Discussion Questions - Re-read our main passage from this week (Zechariah 5:1-11) and then with your Growth Group, family, friends, etc. thoughtfully answer the following:

1. What social evils are particularly common among God’s people today? Which are often tolerated?

2. How does Christ transform the concepts of God judging and purging sin among his people?

3. Do God’s promises of blessings and curses based on our obedience still stand today? Why or why not?

4. God’s judgment is certain and complete. Does this give you peace or dread?

5. How do you see God curtailing evil in the world today?

6. In what ways do you struggle with materialism? How do you know then the stuff you have “has” you?

7. What’s your next step in response to this message?

Memory verse for this series:
Zechariah 8:7-8
7 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country, and I will bring them to dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And they whall be my people, and I will be their God, in faithfulness and in righteousness.

ZECHARIAH: MOSAICS OF THE MESSIAH

Jon Kehrer, Old Testament and biblical languages professor at Ozark Christian College will help you to read the book of Zechariah to see different pictures of Jesus as revealed through this prophecy.
