We know that King Saul eventually turned completely away from God because he felt God was no longer speaking to him. However this change wasn't sudden. Over time he has been moving further and further away from listening for God. When did this change start? Was it always in his nature to do his own thing without checking with God first?

Robert and Andrew read from 1 Samuel 13 and 14 and discuss Saul's nature from early on in his life as the King of God's people.

What does it mean that God knows everything? Does that influence what decisions we make? Are we even free to make decisions or is everything predestined by God's knowledge of the future?

The Bible has the answer to these questions and Andrew and Robert read and discuss 1 Samuel 23 to gain more knowledge on the subject.

The nation of Israel did not live up to the agreement that God had in mind for them through his agreement with Abraham or the commitment made with the people on Mt Sinai. But what lead to their ultimate downfall? What was it that made the people not complete their mission?

In 2 Kings 17 Robert and Andrew fine the reasons behind the downfall. What can we do, as God's people today, to avoid falling into the same trap?

Continuing on from Acts 9:22, Robert and Andrew finish the story of Saul's conversion to Paul of Tarshish. Or should we say God's conversion of Saul to Paul and the effect if had on the Jewish church and political leadership.

The conversion was so profound that it not only halted the persecution and killing of follower of the Way but Paul led to more to Christ, a net victory of the Lord.

Joshua had much faith in God. When he, Joshua, received instructions for the battle of Jericho he passed them on to the people without making any changes even though they seemed strange at first. March around a city to defeat it? That's not how army's normally fight! But Joshua knew that this wasn't his fight to win, it belonged to God.

What an odd statement for the Lord to say to Saul on the road to Damascus where Saul was eagerly going to harass, arrest and even participate in the killing of the Lord's people.  

What does that even mean, in Acts 9 where the voice from heave says, "...it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks."

Robert and Andrew read and discuss Acts 9:1-22

What about us today? Do we have the proper gratitude for what God has done for us or are we forgetting our history?
