  1. Who are the first 3 God ordained kings of Israel?

  2. What are some differences between Saul & David?

  3. Who is Jonathan and what is his relationship with David?

  4. Read 1 Samuel 18:1-4, what is a soul? Is a soul eternal?  Why or why not?  Why do you think Jonathan would give his robe & armor to David?  Do you think Jonathan’s relationship with David might cause an issue with Jonathan’s father?

  5. If you share the gospel with someone and they act negativily/antagonistic/mocking, what are some of the ways you might be able to handle that situation?

  6. Read Proverbs 14:29, what are some ways that might help control our anger?

  7. Are we commanded in scripture to forgive? Why or why not?  Are there any cases where we do not have to forgive?

  8. Read Matthew 5:44-45, is loving your enemies optional if you are a follower of Jesus? What are some ways we can learn to love our enemies?

  9. Read 1 Samuel 18:5-9, has there been anything in your life that just seems to get under your skin? Is it ok to be angry?  Is it ok to be angry all the time?  Why or why not?

  10. What are some of the things going on in Saul’s life that might be causing the anger he shows in verse 9?

  11. Is there someone God has been impressing on you to forgive? Maybe someone who has done you wrong and you’ve been holding onto that pain. Forgiveness does not always mean reconciliation of the relationship.  Will you consider forgiving them this week?
