Turning Back to Him – Search for Truth Series: Lesson 5, Episode 5 – “A Nation Divided, Then Restored”

In this episode of the Search for Truth Bible Study series, host Randy Abraham explores one of the most pivotal turning points in Israel’s history — the rise, fall, and restoration of God’s covenant people. From Joshua’s triumphs in Canaan to the eventual division of the kingdom, this lesson reveals how obedience brings victory, but disobedience leads to destruction.

Through this study, we’ll see how Israel’s demand for a king transformed their theocracy into a monarchy — and how pride, idolatry, and rebellion fractured what God had united. Yet, even in judgment, God’s mercy endured. The prophets foretold captivity, but they also promised restoration and hope for a coming Messiah.

This lesson reminds us that God’s covenant never fails — even when His people do. His desire is always to rebuild, restore, and renew those who return to Him.

Whether you’re walking through a season of rebuilding or seeking to strengthen your faith, this episode will help you see how God’s plan of redemption weaves through every chapter of history.

Follow along through this 12-lesson journey as we uncover the story of God’s unending faithfulness.
Listen, learn, and let the Word of God transform your life.
