1 Samuel – Saul and David

Chapter 3

3:1-21 Make up and act out a dramatic story about the Lord’s call to Samuel. It might have 4 scenes: 3:1-10; 3:11-14; 3:15-18; 3:19-21.

3:1 What was happening ‘in those days’? How do you think ‘those days’ may be similar to now? How do you think ‘those days’ are different from now?

3:2-10 Put this story into your own words. What do you think about what was happening? Would you be more like Eli or more like Samuel?

3:11-14 What might you have been thinking if you had been Samuel? Write a word-picture of what the Lord told Samuel about Eli. Whom will God not forgive?

3:15-18 Imagine that you had been Samuel that day. Tell what happened in your own words. What do you think about all that?

3:19-21 Put this into your own words. What do you think about that?
