Sermon: The Blessing of God - God's Purpose from the Beginning

Questions:
1. Have you ever been selected for an important role (e.g. a captain of a team, a manager of a department, etc.)? How did it feel to be chosen? Did you have a good experience?
2. How does it make you feel to realize that God has chosen you and given you the same calling to be a blessing that He gave to Abraham?
3. What do you remember about each of the main points of the sermon? (seen above). What in the sermon challenged you? Do you have any questions to bring up?
4. Many people in the Bible were called by God to be a blessing. Pick a few people from the list below and compare their “calling stories.” What was each person being called to do? How did God get their attention? How did they respond? How did God ultimately use them to be a blessing?

5. Read 2 Kings 7:3-11 (the context of this story is that in the days of Elisha the prophet, the city of Samaria was put under siege and its people were starving)
a) How do you think these four men felt when they made their big discovery?
b) What was their first instinct?
