1 Samuel Study - Week 2

Bible Reading for this Week: 1 Samuel 1:1 - 2:36

Lesson 2
Title: New Birth, New Beginning

Questions to focus on for this week:

1. Whom do you think the author wished to emphasize as the most important individual in this week's reading. How does he underscore this person's significance.
2. What might be the significance of how 1 Samuel begins with a look at two contrasting families? What point might the author be making about families and Israel's crisis?
3. What can the cases of Hannah's and Eli's sons teach us about a parent's responsibility for spiritual growth of children? How might modern parent's avoid Eli's rebuke?
4. God's judgement of Eli's family cancelled a promise he had made previously (2:30). How is the fulfillment of God's promises related to man's performance.
