TODAY:

Unlikely Heroes | Part 10 – Hannah: Bless This Mess

BIG IDEA:

God is the Rock that is the foundation for our hope

SCRIPTURES:

1 Samuel 1-3

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

Q: What is something you really want in life right now? How is that desire affecting your life & relationship with God?

Q: How do the Scriptures/concepts from this week help you grow as a disciple who loves God, loves people & serves the world (lives on incarnational mission) in everyday life?

Q: Based on these Scriptures, how can you move from unbelief to belief, from just knowing to actually doing in your life?

Be With Jesus / Love God (UP)...

Q: Hannah kept showing up with God. Her pain drove her to Him. Do your struggles & pain typically drive you to God or away from Him? Why?

Q: Hannah held nothing back from God. Do you feel the freedom to be completely honest with God?

Q: Hannah also held nothing back from God & gave the very answer to her prayer back to Him. Is there anything in your life you’re holding back?

Become Like Jesus / Love People (IN)...

Q: We don’t know exactly how Hannah responded to Peninnah’s harassment, but it’s clear she took it to God. Are there any situations or relationships you need to take to God to find hope with?

Do What Jesus Did / Serve the World (OUT)...

Q: It doesn’t take much to see that the world around us desperately tries to find its foundation & hope on all sorts of “rocks”. How can you demonstrate what it looks like to build our lives on & around God?

ACTION STEPS

1) What is something Jesus is calling you to cry out to Him for, to surrender to Him, or to trust Him with?
