Help Me Teach the Bible: Ryan Kelly on 1 Samuel
Nancy Guthrie | October 29, 2015
In this two-part episode of Help Me Teach the Bible I talk with Ryan Kelly, pastor for preaching at Desert Springs Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he recently taught through the book of 1 Samuel. Kelly calls 1 Samuel a “hinge book” between the time of the judges and the establishment of the kingship in Israel. Topics include:
- The prayer of Hannah that extends beyond what has been revealed and provides a table of contents for the book
- The problem with Israel’s desire for a king
- David’s speeches in the David and Goliath story
- What Jonathan reveals about true conversion
- Three decapitations
- Warnings for us in the sin of Saul
Here are some additional audio resources you may find helpful on 1 Samuel:
