Sermon Discussion Questions
1. What are you most tempted to toil after in a vain attempt to satisfy the longings of your soul? When/how has the Word of God refreshed your soul? In what ways are you seeking to cast the life-giving “seed” of the Word into others’ lives?
2. How have you experienced the compassion of the Lord when you returned to Him? What most amazes you about His compassion?
3. What are some ways you can more consistently remind yourself and others of the joyful reality of the coming new creation and the removal of the curse?
4. How would you describe the book of Isaiah 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)
