Let’s Talk Notes – Week of May 12, 2013
Message: How Do You Regard the Lord?
Scripture: 1 Samuel 2:1-12
1) What is a memorable moment that you had with your mother?
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) What does it mean to hold the Lord in high regard? What does it mean to have no regard for the Lord? How can you distinguish the two? How does our view of God affect how we live our life?
4) Hannah did not struggle with giving Samuel to the Lord even though it was a very personal sacrifice. Has the Lord ever asked for something that was difficult to give up? How did you respond? Did you experience fruitfulness when you honored God with your sacrifice?
5) Hannah instilled in her son some very important lessons about the character of God. List some of the things that Hannah taught Samuel about God. What lessons have your parents and mentors in the faith taught you about God?
6) Read Romans 1:25. The Lord rebuked Eli for “honoring his sons more than God.” It is easy to become unbalanced with God’s blessings (family, possessions, and relationships). How do we prioritize our relationship with God so that we honor him above all things?
