1 Corinthians 3
- In 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 Paul explains that the Corinthians' arguments over which leader they follow were a sign of their immaturity. What attitude toward leaders or teachers does he say we should have instead?
- What is the reward Paul mentions in 1 Corinthians 3:14?
- Paul specifically commands us in 1 Corinthians 3:21, "no more boasting about human leaders." Do you have any tendency to boast about human leaders?
- Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 4:3, "I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself." He only cared about what God thought. What is the benefit of only caring about God's judgement and not caring what people think?
- Why did Paul send Timothy to Corinth?
- What does Paul mean in 1 Corinthians 5:5 when he says, "hand this man over to Satan"?
- Why does Paul instruct Christians not to associate with someone who claims to be a Christian but who is "sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler"?
- What does Paul say would be better than a believer suing another believer in front of a judge who is an unbeliever?
- What reasons does Paul give for fleeing sexual immorality?
- What does Paul say a believer who is married to an unbeliever should do?
- Paul says in 1 Corinthians 7:23, "do not become slaves of human beings." Are there ways you could become enslaved to another human being? How should you avoid it?
- 1 Corinthians 7:29-31 teaches us how to live in light of the fact that "the time is short." How does this apply to you?
1 Chronicles 16 - 29
- What were Asaph and his associates appointed to do in 1 Chronicles 16?
- In 1 Chronicles 17 David wanted to build a house for God. Instead God had Nathan tell David, "I declare to you that the Lord will build a house for you." (1 Chronicles 17:10) What did God mean that He would build a house for David?
- Twice in 1 Chronicles 18, the Bible says, "The Lord gave David victory wherever he went." Why was God willing to give him victory again and again?
- Why did the Ammonites think David had sent a delegation to spy on them in 1 Chronicles 19 when he had sent a delegation to express sympathy?
- Who killed the six fingered man?
- Why did God send a plague on Israel in 1 Chronicles 21?
- In 1 Chronicles 22:19 David told the leaders of Israel, "Now devote your heart and soul to seeking the Lord your God." How would you devote your heart and soul to seeking the Lord?
- In 1 Chronicles 23:4-5 David divided the Levites into four groups, each with a different responsibility. Which group would you have preferred to be in?
- 1 Chronicles 25:1 says that David set aside some of the Levites "for the ministry of prophesying, accompanied by harps, lyres and cymbals." What would you need to do if your job was to prophesy?
- According to 1 Chronicles 26:17-18, how many guards were present at one time?
- David told his son Solomon in 1 Chronicles 28:9, "the Lord searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought." How does knowing that God searches your thoughts affect the way you think?
- In 1 Chronicles 29 David and the people of Israel willingly contributed large quantities of gold, silver, bronze, iron, and precious stones for the construction of the temple. In verse 14 David, prayed, "Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand." Do you give with the same attitude, recognizing that everything you have comes from God?
Psalms 72 - 73
- Psalm 72:12 says, "For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help." Why does God have concern for the person who has no one else to help?
- Psalm 73 was written by Asaph. What does he say in verses 2 and 3 that almost caused him to lose his foothold?
