Questions for Reflection

1. Read Ecclesiastes 4:1-16. What do you remember from the sermon? What strikes you about what the Preacher says?
2. On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being lazy and 10 being a workaholic), how would you rate yourself? Explain. How does Eccl 4:5-6 help you?
3. What are the benefits of partnership (Eccl 4:9-12)? Have you seen any of these in operation (work, or AG, or ministry, or church)?
4. In the week ahead, what one concrete thing can you (or your AG) do to build and nurture “Two are better than one … a threefold cord is not easily broken”?
