Part of the “100 Characters” curriculum for small groups, the “100 Characters for Small Groups” part 2 is a series of lessons about the notable characters the Bible has recorded during the time of kings, exile, and return to the homeland. During this time period the prosperity and deterioration of the Israelite nation was influenced greatly by the faith, lifestyle, and leadership of their kings – those they demanded to have so that they could be like the peoples around them. During this period, the Bible also writes about the prophets, full of God’s grace and anointed by Him to proclaim many messages of warning and love, messages to build up and to tear down, and messages of restoration for the people. As we study we will be able to clearly see the way God reveals His righteousness and love.
You can use this material for self-study or self-research, and at the same time work together with your small group during your process of maturing in the faith. This community of faith around you certainly will have those to model this faith for you, those to encourage you, those to teach you, and friends for you to encourage each other as you chase after your goal of pressing forward in God.
