Discussion Questions for Sermon Series David – Week 4

1. Talk about a leader, boss, or coach that was influential in your life. What was it about that person that made him or her influential?

    

2. Read 1 Samuel 16:7. To what extent do you think our culture looks at outward appearance as a qualification for leadership instead of the heart?

    

3. Talk about a time when you were given authority and didn’t lead well. What happened?

    

4. During the message, Jon said that when we wield authority, it should be based on God’s will, God’s way, and in God’s time. Do you agree? Why or why not?

    

5. Read John 13:3–15. If you had been in that room with Jesus and his disciples, how do you think you would have responded to what Jesus did? Why would you have responded that way?

    

6. In what area of your life do you currently have authority? What is one thing you can do this week to leverage your power for the benefit of the people you lead? How can this group support you?
