Let’s Talk Notes – Week of June 2, 2013
Message: Godly leadership in difficult times
Scripture: 1 Samuel 8:1-9
1) If you could change anything about yourself, what would you change?
2) As you reflect back on last weekend’s sermon, what one principle or insight stands out as being particularly helpful, insightful or difficult to grasp? Were you challenged in any area of your personal walk with God?
3) In what areas do you lead? How have you dealt with the responsibility of leadership? How have you been challenged in developing as a leader?
4) Read Hebrews 12:5-11. The writer says that “No discipline seems pleasant at the time.” Why do believers shy away from discipline and correction? Why is it important for leaders to not only influence but also to correct? How have you dealt with situations where the Lord has corrected you either by his Word or by Godly leadership? Read Hebrews 4:12.
5) How have you been affected by the effective or ineffective leadership of others? What were the responsibilities of Samuel, Samuel’s sons, and the Elders of Israel in leading the nation? What was the motivation of each of these leaders?
6) How can you improve the way that you lead others? Share one of these items with the group.
