Discussion Questions, Part 1:

  • What point or passage of Scripture from this session was most encouraging for you? Why? What was most challenging for you?
  • Can you identify with the sentiment that sometimes we “don’t FEEL like rejoicing?!” When have you been in a season like that, and how did you get through it?
  • When we deal with pressure on our own, we’ll likely make a mess of things! But when God is at the wine or olive press, all that pressure has divine purposes and produces beautiful results. When have you found this to be true in your own life?
  • When have you wrestled with God? (Or maybe you’re currently wrestling and willing to share?)
  • If you feel comfortable sharing, what is a storm you are currently experiencing? How can we pray for you in this storm?
  • How can we find and hold onto hope even in the storm? How can we worship even in the storm?
  • What is your biggest takeaway from this session?
Worship in the Storm, Part 2

Discussion Questions, Part 2:

  • How can knowing about “reaction wood” give us insight into our spiritual lives?
  • Are the difficulties you are currently experiencing happening because of outside influences, extenuating circumstances, or your own not-so-great choices? Regardless of the reason(s) for the storms, how have you seen God working all things together for your good and for His glory?
  • In The Bible Exposition Commentary/Wisdom and Poetry, Warren Wiersbe wrote, “In times of severe testing, our first question must not be, ‘How can I get out of this?’ but ‘What can I get out of this?’” How can we change our natural inclinations so that we are actively seeking to learn from our trials?
  • Which of the three Rs related to trials and suffering (result, refine, reveal) resonated most with you and why?
  • When have the storms of life revealed something inside of you that wasn’t very flattering, something God wanted to refine? When have the storms of life revealed something precious about God Himself to you?
  • Have you had opportunities to minister to other people because of what you have been through yourself? How has God revealed Himself through you to others?
  • What is your biggest takeaway from today?
