Study
Three general questions for digging deeper:
- What does this text teach us about God?
- What does this text teach us about ourselves?
- If this text is true, what should we do to obey this teaching?
Questions from the Pastor specific to the November 8 sermon from Ecclesiastes 8:1-17:
Reread Ecclesiastes 8 and 1 Peter 2:11-17 and look at the following questions
1. Peter tells us to honor the emperor but fear God. What does it look like to respect earthly authorities without giving them the allegiance that belongs to Christ alone? Where do you find this tension difficult?
2. Why is it tempting to become cynical or even imitate wrongdoing when we see evil prosper and justice delayed? How does the promise of God’s ultimate justice help us continue doing good?
3. How does remembering that this world is not our ultimate home change the way we engage with its problems, enjoy its blessings, and respond to its disappointments?
4. How does knowing that Jesus reigns now and will return to make all things right give you confidence to live faithfully today? What is one practical way you can live this week in light of his coming kingdom?
