Saul Leads Israel to Victory
Questions to consider:
- What does this passage teach you about God?
- What does this teach you about humanity and the world?
- In this chapter, Samuel calls the people of Israel to repentance; to turn away from idols and return to God. Why do you think it is so easy for us to turn away from God and seek after other things?
- Most of us are naturally forgetful. In 1 Samuel 7:12, Samuel sets up a stone as a remembrance of how God rescued Israel from the hands of the Philistines. When was a time that you remember God showing up in your life in a significant way? Write about it here as a way of remembering the goodness of God.
Let’s Pray:
Father, thank you for all the ways I’ve seen you move in my life and the lives of people around me. Help me to remember!

About this Plan
Picture this: a nation chosen by God; a prophet from an unlikely background to help show God’s ways to His people; a king whose fear and unfaithfulness bring disaster; and a man after God’s own heart who changed the nation of Israel forever. This is a story of God’s reign and rule, Israel’s choices and consequences, and two men’s different responses to God.
