Sermon Discussion Questions:

1. How is life like the grass and flowers of the field? Do you view your life that way? If so, how? If not, why not?

2. Think of the billions of lives that have lived on planet earth up to now and the untold multitudes that will come after us. Think of the billions upon billions of stars in the vast infiniteness of space. What is the significance of your one solitary life in the grand scheme of the universe?

3. The Bible teaches us that in spite of how insignificant our lives might appear in a vast universe, the Creator of that universe chooses to speak to us through His word. If the Scriptures are indeed the Creator’s communication with His creation, what should our response be to the Bible? Do you study the B.I.B.L.E. as the “Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth? Why or why not?

4. In our passage this week, we are reminded of the fleeting beauty of mankind. In light of this, what do you think it means that “we are much, but we ain’t that much” and why is it important for us to understand this?

5. The same God that breathes life into us is the same God who breathes over us and we whither and are no more (see 40:7). What should this tell you about God’s sovereignty over your life and how does this make you feel? Secure? Insecure? Explain.

6. What do you think it means that “the word of our God will stand forever”?

7. Why do you think Isaiah has to remind his readers that we will all die and fade away but God’s word is everlasting? How should this impact the way you live your life?
