture Joseph sitting on his father’s knee,
bathing in father love, while Israel shared with Joseph the Word of God and the great love God had for him.
Yet, Joseph also experienced pain during his childhood.We know Joseph suffered deep wounds during his
childhood, wounds that would leave many of us emotionally and spiritually injured for an entire lifetime, yet
he was able to overcome them. How many of us could overcome the loss of a mother during our childhood
and the deep hatred and jealousy of our 10 older brothers? And yet Joseph not only bore this pain, he rose
above it in such magnificence that he would eventually perform miraculous deeds for his people. Of course,
there is only one way anyone can overcome such pain – through the healing balm of God’s love. A love that
Joseph learned from the tender relationship he enjoyed with his Father Israel. It was out of this love that a
wisdom was born in Joseph, a wisdom that he would carry in his heart for his entire 110 years on this earth.
He was sold to the Ishmaelites as a slave and was brought to Egypt where he eventually became a governor
2| P a g e
after he wisely interpreted the Pharaoh’s dream. When there was famine, Joseph brought his Hebrew family
to the northeastern part of Egypt. As the members of his family increased in number, they became ever
that continued and even became worse for many years. It was then that they felt the need of the Savior.
Seeing their need, God sent them a liberator in the person of Moses.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his

children, because he was the son of his old age; and
he made him a long robe with sleeves. But when his
brothers saw that their father loved him more than all
his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak
peaceably to him.

GENERALIZATION:Readhttps://www.thelastdialogue.org/book-of-genesis-summary/
Genesis means beginning. This book is sometimes being called the “seed-plot” of the entire
Bible. As its title implies, it is the framework of the Bible, on which everything is built. The book tells of
the Creation followed by the rebellion of our first parents. It then records the increase of sinfulness in
the earth followed by the flood in which the only human survivors were Noah and his family. Another
rebellion against God’s commands is stopped by the introduction of different languages. The Book
can be broken into two parts: Old History consisting of Creation of heavens and earth and then Fall
of Adam till flood of Noah and second part which mainly consists of the history records of four great
human beings 1- Abraham chapter 12-25, 2- Isaac chapter 21-35, 3- Jacob chapter 25-50 and 4-
Joseph chapter 30-50.
Genesis is the second-longest book of the Bible (after Jeremiah). That means there are a lot of
characters in Genesis. If you want a look at the most-mentioned characters in Genesis, Adrien pulled
the nerdy data together here. But in terms of getting an overview of the book, these four characters
are the most important ones to know about:
God (Yahweh)—the creator of heaven and earth, including the humans Adam and Eve. God
makes all things “very good,” but when both humans and divine beings rebel against God, the world
slips back into chaos. The humans rebel against God, bringing a curse on the world and growing so
violent that God destroys everyone but Noah and his family. God is still at work to bring the world
back to “very good” status again—and chooses to begin this work through a man God names
Abraham.
Abraham (formerly Abram)—a Mesopotamian whom God chooses as the patriarch of a special
nation. Abraham journeys through the land of Canaan, which God promises to give to Abraham’s
descendants. God makes a covenant (a special binding agreement) with Abraham—which is where
Israel’s story as a nation truly begins.
Jacob/Israel—Abraham’s grandson. Jacob tricks his father and brother, finagling his way into
receiving a special blessing. He has twelve sons, which the twelve tribes of Israel trace their lineage
back to.
Joseph—Jacob’s favorite son, who has prophetic dreams of greatness. He is also able to
interpret other people’s dreams. His brothers sell him into slavery, but through his God-given wisdom,
he ascends to the position of second-in-command over all Egypt.

INTRODUCTION:
Moses, a prophet and leader, was chosen and sent to free the Hebrews from slavery in
Egypt. This event revealed to them that their God, Yahweh, was an unlimited lover. His love freed
them from the shackles of slavery and gave them a new charter on life. At Mount Sinai, God
renewed the covenant between Himself and his people. He promised to protect them; his people,
and for their part, the Israelites promised to obey HIS will by living a life that would show all
mankind that they were different and that they would worship the One True God. This agreement
was manifested in the people’s obedience to God’s 10 Commandments (Ex. 20).
For forty years, God’s chosen people continued their journey, through the wilderness, to the
Promised Land. During those years, God gradually revealed Himself to His people and His plans for
them. In due time, the chosen people knew God and believed in his power over them. They
struggled to serve Him in faithful obedience, but there were moments when they were unfaithful to
2| P age
Him and lost his continuous love and care. Thus, they were allowed to wander in the desert for long
years until they finally entered the Promised Land.

II. EXPOSITION
WHO IS MOSES?
Moses was an Israelite who was born in Egypt during a time when his people were slaves in that country.
Also during that time, the Egyptian leader, or pharaoh, ordered that all of the Israelites' newborn male
children be killed.
When Moses was born, his mother hid him until he was too big to hide any longer. Then she put him in a
papyrus basket and placed it in some reeds in the Nile River. Pharaoh's daughter found the basket and saw
the crying baby inside. She realized the baby was a Hebrew child and felt sorry for him. She decided to
adopt Moses and raise him as her own son.
As Moses grew up, he saw how miserable the Israelites were. One day he killed an Egyptian man who was
beating an Israelite slave. When Pharaoh found out, he wanted to kill Moses, so Moses escaped to Midian.
It was there that Moses met Jethro's seven daughters. He eventually married one of the daughters and
began working for his father-in-law.
THE BURNING BUSH, God speaks to Moses from a burning bush (Exodus 3:1-6)
During a time when the people of Israel were slaves in the land of Egypt, a man named Moses was tending
a flock of sheep in the land of Midian. He was watching the flock for Reuel, who also was called Jethro.
This man was Moses' father-in-law, the priest of Midian.
Moses led the flock through the wilderness and eventually came to Mt. Horeb, which was called the
mountain of God.
2| P age
As Moses guided the sheep toward the mountain, he saw a curious sight. There in front of him was a bush
that had flames shooting out of it. As Moses continued to look, he noticed that as the fire continued to
burn, the bush remained whole. The fire did not destroy it.
Moses walked up to the bush with a look of wonder. He just had to get closer so he could figure out what
was going on.
As Moses drew near, God noticed he was coming and spoke to him from the center of the burning bush.
"Moses! Moses!" God called out.
"Here I am," Moses answered.
God warned Moses not to come too close to the bush: "Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place
where you stand is holy ground."
God then explained that he was the God of Moses' ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
As God spoke, Moses became frightened and hid his face. He was afraid to look at God.
But the Lord continued to speak to him. He had a very special assignment for Moses.
"I have witnessed the affliction of my people in Egypt and have heard their cry against their taskmasters,
so I know well what they are suffering," God told Moses. "Therefore I have come down to rescue them
from the power of the Egyptians and lead them up from that land into a good and spacious land, a land
flowing with milk and honey. ... Now, go! I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites,
out of Egypt."
Moses was stunned.
"Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" he asked.
God promised to be with Moses. The Lord told him what to say to the elders of Israel so they would know
God had sent Moses to rescue them from the Egyptians.
The Burning Bush and Christ
The Exodus account is closely connected with the story of Christ in the Gospels.
Just as the Israelites journeyed to Egypt so also did the Holy Family. They wandered in the desert as did
Christ. They were tempted as was He. They received manna from heaven. Christ was the true bread of
heaven. They drank water from the side of a rock. Water poured forth from His side on the cross.
And so, when we approach the story of the burning bush—the encounter with God from which the entire
exodus account really takes off—we should instinctively be on the watch for ways in which it might
foreshadow Christ.
This is unquestionably a manifestation of God’s presence. God calls out to Moses from the bush. The
ground on which Moses stands is declared sacred. And Moses fears to behold God. But is Christ here?
For the Fathers, there would have been little doubt. For it is the Word of God that always reveals God.
Certainly the fullness of God’s manifestation to man came in the Incarnation, but moments like this, the
Fathers would say, are the work of the pre-Incarnate Christ. Their approach is certainly a biblical one: St.
2| P age
Paul himself declared, for example, that the rock from which the Israelites drank water in the desert was
none other than Christ.
In fact, from the very beginning itself, in Genesis, Fathers like St. Basil of Caesarea associated God’s
speaking with the second person of the Trinity, the Word. Again, their intuitions are confirmed by Scripture
itself. As John 1 informs us, it was Christ who fashioned creation.
God speaks throughout the rest of Genesis. He sentences Adam and Eve to banishment from the Garden
of Eden. He calls Noah to build an ark. He calls Abraham to the mountain to sacrifice His son. But there is
something noticeably different about His speaking this time. Now divine speech correlates with divine
presence. The Word of God makes God present to Moses, hence the admonition that he is standing on
sacred ground. Such presence is, moreover, accompanied by a visible sign, the miracle of the bush that
burns but is not burnt.
Moses meets God in personal way on Mt. Horeb. God does not thunder from the heavens. Nor is He
perceived as some sort of disembodied voice invisible yet audible. The episode of the burning bush rather
has the character of a personal meeting. So it is most fitting that near the end, God gives Moses his name:
‘I am who I am’ (in verse 14).
The Church has long seen this simple utterance as being a statement of enormous significance. When
translated in the Greek, the language in which the earlier Church read the Old Testament, the verbs here
are those of being. God was declaring not that he was a being among others. He was stating that
He was Being.
THE SACRED TEACHINGS ON THE BURNING BUSH
1. THE VOCATION OF MOSES: THE PARADIGM OF A “CALLING”
2. THE “LITTLENESS” OF MOSES TO THE “GREATNESS” OF GOD AND THE MISSION.
3. GOD SHALL BE WITH THE MESSENGER.
MOSES AND THE CROSSING INTO THE DIVIDED SEA, with God's help
God appeared to Moses and told him to go to Egypt. He wanted Moses to tell the pharaoh to release the
Israelites from slavery.
God brought 10 plagues on Egypt through Moses to persuade the pharaoh to release the Israelites. But the
pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he refused to let them go.
When one of the plagues resulted in the death of his son, the pharaoh, in his grief, set the Israelites free.
After God freed the Israelites from slavery, they sinned against him by complaining.
They grumbled to Moses about being hungry, so God sent the people manna and quail to eat.
After complaining to Moses about being thirsty, God had Moses hit his staff on a rock. Water flowed out
for the people to drink.
Even with all of the things God did for the Israelites, the people kept sinning against him.
2| P age
When Moses was on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights receiving the Ten Commandments from God, the
people demanded a new god to worship. Moses' brother, Aaron, collected gold jewelry from the people
and made a golden calf for them to worship.
This made God very angry. He wanted to destroy the Israelites and make a new nation from Moses.
However, Moses asked God to spare and forgive the people, which is something that he had to do a lot.
God forgave the people, but they did not go unpunished. Since the people had sinned against God, and because they did not obey God
or wholeheartedly believe in him, God made them travel around the wilderness for many years. He did this because he wanted the
complaining and wicked generation to pass away before allowing the Israelites to enter the land he had promised them.
THE SACRED TEACHINGS ON THE NARRATIVE OF CROSSING

1. GOD IS THE TRUE POWERFUL GOD.
2. GOD PROTECTS HIS PEOPLE.
3. GOD PROMISES, GOD FULFILLS.
GOD GIVES THE LAW THROUGH MOSES

According to Exodus in the Old Testament, God issued his own set of laws (the Ten Commandments) to
Moses on Mount Sinai. In Catholicism, the Ten Commandments are considered divine law because God
himself revealed them. And because they were spelled out specifically with no room for ambiguity, they’re
also positive law. Hence they’re also known as divine positive law.
The Catholic Ten Commandments are a summary of “the conditions of a life freed from the slavery of sin”
(Catechism, 2057).
They must be understood in relation to the “law of love”: Love of God and love of neighbor summarize all
of Catholic morality. The law of love is also the first principle & source of the moral law. It contains “all the
law and the prophets” (Mt 22:40).
The Catholic Ten Commandments are a description of the minimum that love requires.
Christian life itself requires much more than simply following the Ten Commandments.
Here are the Catholic Ten Commandments:
1. I am the LORD your God. You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve.
This commandment forbids idolatry, the worship of false gods and goddesses, and it

excludes polytheism, the belief in many gods, insisting instead on monotheism, the belief in
one God. This commandment forbids making golden calves, building temples to Isis, and
worshipping statues of Caesar, for example.
2. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
The faithful are required to honor the name of God. It makes sense that if you’re to love God
with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, then you’re naturally to respect the name of God
with equal passion and vigor.
3. Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.
2| P age
The Jewish celebration of Sabbath (Shabbat) begins at sundown on Friday evening and lasts
until sundown on Saturday. Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Christians go to church on
Sunday, treating it as the Lord’s Day instead of Saturday to honor the day Christ rose from the
dead.
4. Honor your father and your mother.
This commandment obliges the faithful to show respect for their parents — as
children and adults. Children must obey their parents, and adults must respect and see to the
care of their parents, when they become old and infirm.
5. You shall not kill.
The better translation from the Hebrew would be “Thou shalt not murder” — a subtle distinction
but an important one to the Church. Killing an innocent person is considered murder. Killing an
unjust aggressor to preserve your own life is still killing, but it isn’t considered murder or
immoral.
6. You shall not commit adultery.
The sixth and ninth commandments honor human sexuality. This commandment forbids the
actual, physical act of having immoral sexual activity, specifically adultery, which is sex with
someone else’s spouse or a spouse cheating on their partner. This commandment also
includes fornication, which is sex between unmarried people, prostitution, pornography,
homosexual activity, masturbation, group sex, rape, incest, pedophilia, bestiality, and
necrophilia.
7. You shall not steal.
The seventh and tenth commandments focus on respecting and honoring the possessions of
others. This commandment forbids the act of taking someone else’s property. The Catholic
Church believes that this commandment also denounces cheating people of their money or
property, depriving workers of their just wage, or not giving employers a full day’s work for a
full day’s pay. Embezzlement, fraud, tax evasion, and vandalism are all considered extensions
of violations of the Seventh Commandment.
8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
The Eighth Commandment condemns lying. Because God is regarded as the author of all
truth, the Church believes that humans are obligated to honor the truth. The most obvious way
to fulfill this commandment is not to lie — intentionally deceive another by speaking a
falsehood. So a good Catholic is who you want to buy a used car from.
9. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.
The Ninth Commandment forbids the intentional desire and longing for immoral sexuality. To
sin in the heart, Jesus says, is to lust after a woman or a man in your heart with the desire and
will to have immoral sex with them. Just as human life is a gift from God and needs to be
respected, defended, and protected, so, too, is human sexuality. Catholicism regards human
sexuality as a divine gift, so it’s considered sacred in the proper context — marriage.
2| P age
10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods
The Tenth Commandment forbids the wanting to or taking someone else’s property. Along with
the Seventh Commandment, this commandment condemns theft and the feelings of envy,
greed, and jealousy in reaction to what other people have.
“WHAT DO THEY MEAN?”
Again, the Ten Commandments are a description of the basic freedom from sin that is necessary to live as a
Christian.
They are a minimum level of living, below which we must not go.
The Ten Commandments and Catholicism have been bound together since the time of Christ. In fact, Jesus
refers to the Ten Commandments and assures their validity in his dialog with the rich young man in
Matthew’s Gospel (Mt 19:16-21). The Catechism refers to this in item #2052.
The Catholic Ten Commandments are linked together to form a coherent whole. If you break one of them,
you’re guilty of breaking all of them (Catechism, #2069).
The Commandments express man’s fundamental duties to God and neighbor. As such, they
represent grave obligations. To violate them knowingly & willingly in a significant way is to commit mortal
sin. (See Catechism, #2702-3)
THE SACRED TEACHINGS ON THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
1. GOD THE GIVER OF THE LAW
2. THE LAW OF LOVE and RESPECT
GENERALIZATION:
Moses and the prayer of the mediator (CATECHESIM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH)
2574 Once the promise begins to be fulfilled (Passover, the Exodus, the gift of the Law, and the ratification
of the covenant), the prayer of Moses becomes the most striking example of intercessory prayer, which
will be fulfilled in "the one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." 19
2575 Here again the initiative is God's. From the midst of the burning bush he calls Moses. 20 This event will
remain one of the primordial images of prayer in the spiritual tradition of Jews and Christians alike. When
"the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob" calls Moses to be his servant, it is because he is the living God
who wants men to live. God reveals himself in order to save them, though he does not do this alone or
despite them: he calls Moses to be his messenger, an associate in his compassion, his work of salvation.
There is something of a divine plea in this mission, and only after long debate does Moses attune his own
will to that of the Savior God. But in the dialogue in which God confides in him, Moses also learns how to
pray: he balks, makes excuses, above all questions: and it is in response to his question that the Lord
confides his ineffable name, which will be revealed through his mighty deeds.
2576 "Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend." 21 Moses' prayer is
characteristic of contemplative prayer by which God's servant remains faithful to his mission. Moses
converses with God often and at length, climbing the mountain to hear and entreat him and coming down
to the people to repeat the words of his God for their guidance. Moses "is entrusted with all my house.
2| P age
With him I speak face to face, clearly, not in riddles," for "Moses was very humble, more so than anyone
else on the face of the earth."22
2577 From this intimacy with the faithful God, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, 23 Moses drew
strength and determination for his intercession. He does not pray for himself but for the people whom
God made his own. Moses already intercedes for them during the battle with the Amalekites and prays to
obtain healing for Miriam.24 But it is chiefly after their apostasy that Moses "stands in the breach" before
God in order to save the people.25 The arguments of his prayer - for intercession is also a mysterious battle -
will inspire the boldness of the great intercessors among the Jewish people and in the Church: God is love;
he is therefore righteous and faithful; he cannot contradict himself; he must remember his marvelous
deeds, since his glory is at stake, and he cannot forsake this people that bears his name.

II. EXPOSITION
WHO IS JOSHUA?
Joshua is Moses’ successor as leader of Israel. While he is not a king, he does in some ways
foreshadow the kings who will rule over Israel in subsequent centuries. He leads the nation into
battle, he executes judgment when necessary, and he attempts to hold the people to the terms of
the covenant God made with the Israelites at Mt. Sinai. To use modern terms, we could call the
transition from Moses to Joshua an example of good succession planning. Moses, as led by God,
has appointed in Joshua a leader who matches Moses’ own character of faithfulness to God. He is
described as a man of valor and learning, strong and courageous (Joshua 1:6-7), well-informed
about and obedient to God’s law (Josh. 1:8-9). More importantly, he is a spiritual man. Ultimately,
the foundation of Joshua’s leadership is not his own strength, nor even Moses’ tutelage, but God’s
guidance and power. God promises him “The Lord your God is with you wherever you go”
(Josh. 1:9).
LEADERSHIP.As an example to today’s leaders, Joshua’s most notable characteristic may be
his willingness to keep growing in virtue throughout his life. Unlike Samson, who seems stuck in
infantile willfulness, Joshua transitions from a hotheaded young man (Numbers 14:6-10) to a military
commander (Joshua 6:1-21) to a national chief executive (Josh. 20) and eventually to a prophetic
visionary (Josh. 24). He is more than willing to subject himself to a long period of training under
2| P age
Moses and to learn from those more experienced than himself (Numbers 27:18-23; Deuteronomy
3:28). He is not afraid to give orders in times of action, yet he continues to share leadership among a
team including the priest Eleazar and the elders of the Twelve Tribes (e.g., Joshua 19:51). He never
seems to refuse an opportunity to grow in character or to benefit from the wisdom of others.
THE PROMISED LAND(JOSHUA 1:4)
The land was of course bountiful by the standards of the Ancient Near East. But the blessings of the
land went beyond the favorable climate, abundant water, and other natural benefits provided by the
hand of the Creator. Israel would also inherit a well-developed infrastructure from the Canaanites. “I
gave you a land on which you had not labored, and towns that you had not built, and you live in them;
you eat the fruit of vineyards and olive yards that you did not plant” (Joshua 24:13, cf. Deuteronomy
6:10-11). Even the signature description of the land as “flowing with milk and honey” (Joshua 5:6,
cf. Exodus 3:8) assumes some degree of livestock management and beekeeping.
Biblically, Israel is generally thought as region south and southwest of the Lebanon mountains,
north and east of Egypt, east of the Mediterranean coastal plain, and west of the Arabian desert. In
dimension, Israel was roughly 150 miles from Dan to Beersheba, and at its greatest width it was about 75
miles across. The Lord promised Joshua that the original extent of the land promised to Abraham was
to be given to Israel (see Genesis 15:18; Joshua 1:4).
Although the Israelites who went into the Promised Land with Joshua were generally faithful and
obedient, as a nation Israel soon returned to their old ways and lost the blessings promised to them of
winning the whole land. Not until the time of David and Solomon (about two hundred years later) did
Israel control the land given in the original covenant and then only for a short while, for they soon lost
the outermost parts of it again.
The land—the earth, the ground under our feet—is where our existence takes place. (Even those
who take to the sea and the air spend most of their lives on land.) God’s promise to his people is not a
disembodied abstraction, but a concrete place where his will is done and his presence is found. The
place we are at any moment is the place we encounter God and the only place we have to go about his
work. Creation can be a place where either evil or good dwells. Our task is to work good in the actual
creation and culture where we work. Joshua was given the task of making the land of Canaan holy by
adhering to God’s covenant there. We are given the task of making our workplaces holy by working
according to God’s covenant also.
CONQUERING THE LAND - DOES GOD ENDORSE CONQUEST? (Joshua 6-12)
Joshua is charged to conquer the land which Yahweh promised the patriarchs. Before
crossing the Jordan he reminds all the tribes of Israel about their commitments to Yahweh and then
chooses spies who manage to enter Jericho with the aid of Rahab and report back to Joshua, “Truly
the Lord has given all the land into our hands; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land are faint
hearted because of us” (Jos. 2:24).
By a special providence of God they cross the Jordan whose waters open to let them pass,
and they erect twelve stone columns to commemorate this miracle. The Jordan is in full flood at this
season—springtime-and often overflows its banks: The snows of Lebanon melt just around the
time of the first harvest. Some Fathers (for example, Gregory and Augustine) see this turning back
2| P age
of the waters as symbolizing the effects of baptism, whereby man goes back to the origin from
which he deviated.
After they cross the Jordan, everyone is circumcised at Gilgal (5:2ff). This is highly significant.
Augustine says it is “not the person but the people” who revive the practice of circumcision, which
was interrupted when they left Egypt. Circumcision was unnecessary when they were living in the
wilderness: it was a sign of belonging to Israel and therefore served no useful purpose while they
were moving around uninhabited territory. Also, Jerome says, God dispensed them from
circumcision in the desert because it would have been difficult or dangerous to carry out properly in
that situation.
They then move on and conquer Jericho after a seven day siege, putting all to the sword
except Rahab and her family (6:17-25). How did they manage to do this? “By faith the walls of
Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days” (Heb. 11:30). What could have been
more ridiculous than silently circling a strong, defended city? Clearly the methods the Israelites used
were completely disproportionate to what they achieved—an example of how God confounds
human reason by apparent foolishness (cf. 1 Cor. 1:19-25).
After this comes a first, unsuccessful, attack on Ai. Joshua discovers in prayer the reason for
the failure: An Israelite had taken booty, which God had explicitly forbidden should be done. Achan
confesses his crime and is punished and then the Israelites succeed in taking the city (chap. 8). At
the end of this chapter the covenant is renewed at Mount Ebal, to the east of the plain of Shechem.
SACRED TEACHINGS
2| P age
Joshua and Judges tell the story of Israel’s occupation of God’s Promised Land and the formation of a
national government. Their overall theme is that when God’s people abide by his commandments and his
guidance, their work prospers and they experience peace and joy. But when they follow their own
inclinations and set themselves up as the ultimate authority, then poverty, strife, and every kind of evil
bring grief and suffering.
The primary story line of both Joshua and Judges is that while God’s chosen people are repeatedly
rebellious against God, turning to serve other gods and forgetting God’s covenant with them, God is
always ready to respond to their crises and deliver them. Only when they cease even to desire God’s
blessings do they fall into misery and social devastation. This is a remarkably contemporary message, as
well. We often find ourselves drifting away from God as we decide how to handle the many opportunities
and challenges that arise in our work. We discover that we have elevated other concerns above receiving
his love and loving and serving him through our work. The message of Joshua and Judges is that God is
ready, now and here, for us to return to him and receive his blessings in our life and work.
1. God’s power work for the fulfillment of His promise.

God always keeps His promises. He has power to make them, and He has power to fulfill them. Some
doubt this fact. The initial company of Israelites who departed from Egypt did so with reluctance. Bad
as things were in Egypt, the known seemed better than the unknown to those who lacked faith. During
their forty years of desert wandering, the children of Israel alternately blessed and cursed the name of
God. When He showed them miracles, they humbled themselves. When the tests and rigors of desert
life became difficult, they hardened their hearts in anger and resentment. They forgot His power and
trembled in fear at the thought of facing the Canaanites. In so doing, they lost their privilege to enter
the land of promise.
2. Miracles do come true when one believes in God.
To face and conquer an opponent was not easy task, especially if the people under one’s command
were not prepared for battle. With God by their side, the conquest of Canaan becomes a reality. If we
will only believe in God, we shall overcome all hindrances, fears, and discouragement. For with God
even the odds are against us, if He wills it to be, we shall triumph with God.

There are six major judges about whom we know: OTHNIEL, EHUD, DEBORAH, GIDEON,
JEPHTHAH AND SAMSON. There are six minor judges who are merely mentioned in the book:
SHAMGAR, TOLA, JAIR, IBZAN, ELON AND ABDON. Each of them rules Israel for a period of time,
but we have no particulars about their lives.
Deborah initiates the defeat of Sisera and his Canaanite armies. The Song of Deborah follows the
story of the battle.
Gideon is the ideal judge of Israel. The angel of the Lord calls him to attack the vast armies of
Midian with a mere 300 men and Gideon prevails. Unfortunately, Gideon falls into
idolatrous worship in his old age (8:27).
Samson is dedicated to the Lord from birth to be a Nazirite (Num 6). Yet an unholy rage
accompanies his legendary strength and brings him to do some cruel deeds. Eventually
Delilah deceives him and gives him up to the Philistines. Samson is the tragic hero of the
book of Judges. Though he has God-given strength, he yields to his weaknesses.

There is one "anti-judge" character in Judges: Abimelech. He is one of the many sons of Gideon. In an
attempt to empower himself, he executes almost all of the sons of Gideon. But the people who supported
him eventually turn on him and he dies a violent death.
During the period of the judges, Israel does not have a king and everyone does "what is right in his own
eyes" (21:25). Some of the men in the town of Gibeah in Benjamin become so evil that they abuse and kill a
woman. Her husband asks Israel to war against the Benjamites because of their wickedness. All the tribes
gather together and attack Benjamin. Before the battle, the tribes vow not to give their daughters in
marriage to any Benjamites. But after Benjamin sorely loses the battle, the few remaining men have no
women to marry. The other Israelites then devise a plan for the Benjamites to gain wives without breaking
the vow they had made (21).

THE STORY OF SAMSON and DELILAH
Samson, Hebrew Shimshon, legendary Israelite warrior and judge, or divinely
inspired leader, renowned for the prodigious strength that he derived from his uncut hair.
He is portrayed in the biblical Book of Judges (chapters 13–16).
Samson’s incredible exploits, as related in the biblical narrative, hint at the weight
of Philistine pressure on Israel during much of Israel’s early, tribal period
in Canaan (1200–1000 BCE). The biblical narrative, only alluding to Samson’s “twenty
years” activity as a judge, presents a few episodes, principally concerned with the
beginning and the end of his activity. Before his conception, his mother, a peasant of the
tribe of Dan at Zorah, near Jerusalem, was visited by an angel who told her that her son
was to be a lifelong Nazirite—i.e., one dedicated to the special service of God, usually
through a vow of abstinence from strong drink, from shaving or cutting the hair, and
from contact with a dead body.
Samson possessed extraordinary physical strength, and the moral of his saga relates the disastrous
loss of his power to his violation of the Nazirite vow, to which he was bound by his mother’s promise to
the angel. He first broke his religious obligation by feasting with a woman from the neighboring town of
Timnah, who was also a Philistine, one of Israel’s mortal enemies. Other remarkable deeds follow. For
example, he decimated the Philistines in a private war. On another occasion he repulsed their assault on
him at Gaza, where he had gone to visit a harlot. He finally fell victim to his foes through love of Delilah,
who beguiled him into revealing the secret of his strength: his long Nazirite hair. As he slept, Delilah had his
hair cut and betrayed him. He was captured, blinded, and enslaved by the Philistines, but in the end God
granted Samson his revenge; through the return of his old strength, he demolished the great Philistine
temple of the god Dagon, at Gaza, destroying his captors and himself (Judges 16:4–30).
HOW SAMSON AND THE GATE OF GAZA FORESHADOW CHRIST AND THE CROSS.
Whenever the name Samson is mentioned, people will mostly remember Delilah who betrayed him by
cutting his hair off to take away his strength. If not that, they will remember how he pushed the pillars of
Dagon’s temple and killed the Philistines as it came crumbling down on them. Most, however, will not
remember the episode with the gate of Gaza, and it is unfortunate because it is a foreshadowing of Christ.
As a background, the Israelites clamored for a king for that is what they saw in other countries. God, however,
gave them judges (for the meantime). These are not magistrates who arbitrate lawsuits. Instead, they are
persons who help Israel from her enemies. READ: Judges Chapters 13 to 16
How is this a foreshadowing of Christ?
In the Creed, we say of Christ, “he descended to the dead and rose again on the third day…” We have to
remember that God did not mean for humankind to die. Death was never part of his plan. It was original sin
that brought in death in our fallen human nature. Death, then, is the invention of the enemy.
So when Christ breathed his last, death threatened to swallow him up and digest him in its dark pit. Christ
then is like Samson when the closed gates of Gaza threatened to keep him inside where the embrace of
death would hold him forever. But how could the author of life – life itself – be held prisoner by the gates
of death? It is absolutely absurd! So Christ rose from his death sleep (like Samson rose in the middle of the
night) and figuratively broke the gate that meant to keep him dead. He just didn’t escape death, but
2| P age
brought the “gates” to a place where it could never be used to keep people inside permanently ever again.
Isn’t that what Christ did for us? Didn’t he take away the venom of death so it will not permanently harm all
of us? Yes, our spirit will separate from our bodies at the end of our life, but it will be brought together
again at the end of time. Death cannot keep us dead. That is the gift the Christ gave us. It is a gift we need
to be thankful day after day because you were bought at a great price. Isn’t the act of Samson carrying the
gate on his shoulders like Christ carrying the cross? Indeed it is a terrible price.
SACRED TEACHINGS
The point of Judges is that God rescues his people when they repent and executes his judgment on them
when they rebel. It also shows us that righteous behavior is really important for the proper functioning of
society. The Israelites should have conquered the whole land. They should have listened to the
judges. They should have avoided idol worship. And they should have stayed away from infighting. We
can also learn from the mistakes of the judges themselves: strength and power should be used for good
and not for selfish or evil purposes.
 Love should not be used for gaining something.
 To love is to protect and to guide, not to harm anyone.
 Self – Sacrifice is the best way of expressing one’s love.

II. EXPOSITION
The Hebrew Bible relates that Saul ruled as the first king of Israel in the 11th century BCE.
Who Was Saul?
 According to the Bible, as king, Saul marshaled military forces to fight the Ammonites,
Edomites, Moabites, Amalekites and Philistines. In one version of Saul's death, he took his own
life following an unsuccessful battle against the Philistines circa 1000.
 Saul was eventually succeeded by David, a formerly valued member of his court who had
become a rival. There are no non-biblical sources that recount Saul's life, but some
archeological discoveries have corroborated aspects of his reign.
Early Life
Saul's exact date of birth is unknown. Under the assumption that he became king at the age
of 30 circa 1020 BCE, he would have been born circa 1050 BCE. He was a member of the northern
tribe of Benjamin.
King of Israel
The Hebrew Bible offers three different versions of Saul's ascension to the kingship of Israel.
In one, Saul is anointed as king by the judge Samuel; a selling point is Saul's notable height. In
another, Saul is chosen by lots when Israelites seek a king to unite different tribes and confront
external threats. The third version links Saul's selection to his rescue of the town of Jabesh-Gilead
from besieging Ammonites.
2| P age
For some, the third story is the most believable. Having military ability could have helped Saul build
power, and would explain his later successes fighting the Philistines.
The small kingdom that Saul ruled likely included Mt. Ephraim, Benjamin and Gilead.
The time that Saul served as king of Israel is generally approximated as about 20 years, circa 1020 to
1000 BCE. However, the Hebrew text of the Bible reads that Saul became king at the age of 1 and
ruled for two years, which is obviously unlikely. Some early Greek translations of the Bible state that
Saul took power when he was 30 years old.
Achievements
Though the Bible states that during Saul's reign he demonstrated shortcomings like extreme
jealousy of David, as the first king of Israel, Saul succeeded in bringing different tribes into a closer
association and achieved several victories over Israel's enemies. In addition, the united monarchy
that Saul established was subsequently ruled by the lauded leaders David and Solomon.
Death
Saul died circa 1000 BCE on Mount Gilboa. The Bible recounts that before an important
battle with the Philistines, Saul visited a witch to ask about his fate. The witch conjured the spirit of
the departed Samuel, who informed Saul that he and his sons would be defeated and die.
After fighting the Philistines at Mount Gilboa, 1 Samuel relates that Saul chose to fall on his
sword to avoid being taken by the enemy.
SACRED TEACHINGS
1. Saul, a man from the smallest of the twelve tribes.
2. The anointing as the symbol of divine choosing.
The story of Saul as told in 1 Samuel, beginning in Chapter 9, is one of the most tragic stories in
the Old Testament. Saul was chosen by God and anointed by the Samuel to be the first king of Israel.
Listen to these uplifting words of Samuel as he anoints Saul: “The Lord anoints you commander over
his inheritance. You are to govern the Lord’s people Israel and save them from the grasp of their
enemies round about” (1 Samuel 10:1). With such a promising start, he was definitely on the fast track
to reign as the epitome of the ideal king for Israel. Saul certainly had all the natural gifts and talents to
be one of if not the greatest of all Israel’s kings.
So what happened? First of all, in addition to his many gifts, Saul also had glaring defects.
Perhaps, the greatest of these defects was that he was not a “man of prayer.” Even though he was
anointed by the Samuel to be Israel’s first king, he failed to recognize his need for God. As king of
Israel, Saul attempted to lead Israel independent of the Lord rather than seek his will through prayer.
He disobeyed God’s instructions given through Samuel and brought disaster upon himself and the
people as a whole. Blinded by worldly philosophies of power, his own striving for glory, and his fear,
Saul lost sight of his deep need for God’s grace and took matters into his own hands over and over
again. He failed to rule Israel with a trust in God’s faithfulness and guidance through prayer.
Is there any doubt that if Saul had been willing to open himself to God through prayer, the Lord
would have revealed to him his utter dependence on God and transformed him into a man of God?
Instead, he chose the path of self-sufficiency and self-determination, which caused his many gifts to be
2| P age
overshadowed by his faults and sins, until finally, he is rejected by God as king. Listen to these sobering
words in 1 Samuel 15:10-11: “Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel: “I am grieved that I have made
Saul king, because he has turned away from me and has not carried out my instructions.” Finally,
Samuel tells Saul, “The Lord rejects you as King of Israel” (15:26). What a sad ending to a life that began
with such high hopes

II. EXPOSITION
THE CHOSEN ONE
The story of David is one of the most important, detailed, sprawling, cinematic stories in the
whole Bible. David has such an impact on the history of Israel, he becomes the gold standard.
Nearly every book of the Bible written subsequently has reference to him, every prophet preached
about him, every king was compared to him and came up short, none could compare to his
achievements. More than that, David is a foreshadow of Christ himself, and David’s throne and his
kingdom foreshadow the church.
David is a complex and fascinating leader, a raw and transparent individual. In both his gifts
and flaws, in his successes and failures, we see a man, a leader, a man after God’s own heart.
The backstory is when God brought the Israelites out of Egypt, and established them as a
nation, there was no king, none was needed, according to God’s plan so that people would live
freely in obedience to God Himself. Of course, they didn’t. And for several centuries, they
experienced very uneven stability and sovereignty. This is called the Period of the judges.
It got so bad that God sends Samuel to find Saul’s replacement. And that’s where our hero,
David comes in.To say the least, David was not an obvious choice. David is the youngest son of a
farmer named Jesse living in utter obscurity in a backwater village called Bethlehem, no coincidence
there. David’s the low man on the family totem pole, the lowest, most menial tasks would have
been given to him. He’s not always included in family functions and events. They often overlook
him.
He’s got a dumb job for sure, just watching the sheep, nobody pays any attention to him,
he’s completely unappreciated. Do you ever feel like that? A dumb job, and from time to time, for
David, it could be a dangerous one too, because predators like lions and bears would attack the
flock. In such cases, it was the shepherd’s job to try and shield the sheep by sacrificing one sheep
for the many. But David, we learn, didn’t do that. He spent his time in obscurity, wisely and well,
learning how to confront and defeat the predators, honing the skills of a warrior.
God tells Samuel that one of Jesse’s seven sons will be the next king. So Jesse proudly trots
out his six older ones, and we read. “But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not judge from his
appearance or from his lofty stature, because I have rejected them. God does not see as we do. The
Lord sees the heart.” So, Samuel asks Jessie, “Got anybody else?” Jesse thinks for a minute and he
says, “Well, there’s the youngest son, but you don’t need to waste your time on him.” And Samuel
said, “Send for him. We will not continue until he arrives.” So he sent for him.
David was ruddy, with a fine appearance and handsome features. The Lord said, “Aha! He’s
the one.” This is the official beginning of David’s rise to leadership. He’s not king yet. But he’s on a
short trajectory to it. David wasn’t a schemer. There’s nothing of an ambitious nature about him,
but he catches the attention of Saul. And he ends up on Saul’s staff. “David came to Saul and
entered his service. Saul became very fond of him and made him his armor-bearer.” It’s not a
position of great importance. He’s just an assistant, an errand boy.
2| P age
FIGHTING THE GIANT
It is an opportunity for David to learn firsthand about being king. Well, at that time, the
Israelites were at war with a powerful enemy, called the Philistines. While Saul scored earlier
victories at this point, his army is clearly outmatched. They had won some battles, but it didn’t look
like they could win the war. Which brings us to the most famous episode of David’s whole story. “A
champion named Goliath came out from the Philistine camp, he was a giant. He stood and shouted
to the ranks of Israel, ‘Why come out in battle formation? Choose one of your men, and have him
come down to me. If he beats me in combat and kills me, we will be your vassals. But if I kill him,
you shall be our vassals and serve us.’ When Saul and the Israelites heard this challenge of the
Philistines, they were stunned and terrified.” This was not an uncommon practice in ancient
warfare, it was called single combat. To avoid the heavy bloodshed of open battle, two sides in a
conflict would simply have their greatest warrior battle each other, winner take all. Intimidation
was a factor in this kind of combat. And the Philistines mastered it.
They had this fearsome, fierce, giant guy, but his size was the least of it. This story takes
place in the early Iron Age. Iron, arms, and armor were just being introduced. And those equipped
with them, like Goliath, were nearly invincible to those using traditional arms. When Goliath
appeared to the Israelites, they had never seen anything like him before. He was astounding and
terrifying. It would be like a guy showing up at a boxing match in a tank. The Israelites refused to
fight Goliath, not because they were afraid of him, although they were terrified of him. They
refused to fight him because they couldn’t possibly win. For 40 days, Goliath challenged the
Israelites to battle, he taunted them, he baited them, he mocked them and they cowered in fear,
every single one of them including the king, cowered in fear, except for David.
When David heard Goliath’s challenge, when he heard him insulting Israel, and blaspheming
God, he developed this holy, righteous discontent. And that, in itself, is a lesson in leadership. When
most of us confront giants, when we encounter gigantic problems, it can be intimidating and
overwhelming, which in turn, can lead to inaction. We do nothing. To a leader, a giant problem is
also a giant opportunity. David refuses to do nothing. He insists on doing something, his own
brothers mock him for it, but David doesn’t care. He goes to the king and insists on fighting.
Naturally, the king acknowledges his youth and inexperience. But David pushes back. Here’s
what he said to the king, “Your servant has killed both a lion and a bear. This Philistine will be one of
them, because he has insulted the armies of the living God. The same Lord who delivered me from
the claws of the lion and the bear will deliver me from the hand of the Philistines.” The skills he
honed as shepherd, the skills he learned day after day, in his obscurity, now become critically
important in this critically important moment. David could see that God had been preparing him all
along for just such a time as this. And because he had been faithful in his job, he was ready for this
opportunity. That was David. He was prepared for battle.
In a little comic scene that follows, Saul tries to suit up David with his own battle gear, all of
which immobilizes the young man because it is too big and heavy. Instead, he strips it all off and
races out to meet the giant, unafraid and unarmed. Well, not quite unarmed, because he’s got God
on his side. David announces to the giant as he races toward him, “You come against me with
sword and spear, but I come against you in the name of the Lord of hosts.”
2| P age
So David goes into battle believing that God is with him. He fought Goliath not in the
traditional hand-to-hand combat that the giant was ready and equipped for. Instead, he
approached the challenge the same way he learned to fight wild animals as a shepherd, as a
projectile warrior. That’s what he would have been called, a projectile warrior using a slingshot. He
placed a good sized rock in a sling, which was just a leather pouch with long ropes attached to it.
And he whipped that pouch around his head, increasing quickly in speed up to six or seven
revolutions per second. And then at a distance of many meters well beyond the range of the giant’s
sword, he aimed at the only exposed part of the giant’s body, his forehead, and he hurled the
stone. And all this happens within seconds, much too fast for Goliath to even process what’s going
on. And here’s what happened. “The stone embedded itself in his brow, and he fell on his face to
the ground.
Thus David triumphed over the Philistines with sling and stone. He struck him dead and did it
without a sword.” From this moment, David’s life changes. He’s not officially the king, but everyone
recognizes him as the real leader of the nation.
THE SIN DAVID COMMITTED
David was the greatest king in ancient Israel, a leader who presided over a golden age for
the people of God. As a poet, musician, and warrior, he was truly what we have come to call a
“Renaissance Man.” He was even “a man after God’s own heart” (see 1 Sam. 13:14) because of his
extraordinary devotion to the Lord.
Despite David’s fidelity, he is also remembered as one of history’s greatest sinners. Today’s
passage tells the famous story of David’s adultery with Bathsheba and murder of her husband
Uriah. We might say it all started “innocently.” David was strolling about on the roof of his palace
(though he should have been in battle, 2 Sam. 11:1) when he saw Bathsheba bathing (vv. 2–3). The
king could have turned his gaze away, but he found himself drawn to this other man’s wife.
Consumed by his lust, he used his authority to bring her into his house and ended up fathering a
child by her (vv. 4–5).
David did just that when he violated the trust of the very man who was out defending his
throne (vv. 6–7)! Of course, once we have transgressed, we then also attempt to cover our tracks
like David even if we are not guilty of murder (vv. 8–27).
The progression in David’s sin reveals a callousing of his heart, a hardening that would make
him unable to return to Yahweh without the work of the Spirit through the Word of God (John
3:5; Heb. 4:12). Like David, we too must repent when the Lord pierces our hearts (2 Sam. 12:1–15a) so
that we may manifest that we are truly His.
RETURNING TO GOD
A man after God’s heart loves the things God loves and the ways He prescribes. Though he
may deviate from those ways at times, he will return—for God will not let him rest in his sin.
God mercifully forgave David when he acknowledged his sin, but this does not mean his
transgression had no consequences. David also worshiped the Lord even after these consequences
were brought to pass (2 Sam. 12:15b–23), showing that He acknowledged his guilt and the justice of
God’s verdict.

SACRED TEACHING
Jesus is often referred to as the son of David. To understand David, and his story is to
understand the heart of the story that is the Old Testament, preparing the way for the coming of
Christ. To understand David is to have insight into Christ himself, and the church.
Well, right now, you might be feeling like David did, when he was a shepherd living in
obscurity, your best efforts go unnoticed, un-thanked. Your job might appear unimportant some
days, your work might seem like grunt work, but there is no wasted work if you work for God and
you seek to honor him in whatever you do.
David’s life reveals the importance of preparation and perseverance. God notices what
you’re doing. If you do it to honor Him, He rewards what you’re doing too. The big days in your life,
such as the wedding days, the graduations, the proms, the promotions, they’re fruit, they’re fruit of
periods of preparation and perseverance. The up all night caring for a sick kid, the long, lonely work-
night, the long night of homework, the hours of overtime. Those don’t make for riveting
biographies and interesting stories, but that’s where character is formed and tested, quietly doing
your job in order to honor God. You’re getting ready for the giants, good and bad. You’re getting
ready for the giants when they come your way.
For David, the battle with Goliath was won far before he faced him on the field that day.
Defeating Goliath didn’t make David a leader. It revealed him as one. So this is what we want you to
know: There is no wasted work if you work for God. And if you seek to honor him, in what you do,
whatever that is, God notices what you’re doing and He will reward you. What should you do?
Persevere in doing God’s will. Be someone who is after God’s heart, and you will be prepared for
the battle, the fight against all the giants, all the difficulties in your life.

II. EXPOSITION
Solomon’s Birth
King Solomon’s story begins with his father, David. In 2 Samuel 11, King David didn’t go off to
war with his soldiers during a particular campaign against the Ammonites. While at his palace he
saw a beautiful woman named Bathsheba. She was the wife of Uriah the Hittite who was one of
his most loyal soldiers. King David didn’t care and ultimately had Uriah killed and Bathsheba
moved into his palace. God dealt with King David behind his sin because David’s actions
displeased him (see 2 Samuel 11:27). The prophet Nathan was sent to King David to tell him
about the punishments that God had given to him for his sins. One of God’s punishment’s
towards David was to kill the first child that he had with Bathsheba. After losing this child,
Bathsheba bore him another son and his name was Solomon.
Solomon Becomes the King
1 Kings tell about King David’s last years as ruler. He had to govern his kingdom from his
bedside because his old age. An older son of his named Adonijah claimed the throne. God sent
Nathan to Bathsheba so he could tell her what she must do to stay alive and have Solomon to
become king. Ultimately, Bathsheba and Nathan convinced the king that Solomon should sit on the
throne and David swore that Solomon would be the next ruler. King David had his servants
proclaim Solomon the next ruler all throughout the land and Adonijah had fearfully submitted to his
authority (1 Kings 1:49-53).
The Wisdom of Solomon
God had appeared to Solomon in a dream during the early days of his reign. The Lord told
Solomon he could have whatever he desired because he truly worshiped and honored him as he
was instructed by his father. Solomon chose wisdom as a gift from God, and the Lord blessed him
with wealth, honor, and a long life because of his choice. 1 Kings 3:16-28 is an example of Solomon’s
great wisdom and heart for justice. He had rightfully decided a matter between two prostitutes on
a child. When the people heard about his judgment on the matter, his fame spread wide and far.
Solomon’s wisdom has also been recorded in the Bible within the books of Proverbs and
Ecclesiastes.
The End of Solomon’s Reign
In 1 Kings, 9 Solomon builds the temple to God. After he was finished building the temple
God warns Solomon that if he doesn’t obey him he will cut off Israel from the land that he gave
them. Solomon’s greatest sin was taking too many foreign women as wives. This ultimately resulted
in God dividing up the kingdom. 1 Kings 11:1-3 states that Solomon had 700 wives and 300
concubines. All of these women eventually turned Solomon’s heart away from God and the Lord
judged him. God decided to divide up the kingdom from the line of David but not to completely
take it away because of the promise that he made to David. The last part of Solomon’s rule was not
good according to God. After ruling the land for 40 years, Solomon died and was buried in the city
of David.
Solomon’s Sins (1 Kings 11)
2| P age
His alliances with other nations became his downfall. To seal the relationships and
covenants, he took wives and concubines of those nations. They turned his heart away from
God. He built shrines and worshipped foreign gods with them.
Even though he built a splendid temple for the Lord, he desecrated the area with idolatrous
shrines. Because of it, God determined to tear the kingdom from his son’s hands. He was a man
who had great potential to serve God, who knew what was right, but lacked the strength to
measure up to it in his own behavior.

nationwasdividedafterSolomon’sdeath.Fromthattimeweobservetwoseparatenations—thetennortherntribes designated
“Israel” and the two southern tribes designated“Judah.”
Explain the role of Samuel in the life of the Kings.
For two centuries, the nations never reunited. Israel chose Samaria as its capital and Judah chose Jerusalem. Israel was
ultimately overthrown during the Assyrian invasion in 722 BC, and Judah fell later to Babylon in 586 BC. The reign of those
subsequent kings was a period of ups and downs, nationally, morally, and religiously. It was also a period of intensive
prophetic work, trying to keep the nation intact, and turning the people and kings back to God.

II. EXPOSITION
The Cause Of The Division—There were three crucial factors that divided the kingdom.
 Solomon’sidolatry(1Kings11:1-13).Thekingdomwouldbetornfromhissonandtentribeswouldbe given to
Jeroboam (1 Kings11:26-40).
 LongstandingrivalrybetweenthestrongsoutherntribeofJudahandsomeofthenortherntribes.Thiswas first seen when
Saul died. Judah was quick to accept David as king, while Israel set up a rival kingdom
underSaul’ssonIshbosheth(2Samuel2-4).LaterinDavid’sreignShebalaunchedarebellionamongthe northern tribes
to reject the rule of David (2 Samuel20).
 Rehoboam’sfoolishness(1Kings12:1-24).Whenthepeoplepleadedwithhimtoloosentheheavytax
burdeninvokedonthembyhisfather,hethreatenedthemwithevengreatertaxes(1Kings12:14).
The Rival Kingdoms—In size, Israel was three or four times larger than Judah. Israel was in a better position for trade and
commerce among the other nations. Judah was in a better position religiously because she had the capital city, Jerusalem,
with the temple and the priesthood.
The dynasty of David was established in Judah, and his heirs always succeeded one another. Thus, God’s promise to David
was fulfilled (2 Samuel 7:11-16). Israel never had a good king, and the monarchy was in turmoil as assassination was the order
of the day.
Therelationsbetweenthesetwokingdomsvaried.Forthefirst60yearstherewasalmostunbrokenstrifebetween them. There was a

period during which intermarriage among the two factions helped to establish a more peaceful relationship between them.
Even that broke downthough.
Israel was carried off into Assyrian captivity in 722 BC because of her idolatry, and because she had rejected the prophets
whom God sent to warn her (2 Kings 17:3-23). Judah retained her sovereignty until she eventually fell too because of idolatry
(2 Kings 25:1-21
The Written Records—Although the books of 1 & 2 Kings, and 2 Chronicles cover the same historical periods, these written
records have very different purposes. Therefore they follow different trails. Kings traces the history from the prophetic
viewpoint, Chronicles from the priestly standpoint, emphasizing the temple ritual.
 1&2Kings.Thesebookswerewrittenwiththespecificpurposeofpassingjudgmentontherulesofeach king as either

good or bad. They relate the unique rules of all the kings of Israel andJudah.
The writer jumps back and forth between the kings of Israel and Judah, painting a chronological picture and giving us
pertinent information about each king’s life and reign. Then he passes a verdict on each as either good or bad. In the
particular case of Israel, the political changes (assassinations, alliances with foreign nations) were given to show the
religious condition.
 2 Chronicles. This book was written with the specific purpose of chronicling the religious movements
duringthatsametime.Thewriteremphasizedthelaw,theremovalofidolatry,andtherestorationofthe temple and
Jehovahworship.
Since Israel had no such religious revivals, the book of Chronicles deals almost solely with the rulers of Judah.
The primary purpose of these historical records was to justify God’s punishment of these nations. The kings of Judah were
judged in accordance with the promise God made to David (2 Samuel 7:12-16). Whereas those kings of the northern kingdom
were condemned because they continued in the sin of Jeroboam who caused them to sin by introducing the golden calves for
them to worship (1 Kings 15:34; 16:18-19,26,31; 22:52; etc.).
A second purpose was to show how ineffective human governments were, and point to the need of a righteous king
whom God would send as sovereign over all (2 Samuel 7:16; Psalm 45:6-7
