We'll be studying 1 Samuel 1-2:11. Here are the questions:
1 Samuel 1:1-28
1.) What are some other examples of women who experienced barrenness in scripture? What do these stories have in common and how do they compare to Hannah? c.f. Genesis 18:1-16, Genesis 25:21, Judges 13:1-31, Luke 1:5-25.
2.) How do you deal with unanswered questions in your life? How do you explain unanswered prayer?
3.) In 1 Sam 1:18 Hannah’s face is no longer downcast. What has happened and why is she no longer sad?
1 Samuel 2:1-11
4.) There are several “songs” in the Bible. How does Hannah’s song compare to Mary’s Song (Luke 1 46-55)
5.) What does it mean “It is not by strength that one prevails” in 1 Sam 2:9. c.f. Zechariah 4:6 Are there examples in your life where you have seen this demonstrated?
