Discussion Questions:

Old Testament

• Is it fair to say the book of Ecclesiastes is pessimistic. See, for example, Ecclesiastes 1:2-4.
• We serve a “God of Love.” So how do we reconcile Ecclesiastes 3:3 and 8: “[there is] a time to kill;” and “a time to hate?”

New Testament

• What does it mean to be an “ambassador for Christ?” Is this term reserved for full time clergy, or does it apply to all believers, more generally? 2 Corinthians 5:20.

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?
