Topic: Land and Kingdom
Scripture:

God brings His people, through their leader Joshua, into the promised land. When God’s people worship the gods of the nations surrounding them, God disciplines them through the attacks of surrounding nations. God raises up judges (or rulers) to rescue His people and call them to repentance. They beg for a king to be like other nations, and God gave them Saul. God raises up a new king, David, and promises that his kingdom will never end. The family that turned into a nation is now a kingdom. David’s son, Solomon builds a  temple to replace the tabernacle.

God pursues Abraham, a man from an idol-worshiping family who has no children with his wife, and promises that he will be the father of many nations.

He restates the promise to Abraham’s son Isaac and grandson Jacob (who is renamed Israel).
