How to Learn from History…...So You Don't Repeat It

Many of us grew up hearing that stories in the Old Testament were there to show us how to live. David’s story shows us how to lead. Solomon’s story shows us how to be wise. Gideon shows us how to pray. 

But biblically, far more often, these stories show us how not to live. 1 Corinthians tells us that these things were written down for our instruction, that we might not desire evil like they did.

So as followers of Jesus, how can we learn from Israel’s history…so we don’t repeat it?
