Focus: 1 Samuel 17:50-53 (NIV) The One Thing: What you did then matters less than what you do now. Know K1 Think of a memory that causes you to cringe. Grow G1 What did God say to you through the service / message today? G2 What stood out to you through Hudson’s testimony? G3 Do you identify more with David in 1 Samuel 17:5—53 or with the Israelite soldiers? Why do you think this is? G4 In the light of 1 John 2:1-2, what did Dan mean when he said “What you do now matters more than what you did then?” G5 Imagine you were one of the soldiers in verse 52 and 53: as a soldier witnessing David’s victory and the Philistines’ retreat, how did seeing God’s power through David change your faith or perspective on God's ability to deliver His people from seemingly impossible situations? G6 David was young when he defeated Goliath, yet he set a powerful example for the entire nation of Israel. In light of 1 Timothy 4:12, how can you, regardless of your age, set an example for others in your faith and actions, especially when facing challenges or "giants" in your life? Show S1 Meditate on 1 Samuel 17:47 and pray for David’s confidence to face whatever is coming next.

G2 How does David's anointing by Samuel symbolize a shift in Israel's future, and what might this foreshadow about David's reign? G3 What lessons can we learn from God’s command to Samuel to look beyond outward appearances when selecting David as king? G4 How does the concept of middle knowledge, which suggests that God knows all possible outcomes of human free will decisions, relate to God's statement in 1 Samuel 16:7 about looking at the heart rather than outward appearances when choosing David as king? Show S1 In Mark 4:26-34 and 2 Corinthians 5:15-17 how are we given more insight into how God sees things?

Scripture: 1 Samuel 8:4-20; 11:14-15 Know K1 Imagine if God set up a forcefield to prevent us ever doing anything sinful? How would this world operate? What would it look like? Grow G1 Why did the Israelites demand a king despite Samuel's warnings and God's guidance up to that point? What does this reveal about their relationship with God and their understanding of leadership? G2 Samuel outlines several negative consequences of having a king, including conscription, forced labor, and taxation (1 Samuel 8:11-18). Why do you think the Israelites were willing to accept these potential consequences? How does this reflect human nature or societal pressures? G3 How does God’s response to Israel’s request for a king (1 Samuel 8:7-9) reflect His understanding of human free will and His role as their divine leader? What can we learn from God’s willingness to grant their request despite knowing it wasn't in their best interest? G4 Scot McKnight discusses the transition from a theocracy to a monarchy in the biblical narrative. How does this transition reflect the changing dynamics of Israel’s relationship with God and human leaders? G5 How do the issues and concerns raised in 1 Samuel 8 regarding the desire for a human leader compare to modern-day leadership and governance? What lessons can contemporary societies draw from this biblical narrative about the nature of leadership and the expectations of those who are led? Show S1 Who is (or has been) your Samuel: someone that God has used to speak truth or warning into your life? How have you responded?

Scripture: 1 Samuel 3 Discussion Questions Know K1 Who do you most identify with in today’s account in 1 Sam 3 (or chapter 1 and 2)? What is the key verse in 1 Sam 3? Grow G1 Briefly scan 1 Samuel 1-2. What dysfunctions you can identify in Samuel’s life / surroundings? Which of these do you think would have impacted him the most? G2 1 Sam 2:12-17, 22-23 Reflect on Hophni and Phinehas’ (Eli’s sons) sins. What impact do you think their actions might have had on the attitude of people around them to God? How do you think Samuel was able to keep himself unpolluted (v18)? G3 Do you know anyone who has been hurt by people in authority (including leaders in the church)? Why is it so detrimental our spiritual life when someone in spiritual authority misuses us? G4 1 Sam 3:3. What is the meaning or importance (if any) of the phrase: “The lamp of the Lord had not yet gone out”? G5 What do you make of the idea that Eli taught Samuel to hear God, only for Samuel to hear a message of judgment on Eli and his sons? What does Eli’s response in verse 17 tell us about Eli’s state of mind? G6 Eli taught Samuel to listen to God even while Eli was morally compromised and under judgment. Take some time to think whether you would listen to, or learn from, someone who you knew wasn’t obeying God. Show S1 Tell God all about your dysfunction. And seek his unction (anointing).

Not without him. Scripture: Romans 8:15-17 Discussion Questions Know K1 What did God say to you through the service / message today? Grow G1 Romans 8:17 | Dan explained that the conditional “suffer with Christ” isn’t just about “suffering just as Christ suffered” but also refers to allowing Christ into YOUR suffering as in “suffer WITH Christ instead of without him”. How does this impact how you view suffering? G2 How do you understand this connection between suffering and glory? How can this perspective on suffering influence the way you face challenges and hardships in your life? G3 Why do you think Paul uses the term "Abba, Father" to describe our relationship with God? How does this intimate term for God influence your understanding of your relationship with Him? G4 What implications does being "heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ" have for Christians today? How does this inheritance shape the way you view your life and your future? Show S1 Have you ever told God the darkest moment of YOUR life? Why not try it?
