Have you ever looked back on your life—or your family’s story—and wondered, What does it all mean? Maybe there are parts you’re proud of and others you wish could be rewritten. Maybe you’re trying to make sense of your past so you can walk faithfully into your future.
That’s what 1 Chronicles is all about.

And as the book unfolds, we’re brought back to King David—but this time with new focus. Less on his sins. More on his worship. Less on the politics. More on the presence of God.
✍️ Why 1 Chronicles Still Speaks
