A Christian response to overwhelming crisis

Muriithi speaks briefly to the situation in Kenya under Covid-19, and challenges us from 1 Samuel 14 to step out in faith in times of crisis.

Life Group questions

A Christian response to overwhelming crisis

Read 1 Samuel 14

Contrast the attitudes of Jonathan and Saul – what do you notice?

Do you think that saying, “…perhaps God will act on our behalf…” and going for it is a good rule for life? What context does this kind of approach require?

Muriithi said that waiting for a guarantee only guarantees you will miss the opportunity. Have you experienced this? When have you had to step out with incomplete information? What happened?

What need do you see today that you could begin to address, trusting that God is with you?
