ASSIGNMENT #1 – February 2026

Welcome to Kings Academy!  You are about to begin a biblical study that will take you through the reigns of the kings of Judah.  Over these next several months we will be examining the reigns of the kings of Judah to see what contributed to their success or failure as king.  Each month you will be given a reading assignment and study questions.  You will have the entire month to read the assignment and complete the questions.  

Your FIRST assignment begins in Deuteronomy.  The reason we're beginning our study in the book of Deuteronomy is because in Deuteronomy God gives Israel advice on how their rulers (judges, kings) should rule.  Therefore, this month you're asked to read...
Deuteronomy 1:9-17
Deuteronomy 16:18-20
Deuteronomy 17


As you read these verses, pay SPECIAL attention to Deuteronomy 17:14-20.  In these verses, Moses lists the qualifications of Israel's future kings.  It's sort of a "Job Description" for those who will appointed king in Israel.  As you read through this list of qualifications, answer the following questions:

  1. Why do you think God chose these qualifications?  In your opinion, what is God mostly concerned about?
  2. Was there any requirement(s) that you were surprised was on this list?  Why?
  3. Was there any requirement(s) that you were surprised was NOT on this list?  Why?

You have approximately 4 weeks to read this assignment and complete the questions.  However, It's important that you spend time EACH WEEK reading the assignment.  Reading the same passages multiple times is what helps to produce inspiration.  This will help you to be able to engage with other men in your group at the end of the month.

Your group leaders will reach out to you sometime this month via text or email (or both).  Please check your email and phone regularly so you won't miss out on any important information regarding your meeting time and date.  If you've signed up for the Academy, but have not heard from your group leader by the MIDDLE of this month, please send us a short email at tn4kapnupes@gmail.com.
