Here's how the study works:
Read the chapter mentioned in the heading several times during the week and share any words, thoughts, verses that stood out to you. Having a week for a chapter creates the opportunity to reread it several times and make additional comments as you feel inclined as well as make comments on other people's insights.

v.25 As John was completing his work...
v.36 Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation...
John the Baptist and David completed the tasks God gave them to do. Vastly different tasks but both God initated tasks. Not always done perfectly but completed nevertheless. It is possible to complete the tasks God gives us.
v.48 When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.
I read this in Constable's Commentary on this verse:
"Once again the human responsibility of believing is shown to coincide exactly with what God in his Sovereignity had planned" (Kent).
We mustn't discount human responsibility.
v.22 After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’
What a testimony - he will do everything I want him to do.
