Highlights
Job Series Booklet
Available this Weekend
As we take a 4-week break to jump into the book of Job, we’ve created a new notebook with questions and notes for you. This notebook also includes anonymous testimonies from members of our congregation who were willing to share stories of how God used significant trials in their lives.
Congregational Meeting
Our next congregational meeting is tonight. You’ll hear important ministry updates and we’ll also have a dessert fellowship afterwards.
Please bring along a note or card of encouragement and thanks for Joel & Ginny Smith as we celebrate their serving our flock for the past many years!

Discussion Questions

What misconceptions have you held in the past regarding the book of Job?
Discussion Questions
Where have you seen the hidden spiritual nature in the sufferings you personally have experienced? (See Ephesians 6:10-20)
Recall Job’s Two Tests (1:9-10, 2:4-5). How do they reflect what’s commonly believed about God and about how the world works?
How do the friends provide a positive example at the beginning of this book?
Application Questions
Recall Job’s responses in 1:5, 1:20-22, and 2:9-11. In what ways does Job’s responses to his suffering challenge your faith?
How do Job’s responses affect how you view God’s gifts and how you view yourself?
