Join hosts Ganel-Lyn Condie and John Fossum as they discuss impactful topics from this week’s Come, Follow Me lesson covering these chapters in 1st Samuel: 8-10, 13; 15-18. Explore these important themes, topics and questions:
Are we as a people sometimes known for “traditions of our fathers” instead of more important things?
Saul’s journey to become King
What are the Goliaths in your life?
What are the stones in your life that can help you face your Goliaths?
How has God healed you in the past? How does that knowledge give you faith that he can heal you in future days?
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Invitation:
Reflect on what it is that makes you stand out from others. Ponder if what you are known for aligns with the characteristics we associate with Christ.

Marvin J. Ashton Quote: “When the Lord measures an individual, He does not take a tape measure around the person’s head to determine his mental capacity, nor his chest to determine his manliness, but He measures the heart as an indicator of the person’s capacity and potential to bless others” (“The Measure of Our Heart,” Conference Report, Oct. 1988).
Spencer W. Kimball Quote: “Remember that every David has a Goliath to defeat, and every Goliath
can be defeated. He may not be a bully who fights with fists or sword or gun. He may not
even be flesh and blood. He may not be nine feet tall; he may not be armor-protected, but
every boy has his Goliaths. And every [girl] boy has his sling, and every [girl] boy has access to the brook with its smooth stones.” (“The Davids and the Goliaths,” Conference Report, Oct. 1974).
