Sermon

Why Do the Wicked Prosper?

August 16, 2020 Mike MinterSermonsPsalms

Have you ever gotten to the place of doubting or asking God, “Where are You?” It may be that you are measuring life against a temporal value system instead of eternity. In Psalm 73, Asaph wrestles with faith “till I entered the sanctuary of God.”

Why Do the Wicked Prosper?

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 in your life when you doubted the goodness, presence or even the existence of God? What happened? How did that time or season play out?
  3. Read and discuss Psalm 73. What do we learn about God from this psalm? What do we learn about us? In what ways do you relate to the author?
  4. Discuss this statement: “Life is not fair, but it is just.” What does this mean? How do we tend to struggle with the tension between fairness and justice?
  5. In what ways do you “envy the arrogant” and see “the prosperity of the wicked” (Psalm 73:3) around you today? As followers of Jesus, how should we respond to this?
  6. What is the significance of the psalmist going “into the sanctuary of God” (Psalm 73:17)? How is this a turning point in this psalm? What are the implications for us?
