Our annual GO Conference is next week! We have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday sessions as well as childcare for each of them (0-7 yrs). We also have a special Potluck lunch next Sunday after the second service. If you plan to attend the Potluck lunch please bring either a side or dessert to share.

Our friends at Grace Baptist have asked for our help! Would you be willing to donate clean and undamaged coats? The coat drive starts this week and runs through November 8th. Hands of Grace will begin distributing the donations to the community at the pantry day on November 11. Please be looking for donation locations in the foyer and near the wing entrances!

Icebreaker:
If you could do a helicopter tour anywhere in the world where would you chose and why?
Discussion Questions:
What would God’s tour of the universe in Job 38-39 answer for Job? What answers are still lacking?
What does God’s control over Behemoth and Leviathan have to do with Job and his suffering?
Read Job’s Responses in Job 40:3-5 and 42:1-6. How are they similar and how are they different? What do you think made the difference?
Application Questions:
How has your understanding of the sufferings of Christ been enriched by seeing Job’s sufferings?
How is God calling you to more faithfully endure through your trials and suffering in light of Job? (Read James 5:7-11)
What is God teaching you about Himself and about your faith in light of this present suffering? (Romans 8:28)
