Zechariah 1-4

June 23rd, 2024

Discussion Question:

1. Zechariah 1:3-4 emphasizes the call to return to God and experience His renewal. Is there an area of your life that needs renewal? How can you approach God in repentance and seek His help in this area?

2. The passage talks about God's anger with the ancestors for their disobedience (Zechariah 1:4). Consider the legacy or impact you want to leave for future generations. How can you live a life that reflects obedience and faithfulness to God's call?

3. Zechariah 4:6 highlights that the work of God is accomplished "not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit." Think about a time in your life when you relied on your own strength, or resources and it wasn't enough. How can you cultivate a greater dependence on the Holy Spirit in your daily life and activities?

4. The imagery of Zerubbabel facing a "mountain of rubble" (v. 7) represents a seemingly insurmountable obstacle. Describe a current obstacle you or the church is facing. How can you apply the message of relying on God's Spirit to find the strength and wisdom to overcome this challenge?
