The "F" Word: Fearing Trouble

SCRIPTURES FROM SUNDAY 



REFLECT/DISCUSS 

Q: When you were a child, what were you most afraid of? What did you rely on for comfort or security?

Q: What do you find you’re most afraid of today? How have these fears affected your life?

Q: After reading how the apostles responded to their suffering in Acts 5:41, how does this compare to your typical response to hardship?

Q: How does it make you feel to know that there is value and purpose to your suffering? Can you identify how dealing with hardship has produced character in your own life?

Q: Paul makes clear that when we place our hope in hopeless things, we will never be hopeful. Can your remember a time when you placed your hope in uncertain things? What happened?

Q: By taking an honest look at your life today, do you think you’ve placed your hope in things that will eventually fail you? If so, what steps can you begin taking today to ensure you keep your hope in God?
