"Receptive Listening“

  2 Chronicles 17:1-19:3

By Carlyn Cole, May 17, 2026

God's sovereignty is unavoidable

Be a receptive listener

Applying God's Word to Life

  1. How do you feel about your current walk with Christ...pessimistic?  optimistic?  What can you point to in making that assessment?
  2. When have you felt like your life with Christ was at its best?
  3. What factors can you point to that would cause the author to say that ‘The Lord was with Jehoshaphat’ (17:3)?
  4. What cautions do you have in ‘hearing the Lord's voice’ in light of Micaiah's words (18:18-22)?
  5. How does the ‘random’ arrow shot speak to the sovereignty of God?
  6. Jehoshaphat was a good King, still he was said to ‘help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord’.  What are some things that will assist us from acting likewise?
  7. Great or small we are to seek the Lord.  What will you do in the week ahead to seek the Lord?
