![]() In addition, I have served for ten years as a discussion/group leader and two years as a children’s leader. BSF has also been a mainstay in my role as mother, with my children participating from the time they were two until they graduated from the senior level in the school program. When it came to matters of BSF, I was ALL-in, as I committed wholeheartedly to learning, growing, serving. I thought I would grow old and die in BSF. At that time, I was in my late 20s with superficial Bible knowledge at best, BSF served as the tool which God has used to teach me the Scriptures, and more importantly to grow my relationship with Him. Susie Rowan (BSF executive director) writes in the introduction that she and her friend Steve Graves created this eBook “to help us all prepare and begin to apply the timeless truths we will unpack throughout this upcoming study.” The following pages seek to examine, chapter by chapter, the content of A Faithful Legacy against the truths of Scripture.

New to our BSF study content: Jeremiah and Lamentations!.The study of Isaiah is folded into a four-week segment.Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah are situated where they fit into Israel’s storyline.Here’s how next year’s People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided study unfolds: These stories and prophetic messages from centuries ago resonate with deep meaning for our lives today. The warning of coming judgment rings true today. His passionate plea for our hearts continues. We fight the same battles, and we stand before the same God. We also live in a culture in which most people ignore or reject God to live as they choose. We still struggle against idols that steal the devotion of our hearts that only God deserves. On our own, we prefer self-rule over submission to God. God sent prophet after prophet with a call for repentance and consistent warnings of judgment if the people failed to forsake their idols and return to Him. As God’s people persisted in rebellion, His passionate call for their undivided loyalty as His covenant people continued. The succession of kings in both kingdoms offers lessons about the futility of resisting God alongside the blessing of seeking Him. The nation split into two kingdoms, Israel and Judah. In our study, People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided, we start with a reminder of Israel’s important role in God’s plan and review how Solomon ended his reign in costly compromise. ![]() Next year’s study shines the spotlight on God’s sovereign plan through human history leading up to His promised Messiah.

We read and study familiar passages and books, but we also trust God to unite and inspire us as we navigate the less familiar portions within our Bible. We embrace the wonder and challenges of studying God’s Word together.
