Tuesday Night Bible Class 12/16/08 "Repentance and Renewal"

Read 2 Chronicles 30:1-12, and answer the following questions.

1. What two resons prohibited the Passover from being celebrated during the first month?
2. How was the decision to celebrate the Passover made?
3. How was the invitation to come to Jerusalem for the Passover communicated to Israel
4. and Judah?
5. How had their fathers responded to the Lord, which led to desolation and captivity by the Assyrians?
6. What did the proclamation call the people to do to restore the Passover?
7. What was the people's response to the couriers giving the King's proclamation?

Even though people knew what to do and when to do it, they failed to celebrate Passover and trespassed against the Lord.  In the same way, there are people today who still neglect religious practices, even people within the church:

1. What practices do religious people often neglect today?
2. Why do people neglect religious practices?
3. Why are one's efforts to do the right thing not always appreciated by others?
4. Explain Hebrews 2:1
