LIFEgroup Discussion Questions October 15, 2017 Exalting God To The Next Generation Part 2 Text: 1 Samuel 2-3 1. What has happened leading up to now Samuel ministering to the Lord in Shiloh before Eli the priest (2.11)? What has Hannah and Samuel experienced (answer: God’s grace)? 2. How did Eli’s son’s not value the grace of God (2.12-17; 22)? How did Eli not value the grace of God (2.23-29)? As a result, what was the consequence of their actions (2.30-36)? 3. How do we see Hannah valuing and celebrating the grace of God? First with the offering (1.2425)? Then with her prayerful song (2.1-10)? Then with her visits to Samuel (2.19-21)? How do we see Samuel valuing, growing and walking in God’s grace (2.11, 18, 26; 3.7)? What is the consequence in his life (3.19-21)? 4. In what ways do we use the bible as a rule book instead of as the “good news”? Does you love of the gospel change the way you parent? If not, how could it? 5. What does the law of God do and teach us? Why is it important as parents and children to learn the proper place of the law? 6. Ultimately what is the goal of parenting? What is the fruit of dependence? What should motivate out obedience and that of our children?

Pray.
