"That the trial of your faith, being more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 1:7
Faith is: 1. Believing the promises of God (2 Peter 1:4). 2. Believing the eyewitnesses in Scripture (2 Peter 1:16). 3. Believing the voice of God (O.T.)." (2 Peter 1:17, 18) 4. Believing the prophecies of God." (2 Peter 1: 19)

THE UNITED KINGDOM: STUDY OF THE KINGS OF ISAEL: This study will cover the lives of Saul, David, and Solomon who were the kings of the “united kingdom of Israel” up until the division of the kingdom between Israel and Judah. Read through the weekly Scripture and notes.
Israel c. 975-722 B.C.; Judah c. 975-586 B.C.. All of the kings of the Northern Kingdom were evil. The Southern Kingdom had some good kings.
Beneath the debris of a Baal temple near Gezer, great numbers of jars were found that contained bones of babies which had been sacrificed. There was also evidence of “foundational sacrifices” in which A NEW HOUSE WAS BUILT CONTAINING A SACRIFICED CHILD’S BODY WHICH WAS BUILT INTO A WALL OF THE HOUSE. This was to ensure good luck for the rest of the family. Excavators also found many plaques of the goddess Ashtaroth. BAAL WAS THE PRIMARY PHOENICIAN GOD, and his counterpart was the goddess Ashtaroth. BAAL WORSHIP included animal sacrifices, ritualistic feasts to plead with Baal for bountiful harvests, and licentious dances. The places of worship were usually located on hilltops among groves of trees. The worship of Baal broke the commandment of God (Exod. 20:3) and God’s covenant (2 Chron. 7:17-22). God was not ignorant, nor indifferent to this.
