The Pursuit of Pleasure

April 19, 2020 Speaker: Mike Sciarra Series: Living in Light of Dying

Topic: The Pursuit of Pleasure Passage: Ecclesiastes 2:1–11

Discussion Questions:

  1. In this passage, what do you think Solomon did right or wrong, and why do you think so?
  2. How does Solomon’s experiment help us to live for God’s pleasure rather than our own? (1 Cor. 10:1-14)
  3. How does Solomon’s honesty help you as a Christian who wants to please God but knows that you don’t always succeed?
  4. What makes you most uncomfortable about this passage? What is most comforting about this passage? How do free/lenient/licentious (note the range) vs. conscientious/strict/legalistic Christians navigate these verses?
  5. How does 1 John 2:15-17 instruct us when it comes to forays into pleasure-seeking?
