2 Samuel 18-20 | Blessed Expendability (Aaron O'Kelley)

Sermon 21 of 25 in Series through 1-2 Samuel ________________________________________ SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS: 2 SAMUEL 18-20 1. How can parental affection sometimes lead to compromise? How can we who are parents (or may become parents in the future) guard ourselves from allowing affection for our children to lead us astray? 2. David's emotional response to the death of Absalom is presented negatively in this story. How can we guard ourselves from being led by our emotions in way that is contrary to truth? 3. Joab, a wicked man, surprisingly plays the role of deliverer multiple times in these chapters. How does God's surprising way of working to advance his purposes bring comfort and encouragement to you? How might it guide you in prayer? 4. What is the difference between wanting our lives to count on our terms vs. God's terms, and how should that difference affect our lives? 5. Was there anything else from the sermon that you found insightful or encouraging that you want to discuss?
