Peaks and Valleys is a six-week Bible study designed to help readers discover how the life of David points to Jesus and the greater story of the gospel. Through David’s victories, struggles, failures, suffering, and faith, this study explores how God was at work through every season of his life and how those same truths can bring encouragement and deeper understanding to our own highs and lows. Readers will learn how to better connect Old Testament Scripture to Christ, understand biblical typology, explore David’s role as king, and recognize how his story reveals our need for the true and perfect King, Jesus. Each week includes five days of study material along with thoughtful daily questions, making it a wonderful choice for both individual study and small groups. Throughout the six weeks, readers will explore powerful themes including God’s faithfulness, salvation, covenant, suffering, victory, mercy, justice, providence, the promised Messiah, and more. The study also includes helpful resources such as a guide to studying the Bible, an Attributes of God chart, a Scripture timeline, the metanarrative of Scripture, maps of 1 & 2 Samuel, a “True and Better” chart, a chiasm example, and weekly Psalm readings. Peaks and Valleys is an encouraging and Scripture-rich study for anyone wanting to understand the Bible more deeply, see Jesus throughout Scripture, and recognize God’s faithfulness in every season of life.
