Day 126: David's Victories (2024)
Fr. Mike emphasizes how King David's victories in battle are part of his calling to establish Israel as a kingdom. He also reminds us that the recapitulation of the events we read about 1 Chronicles 10-11, is not repetitive, it served a specific purpose for the people of Israel. Today we read 2 Samuel 8, 1 Chronicles 10-11 and Psalm 60.

Customer Reviews
Continuous gift
What a gift! Thank you Ascension Press and Father Mike! This is my third year journeying with you and this community. This podcast has been life-changing and is such an accessible way to learn about the Bible.
Thank you Father Mike and Jeff Cavins
What a blessing it is to be on this journey through the Bible. Thank you Father Mike for the way you lead us and read through God’s Word, even when the chapters or even entire books are tough. Absolutely love the messianic checkpoints with Jeff Cavins. I wished somebody would’ve explained the Bible to me like this when i was younger. I’m listening from Switzerland and i cannot wait for the notification for tomorrow’s episode will be on my phone screen. By the way, this is my second trip around the sun with the Bible in a year and Father Mike….and every day I am learning more and more about God’s character.
Was für ein Segen!
Ich bin so dankbar für den Bible in a Year Podcast und kann es allen einfach nur wärmstens empfehlen, auch denjenigen deren Englisch nicht die eigene Muttersprache ist. Die Bibelstellen kann man natürlich in der eigenen Sprache lesen und den Kommentar im Original hören. Es ist so ein Geschenk!
