"You Will Be Safe With Me"

In the face of the uncertainty of life, what assurance does Jesus give us? Join us this Sunday at CrossWinds Church in Spencer as we consider the answer from 1 Samuel.

Sermon Discussion

1. What is one highlight from the sermon and one question that you had after hearing the sermon?
2. Read 1 Samuel 22:6–8. What tactics does Saul use in order to gain loyalty from his servants? Do you see any similarities with the ways that Satan tempts us today?
3. Read 1 Samuel 22:18–19; 1 Samuel 2:30–36. How is God’s word fulfilled in the events of 1 Samuel 22? 
4. Read Acts 2:23; Genesis 50:15–21. How does God use the desires of the evil to accomplish good?
5. Read Revelation 12:12. What comfort does this passage provide even when we are faced with hardship and trials?
6. Read 1 Samuel 22:23; Romans 8:31–39. Are we safe with Jesus? Why is this sometimes hard to believe?
7. What might it look like for you to apply this text to your life this coming week?

Vision Discussion

8. We want to be a church completely committed to reaching people with Jesus. This passage reminds us of the very real opposition the people of God will face in this world while on mission for the gospel. Take some time to pray for the global church to be strengthened as they face trials for the name of Jesus.

Transformation Stories

9. Take some time as a group to share stories of how you have seen God at work in your life or the lives of others. Alternatively, take turns sharing your testimony with your group to celebrate God’s saving and transformative work in your life.
