Are You Enjoying God in the Midst of Storms?
DISCUSS & ENGAGE THE SCRIPTURES
Access our Bible App event with Scriptures and message notes from the weekend.
1. Read 1 Thessalonians 5:16,18. How have you been enjoying God and the life He’s giving you this summer?
2. Read Mark 4:39. The disciples became focused on the storm, but Jesus was in the boat with them. How have you seen God use a difficult season to deepen your relationship with Him?
3. A storm is a temporary hardship God didn't send but is using to help us be with Him and become like Him. Which part of that definition stands out to you most, and why?
4. Read James 1:2-4. If you asked Jesus, "How do You want me to seek You right now?" what do you think He might say?
PRAY
May we enjoy God and the life He’s giving us through all circumstances in Jesus’ name.
