"Waiting and Enjoying" Sermon Questions
1. What part of the passage or sermon grabbed your heart in a new way and why?
2. How do you initially respond to this quote by Dr. Zack Eswine, "Because we are committed to arrange life the way we want it and to avoid what we do not prefer, many of us remain inflexible and unskilled in this wisdom [i.e., Ecc 3:1-8] of seasons." Describe one or two ways that your heart battles with being "inflexible" and "unskilled".
3. " We try to control others to stay within the seasonal behaviors that we most prefer...." Where and how do you struggle with that?
4. Why is it hard to learn things in the moment when you aren't prepared? How does the Preacher's teaching in this chapter prepare us for what is ahead?
5. How can the Preacher's teaching on time in this passage help us as we relate with our neighbors?
6. How do the apostle Paul's words in 2 Cor 6:10 summarize this section of Ecclesiastes? What grace does this summary offer you?
7. Describe one worldly admiration with which your heart battles. How does that show itself in your daily life? What are some practical steps you can take this week to develop godly awe in your heart?
