1sam c13

ice break question:

- write down 1 paragraph u most wanted to pray for at this moment, must be in detail sentence, just like a pray to God, not in point form (no need to share until the end of the word @ cell).....


Q1 What is Israel facing this time? (v2,5)

=> 約拿單 attack 非利士, 非利士 fight back with lots of soldiers (30k 戰車 + 6k 馬兵 + many 步兵)

How will u response when u are there? How are the Israel response to it? (v1,3-4,6)

=> Saul only has 3k 步兵 + many escaped and hide in 山洞 / deep forest.


Q2 What did Saul do @ this moment? v7-10

=> wait Samuel for 7 days while lots of his followers gone, so he put on the offering


Q3 what is in Saul's mind / explanation? v11-12

=> people are leaving;

=> Samuel are late;

=> worry without praying, 非利士 will come to attack

that's why he do the offering


Q4 Are those explanation reasonable, if not, what will u do?

What's Sam's comment and what do u think the issue is? v13-14

=> foolish cuz he did not follow God (on what?)

=> if follow -> remain as king for generation after generation;

=> now cuz not follow -> king position can't be long, another person will take it over


Q5. Isn't offering & praying right? why is Saul got in trouble?

What is offering / praying means to you? What's Saul's real issues?

Let's read the following scriptures: 1Sam 15:22-23, Heb 10:5-7, Mat 26:39

=> offering is a commitment to God that u willing to obey;

=> praying is to share our will at the same time accept the will of God over our will

=> Saul's issues is treating praying as spell to seek God's help to victory / offering as a signal of God's be with so people will gather towards him.


Q6 Let's share ur pray paragraph and let's discuss how u can improve it, less like Saul and more like an obey / follow pray.


Wrap up
