Minor Prophets | Joel

January 19, 2025 Speaker: Jordan Gowing Series: Minor Prophets | A Few Minor Thoughts on the Prophets

Topic: Sunday Morning Teaching Passage: Joel 1:1– 3:21

What can we learn about the character of God from the book of Joel? Join us this Sunday at CrossWinds Church in Spencer as we consider the answer.

Sermon Discussion

  1. Have you ever studied the book of Joel before? What did you know of this book before our study?
  2. What is one takeaway from the sermon and one question that you had after hearing the sermon?
  3. Read 1 Peter 1:10. After our study, how would you say that Joel fulfills Peter’s words?
  4. Read Joel 1:4, 7, 10, 12, 17–20. How do these verses describe the destruction that Judah has experienced?
  5. Read Deuteronomy 28:38–40, 45–48. What do these verses reveal about the cause behind the locust plague?
  6. Read Joel 2:12–17. Why does God tell his people about the coming judgment? What stands out to you about these verses concerning God’s mercy? (cf. Exodus 34:6)
  7. In light of Joel 2:12–17, what does true repentance and faith look like? What does it not look like?
  8. Read Joel 2:14; Jonah 3:6–10. How does the context of Jonah help us interpret the “who knows?” of Joel 2?
  9. Read Joel 2:18–19, 21–27. How does God respond to his people’s return in repentance? How do these verses give us comfort when we are faced with our own sin?
  10. Read Joel 2:28–29; Acts 2:14, 16–17. How does God’s future blessing for those who repent and turn to him in faith overshadow God’s blessing in Joel’s day?
