7/3 Jeremiah 3 - Did God Divorce Israel?
Key Chapters of the Bible
Shocking! Jeremiah 3:8 tells us that God divorced Israel... but what does that even mean? The answer has major implications for our view of God's future plan for Israel. Thankfully, today as we study Jeremiah 3, we'll see just what God means. Join us for this key study in this key chapter! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. The opening verse of Jeremiah 3 mentions divorce. Why is it so stunning that the Lord broaches this topic with His people?

7/2 Jeremiah 2 - When God Withholds Blessings
Key Chapters of the Bible
When we walk with the Lord, we will see His work in our life, but if that work seems to stop, we should seek to figure out why.

7/1 Jeremiah 1 - Faithful But Unpopular
Key Chapters of the Bible
Is it possible to have God's blessing but not be very popular? Just ask Jeremiah! Today we'll start our next study in the Book of Jeremiah.

The opening verses of the Book of Jeremiah give...
info_outlineGod has given His people wonderful riches of wisdom. Join us as we dig into Proverbs 3 and discover the riches God has for us!
DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS:
1. Today’s podcast on Proverbs 3 opened by explaining how a key message throughout scripture is that of obedience to the Lord. The podcast then explained how various biblical teachers explain obedience with different terms such as holiness, or righteousness, etc. How is “wisdom” another way of characterizing “obedience to God”? Does your life reflect wise obedience to God?
2. Read over verse 1. What does a parent typically mean when he or she calls upon their children to remember what they’re saying? What promise does Solomon give in verse 2 for listening to him? Why would this promise be valid?
3. In verses 3 & 4, what is the value of kindness? How would you define kindness? How does a person maintain an attitude of kindness towards others? What impact would this have on the world, if everyone walked around with an attitude of kindness towards their fellow man?
4. Read verses 5 & 6. What does it mean to “trust in the Lord”? What other places might we be tempted to trust, instead? What promise does Solomon give to those who trust the Lord? Why would this promise bear out in the lives of these people? What does it mean to “lean” on something? Why is it a danger to lean on our own understanding of things? What is the antidote to leaning on our own understanding?
5. How are people tempted to be wise in their own eyes (as stated in verse 7)? Why would people begin to think that they “know better” than God? Why might this become a hindrance to obeying the Lord?
6. What is the gist of verses 9 & 10? What does it mean to “honor” the Lord from our wealth? Is this talking about “amounts” or “heart attitudes” or something else? How is it possible to give towards the Lord’s work in a way that dishonors Him? Are you honoring the Lord from your wealth right now?
7. In verses 11 & 12, why is it a blessing to receive discipline from the Lord? Has the Lord ever disciplined you? Was your reaction similar to the exhortation in these verses? Why or why not?
8. Read over verses 13 to 24. What are some of the riches and blessings that come from knowing and obeying wisdom?
9. What kind of confidence does verse 25 & 26 exhort us to have? Where does this confidence come from? Can a person disobey God and still have this kind of confidence? Why or why not?
10. In verses 27 to 30, how might a person “withhold good” to those whom it is due? What might this look like in your life today?
11. Read over verses 31 to 35. What is God’s view of the wicked and foolish? Why should we, also, have to have this view of these kinds of people? Where might we be tempted to envy or admire the wicked and foolish? What is the danger of that kind of thinking?
12. Take a few moments to reflect on Proverbs 3. What verse(s) stand out to you as a gem of wisdom you can carry with you throughout your day today?
