To Obey Is Better Than Sacrifice
Preacher: Jonny Smart Series: 1 Samuel—Preparing for a King Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:1–35
Reflection Questions
1. Jonny talked about the fear of making your christianity too “extreme”...but then challenged us to do just that. What are ways that you can make your christianity more “extreme”?
2. A portion of the sermon was surrounding pride. “If the devil can’t make you disobedient, he’ll make you proud of your obedience.” Where do you see pride creep into your life? Why is this so damaging?
3. Have you considered that the Lord will test you? What are ways that the Lord has tested your faith?
4. How do we listen to the voice of the Lord over the voice of the people?
5. Have you believed the lie that the harm done to you has been forgotten? What is the truth about this?
