discussion questions 3/15/26
Re-read 1 Samuel 9-10. What thoughts and questions come to mind as you read?
The sermon highlighted Saul's passivity despite his impressive outward appearance. In what areas of your spiritual life do you find yourself being passive rather than actively engaged?
How does pride manifest itself in spiritual passivity? Why might saying "I don't need a Savior" be connected to being passive in our faith?
The sermon emphasized that God interrupts our lives because He cares deeply about us. Can you identify a time when God interrupted your life in a way that seemed mundane at the time but proved significant later?
God gave Saul three detailed signs to assure him of his calling. When have you experienced God's assurance in specific, detailed ways? How did that impact your faith?
The sermon emphasized that God is often found "in the mundaneness of life" while we're "searching for donkeys." What mundane tasks or routines in your life might actually be divine appointments in disguise?
What was God telling you in this sermon? What are you going to do about it?
