  1. What is at stake for Israel in this story?
  2. Why is Abijah’s Uncle mentioned? What does it say about Saul? What is Saul doing that aligns with ‘glory gone’?
  3. How are Jonathan and Saul compared? What is the heart of the difference between the two? How do we observe Saul’s spirituality decaying? How much of Saul do you find in your own life?
  4. How do we apply this story to our lives? Take time this week to discern which voices you are listening too. When Jesus called his disciples, how did he evoke this story?
  5. What must we believe about God to apply this story to our living?
