Summary

As we begin the Royal Kingdom period, we hear about the first king of Israel, Saul. We discover that though Saul looks like a fearless warrior, he has a major flaw. Fr. Mike also points out the significance of the readings from Proverbs. Today's readings are 1 Samuel 9-10 and Proverbs 6:23-35.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast,
0:07.3	where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a
0:11.5	year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way
0:16.3	from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into
0:20.7	that story today. It is day 106, and we just concluded seven days. Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that
0:20.9	story today. It is day 106, and we just concluded seven days of reading the Gospel of John,
0:26.7	which is such a gift. I know at the same time, reading through the Gospel of John in seven days
0:30.9	means that we had quite a lot of content with not a lot of commentary, which is probably okay,
0:35.8	because the most important part of this podcast
0:38.3	is the actual scripture being proclaimed. But this is, as I said, day 106, we're going into the
0:42.8	royal kingdom. So we left off with 1 Samuel 6 through 8, and then we took a seven-day break
0:48.5	with the gospel of John. Now we're entering into the period of the royal kingdom. We're going to be
0:52.9	introduced to Saul today in 1st Samuel chapter 9 and 10. We're also reading from the period of the royal kingdom. We're going to be introduced to Saul today in
0:54.5	1 Samuel chapter 9 and 10. We're also reading from the book of Proverbs, like we did the last couple
0:59.3	days, Proverbs chapter 6 versus 23 through 35. As always, the Bible translation that I'm reading from
1:05.9	is the revised standard version, second Catholic edition. I am using the great adventure Bible from
1:10.0	Ascension. If you want to download your own Bible in a year reading plan you can visit ascension press.com slash bible in a year
1:15.8	you can also subscribe to this podcast by clicking subscribe and wherever you're listening to your
1:20.2	podcast as i said it is day 106 and it is an incredible gift to not only have been given a week
1:26.8	seven days of the gospel of John,
1:29.3	but also to come back and to be in this new time period, period of the royal kingdom,
1:33.6	as we read 1 Samuel, chapter 9 and 10 in Proverbs, chapter 6, verses 23 through 35.
