The Big Idea: __________________________________________________________

Discussion Questions

1. How involved was your dad in training you, disciplining you, and providing structure? What effect has that had on you? …on your own parenting?

2. There are 11 "scenes" in 2 Samuel 13-some quite disturbing, some possibly paralleling our own lives. What is the one question you would most like to ask David about the way he fathered, and why?

3. How much responsibility do we bear for the conduct of our children?

4. Given the message and discussions, do you see anything you want to do differently and, if so, what is it?
