Ecclesiastes 1:1-14 "Traffic-Jam Theology" Rev. Ryan Laughlin

 

                                                           Sermon Discussion Questions:

 

 1) After reading this section again, what do you see as one of the main themes? 


 2) How do we have wisdom for when things don't go the way we expect?


 3) Sermon quote: "Because our theology is so rooted in God's sovereignty, sometimes we think we need the right answer in a crisis, which could mean down-playing our emotions." Have you experienced this type of response to a crisis in your own life? How does Ecclesiastes give us language to face hardships?

 

4) When we search for the meaning of what we may be going through, does our search include Jesus? What does this look like in our lives?

 

5) Sermon quote: "Just because we can't make sense of our life doesn't mean it is meaningless. Stop looking for meaning, where we will not find it." Where are some other places, people and things that we seek meaning for our lives besides Jesus? Can you share some examples with the group?

 

6) Does being wise mean knowing everything? How does knowing Jesus inform our view of wisdom?
