Discussion Questions:[2. The discussion notes are now online.]

Old Testament

  1. Why did Rehoboam reject the advice of the old counselors to deal gently with his people? 2 Chronicles 10:1–15.
  2. Does the story of Asa in 2 Chronicles 16:12 mean we should seek healing from God, rather than from doctors?

New Testament

  1. Is salvation really as simple as Paul makes it sound? Romans 10:9.
  2. Romans 12:16 (KJV) says we should “Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate.” Does this mean we should not associate with rich people? If so, how are we supposed to succeed in business, if we only associate with poor people?
