Use this guide to help your family worship and reflect through the week.
You may go through this in any order you wish.
Reinforce this truth throughout the week and during your study.
God's people should obey and share God's word, the Bible.
Read the passage to or with your children.
1 Samuel 1;3
Memorize and recite this verse with your children throughout the week.
"Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son."
- Hebrews 1:1-2
Watch with your children.
Take time with your family to discuss these questions (or variations of these questions) together, and reflect on this week’s truth and Word.
1. QUESTION: What made Hannah cry and cry? Whom did she cry out to for help? What can we learn from her? Does God always give us what we ask for?
TAKEAWAY: God doesn't say yes to every prayer we pray, but, like Hannah, we should bring our requests to him.
2. QUESTION: How did Samuel respond when he first heard God's voice? What did God call Samuel to do? How should we respond to what God tells us to do in his word
TAKEAWAY: Like Samuel, we should listen to and obey the word of God.
3. QUESTION: How did Samuel hear from God? What is the main way that God talks to us today?
TAKEAWAY: God speaks to us through his word, the Bible.
4. QUESTION: Who did Samuel tell the things the messages that God spoke to him? What are some things that we have learned about God? How can we be like Samuel when we learn new things about God?
TAKEAWAY: We should tell others what we learn about God and his Son from the Bible.
