Old Testament: 2 Chronicles 19 - 36
When Jehoshaphat appointed judges, he told them, "with the Lord our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery." Why is this true?
In chapter 20, when Jehoshaphat was about to be attacked, he assembled the people for prayer and fasting. In his prayer he said, "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you." What is the benefit of praying without a plan rather than making a plan and asking God to bless it?
What is the meaning of the statement in 20:15, "the battle is not yours, but God’s"?
How did Jehoram die and why?
When Ahaziah was king, 22:3 says, "his mother encouraged him to act wickedly." Why would someone's mother encourage them to act wickedly?
What changes were made immediately when Joash was proclaimed king in chapter 23?
Why did Joash and the people of Judah turn away from God after the death of Jehoiada?
In chapter 25 a prophet told Amaziah to send troops home that Amaziah had hired. He said that God was not with them and Amaziah would not succeed if he took them into battle. Amaziah was reluctant to send them home because of the money he had spent on them. Are you able to obey the Lord and not let money you have already spent affect your decisions?
26:5 says of Uzziah, "As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success." Then verse 16 says, "But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall." How can a person enjoy God-given success without becoming prideful?
According to 27:6, why did Jotham grow powerful?
In chapter 28 what stopped Israel from keeping slaves they had captured from Judah?
What did Hezekiah have to do in chapter 29 to reestablish worship at the temple?
What responses did the couriers get in chapter 30 when they went from town to town inviting people to come to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover?
In chapter 31 the people brought tithes, which they had previously neglected to do. The priest said in 31:10, "Since the people began to bring their contributions to the temple of the Lord, we have had enough to eat and plenty to spare, because the Lord has blessed his people, and this great amount is left over." Have you experienced God's blessing in response to obedient giving?
What did Hezekiah mean in 32:7 when he said, "there is a greater power with us than with him"?
What did Manasseh do that was wrong? What caused him to repent?
How did Josiah respond in chapter 34 when he heard the Law read?
In chapter 35 Josiah celebrated the Passover. How long had it been since it had been celebrated in the way it was this time? What do you think had been different in all those years past?
What is the meaning of the statement in 36:16, "there was no remedy"?
Psalms 76 - 77
In 76:7 Asaph said, "It is you alone who are to be feared." Does God want you to fear Him?
In Psalm 77, Asaph describes a difficult time and said in verses 11 and 12, "I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds." What is the value of remembering the things that God has done in the past?

Why did the apostles rejoice in 5:41?
In chapter 6, how was the apparent conflict between the Greek speaking Jews and the Hebraic Jews settled?
Why did people bring accusation against Stephen?
In chapter 7 Stephen summarizes the history of Israel. He said that after the Israelites left Egypt, "in their hearts turned back to Egypt." What does it mean to turn back in your heart?
Why did the members of the Sanhedrin cover their ears in 7:57?
8:13 says that Simon believed and was baptized. Why then did Peter tell him in verse 21 that his heart was not right before God?
If you were Philip how would you feel about being told by an angel to go down a desert road if it meant leaving all the exciting things that were happening in Samaria?
