Question #1 Has someone ever spoken into your life and made you feel like you could do more or be more than you thought at the time? (teacher, friend, leader etc) What was like that for you?

Question #2 Did this experience SHAPE what you did next? Why or why not?

THE WORD

Read 1 Samuel 15:10-24 Question #3What part of this scripture stands out to you first – WHY?

Question #4Discuss our Christian culture – what might stand in the way of us being “obedient to God” – completely?

Question #5What strategies can we set into place to ensure we are listening and responding to God’s instructions?

Read 1 Samuel 16:1-13Question #6 Has God ever “called you” directly? Explain what that was like for you.ORHas God ever challenged you to examine an “inner working” that He wanted to transform in you (Eg: dealing with pride or fear)? What was that journey like for you?

Question #7Have you ever had a chance to speak a word/picture/scripture into someone else’s life. What was that like?

CONCLUSION & PRAYER

Consider - what ways you might feel called to ARISE right now in your ordinary life? What is something NEW you could do in your faith that you haven’t done before?

Share with your group one way you’d like to see God transform something in your “ordinary” life…and pray for one another.
