Takeaways:
Seasons of Life
- Solomon says “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.”
- All the things happening on earth (under heaven) there is a season, a time, a reason, even though we don’t always understand it.
- We, like Solomon, may ask: why are things in life not better than they are? If I am a follower of God, why do I have to go through winter? Why doesn’t God treat me better, why all this pain in life?
- Life is filled with contrasts. Different seasons. A time to prune and a time to flourish.
- God is the God of seasons. Whatever season you find yourself in, he sees you, and he loves you.
- Spring is a season of new beginnings. Summer is a season of lighthearted enjoyment. Fall is a season of change again, but you sense it might get worse. Winter is a season waiting and a test of your faith.
Eternity is Hardwired
- Josh points out how some say, ‘How could a loving God send people to hell?’ Josh in return asks, 'how could any person turn down God’s invitation to eternal life?'
- Relationships, pain, this life are not the way it is supposed to be. That is why people struggle so much with death.
- We long to live forever, we were not built to live with pain and death.
Fear God
- The fear of God is a deep respect and awe for who God is; holy, sovereign, just, and powerful.
- Recognize He is God and we are not.
- Proper fear brings humility: “I don’t run the universe - He does.”
- Proper fear produces worship, surrender, and obedience.
- In the end you will either face the wrath of God or the grace of God.
Discussion Questions:
- Why is it both encouraging and discouraging that we live life in seasons? What kind of season are you currently in?
- How does understanding we are hardwired for eternity give you perspective about your life now?
- How does understanding God’s character impact how you live on a daily basis?
- How have you seen parents, pastors, or teachers misrepresent God’s nature?
