Text: 1 Samuel 1:3-18
1) What are the name of elkanah's wives and to which one did he give a double
portion?
2) Why was Hannah so Miserable?
3) Why do you believe Peninnah provoked Hannah so miserably?
4) When Hannah became so discouraged what did she do? (verse 7)
5) Who has been your biggest rival in your life?
6) Have you ever had a time when you received the double portion but it still
was not enough?
7) What was Hannah willing to give God and what are you willing to sacrifice?
(verse 11)
