IDENTITY SERIES - Part 1: What's Inside Matters More  

Key Verse: 1 Samuel 16: 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”  

Reflective Questions:  

1. Why do you think what’s on the inside matters more?  

2. What steps can you take to focus more on what’s inside us?  

3. Is there something about you that you are grateful that the Lord did not look at when he chose to call you? (Reflect on this. You may choose to share this with others if you are comfortable).  

4. How can you intentionally choose to focus more on what’s inside others?  

5. What practical steps can you take to allow what’s inside to be reflected outside?
