DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. What was one thing about this message that you found particularly compelling, encouraging, challenging, or beneficial?
  2. Has there ever been a time or season in your life when you questioned Gods character? What happened? How did you move through that circumstance or season? What did you learn? What questions remain?
  3. Read and discuss the following Scriptures and the key statements from Pastor Aaron’s sermon: Ezekiel 5:11-15, 7:4 (God’s judgment is real) and Ezekiel 18:30-32, 33:11 (God does not delight in judgment.) What does this show us about the nature and character of God? What comforts or concerns arise for you?
  4. In what ways can we tend to overemphasize some character traits of God while under emphasizing others? In what ways do you tend to do this?
  5. Read and discuss the following Scripture and the key statement from Pastor Aaron’s sermon: Ezekiel 6:8-10 (Judgment affects both believers and unbelievers.) What are the implications here for us? How does the pain and brokenness of the world point all people to a Redeemer?
  6. Read and discuss the following Scriptures and the key statements from Pastor Aaron’s sermon: Ezekiel 25:11, 13, 17, John 6:33 (God’s judgment shows that God wins) and Ezekiel 37:4-6, 12-14, 23, 27-28, Romans 5:9 (Jesus took our judgment.) How does this give us a more complete picture of God’s judgment? How should Gods judgment give us a yearning for what is good and true?
  7. Discuss this statement: God is glorified in both restoration and judgment, and we hope in both restoration & judgment. In what ways can we find hope in God’s judgment?
  8. How do you need to trust God today? Spend some time in prayer for the things you’ve discussed.
