Discuss
1. Eventually, God rises up against the profane.
- What was wrong about the way the Israelites were treating the ark of God?
- How seriously are you taking God in your life right now?
- In what ways do we profane (cheapen or lessen) the glory of God today?
2. Ultimately, God vindicates himself.
- "The Lord’s judgment always paves the way for renewal and restoration for his people." How is God's judgement a good thing for his people?
- What can we expect when God brings final judgement to the earth?
3. Always, only the Lord can save us.
- Read 1 Samuel 7:3-4
- Why is important to remember that redemption is both an individual and a corporate reality?
- How does Samuel's ministry as a priest point to Jesus ministry as our great high priest? Read Hebrews 7:25
Next Steps
- What would it look like for you to take God more seriously in your life?
- Discuss how God's kindness leads us to repentance and prepares us for his coming judgment.
- Pray as a group for a deeper since of the weight of God's glory and for a life that is worthy of Him.
