Old Testament: 1 Kings 12 - 22
In chapter 12 the elders advised Rehoboam to be a leader who serves the people. His young friends advised him to be harsh and demanding. Why did he reject the advice of the elders?
Why did the prophet in chapter 13 refuse to go home and eat with Jeroboam?
In chapter 14 Abijah son of Jeroboam died. Verse 13 says that he was the only one in the house of Jeroboam in whom the Lord found anything good. Why then did he die?
Why did God keep Jerusalem strong during the reign of Abijah even though Abijah was not a good king?
What did Ahab do in chapter 16 that was worse than what other bad kings before him had done?
In 17:9 God told Elijah, "I have directed a widow there to supply you with food." When Elijah spoke to the widow in verses 10 and 11, she gave him the reasons she wouldn't be able to help him. When God says He had directed the widow, does this means He had been speaking to her but she hadn't yet accepted what God had been saying?
Part of Elijah's prayer in 18:36 was, "let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command." How does God want to work through you to make Himself known to others?
How could Elijah be so bold in chapter 18 and then be afraid and running for his life in chapter 19?
What was Ahab meant to learn in chapter 20?
Why did Naboth refuse to sell his vineyard in chapter 21?
How did God respond to Ahab's repentant attitude at the end of chapter 21?
In chapter 22 Jehoshaphat insisted on hearing from a prophet of the Lord. Why did he still go to battle after Micaiah prophesied that they would not be successful?
Psalms 60 - 63
Why does David say in 60:11, "human help is worthless."
In 61:5 David wrote, "you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name." What is the heritage that David is speaking about?
David said in 62:5, "Yes, my soul, find rest in God." What does it mean to find rest in God? How do you do it?
David wrote in 63:1, "my whole being longs for you." How can you nurture that kind of hunger for God?
New Testament: Luke 5 - 8
In 5:10 Jesus told His first disciples that they would fish for people. Is this something He has called you to do?
5:16 says, "Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed." Do you do this? Where are you able to go to be alone with the Lord?
What did Jesus do the night before He chose the 12?
What opportunities do you have to apply 6:36, "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful"?
John the Baptist's job was to point people to Jesus. Why did he reach a place in 7:19, where he wanted to ask, "Are you the one who is to come?"
Why did the people of the region of the Gerasenes want Jesus to leave after He cast demons out of man and restored him to his right mind?
