"Sharing GOD's Blessings" - 1 Samuel 30:16-25

Text: 1 Samuel 30:16-25

Title: Sharing God’s Blessings

Quote: God is willing and able to see us through every battle!

Points:

I. Recovering What Was Lost ( vv. 16-20)

II. Sharing What Was Gained ( vv. 21-25)

Application:

1. How much do you rely on the faithfulness of God? If we rely on God’s

faithfulness, then why are we often discouraged during trials and

tribulations?

2. What did you learn from the Lord’s Recovery Doctrine?

3. What did you learn from our discussion on criticism?

4. Do you think you would have fallen into the category of the wicked and

worthless saint- who didn’t believe in sharing equally?

5. What did you learn from our discussion on sharing? ( i.e. Sharing blessings

w/others will never lead to deprivation; We can never out give God; A

hoarded blessing won’t ever be enjoyed as richly as a shared one; God

meets our needs so that we can pass His blessings on to others, etc.)

6. What did you learn from our discussion on “Magnifying the Lord”?
