Lessons from three specific people in the books of 1 & 2 Samuel - Seth Bourne

The things in the Old Testament were written for our benefit. When God's Word spends more time talking about a person, we need to pay attention. See how three specific people in the books of Samuel show us an important lesson about ourselves. Sermon Questions: 1 & 2 Samuel1. Read 1 Samuel 8:1-7. Why were the people so desperate for a king? How did their request come back to bite them? Have you ever asked for something that came back to bite you?2. King Saul cared more about pleasing people than God. How much is people pleasing a struggle for you? How do you balance between serving and not depending too much on what others think of you? 3. Why was king David a man after God's own heart even though he committed many awful sins (adultery, murder, etc.)?4. How can/should you be more like David?
