Sermon Discussion Questions
1. How does the detailed description of suffering in Lamentations provide direction for us to process/reflect on difficult situations in our lives? How does the author’s understanding of God’s character orient his perspective on the circumstances he’s facing? How is this perspective beneficial for us as we read the Bible and view the circumstances of our life?
2. The Bible makes a clear distinction between God’s covenant people and the world. To whom is the Lord good (Lamentations 3:25; Romans 8:25)? What does it mean to wait for and seek the Lord (see Psalm 34:10, 37:1-11; Amos 5:4, 14)?
3. How would you describe Lamentations in a short sentence or two? Why do God’s people need this book of the Bible? How has it brought encouragement to you so that you might have hope? (Romans 15:4)
