Sermon by Robert Polen

6th Sunday of Easter

Discussion Questions:

1. In Joel 2:18-9, we are told that the LORD, in response to his people’s pleas for help, becomes jealous, has pity, and answers his people. How do these characteristics of the LORD give you hope and comfort?
2. Seasons of devastation and crisis are often accompanying by feelings of shame as our vulnerability is exposed. Joel 2:27 identifies 3 things that we shall know as a result of the Lord’s salvation of his people. How do these things deliver us from the destructive power of shame?
3. Having experienced the Lord’s salvation God’s people are called not to fear but to rejoice. After seasons of devastation this can be hard. How does the fact that “the Lord has done great things” (Joel 2:21) provide confidence to face fears and practice joy?
