SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION:

• What stands out from this week’s message?

• Read 1 Samuel 16:1-13 and discuss/review key themes.

• God doesn’t look at appearance, but sees the heart. How does

living in an appearance-driven world contradict the way Jesus

viewed others?

• God loves to choose the unexpected underdog. Is there a time

God worked through unexpected people in your life?

• God’s anointing is by his Holy Spirit. What is the role of Spirit in your

life? What does it mean that the same Spirit that anointed David is welcomed to you today?
