Reading 1 Samuel during the week

This Sunday we’re beginning a new sermon series in 1 Samuel.  We’ll only be able to touch on key passages in our sermons so to really make the most of the series it would be well worth reading the intervening bits we won’t be covering on a Sunday.




To help you do that can I recommend you get a copy of “1 Samuel for You”? Available for £7.50 here. This book is perfect quiet time material: it’s expressly designed to get you chewing on the text and seeing how it applies to us as followers of Christ.  I’ve found it to be invaluable guide in preparing for the series.

Here’s a reminder of the plan for series so you know what to read each week…

May 22  1 Samuel 1:1-2:11  An upside down kingdom

May 29  1 Samuel 2:12-4:1  God on mute

June 5  1 Samuel 4-7  The heavy hand of God

June 12  1 Samuel 8  The God who is King

June 19  1 Samuel 9-12  The people’s choice

June 26  1 Samuel 13-16  A man after God’s own heart

July 3    1 Samuel 17  An unlikely deliverer
