SERMON SUMMARY

Sometimes we feel like things need to go a certain way before we can trust God, but life doesn’t always turn out the way we plan or expect. The important thing is not what happens in life, but rather, our response to the things that happen in life. Will we let life determine how we view God? Or will we let God’s character determine how we view life?

SERMON DISCUSSION

Read John 20:24-29

Choose one or more questions below to discuss:

1. As you listened to Ps Kyle share about the doubts we can have when things don’t go the way we expect, how do you relate? What is your usual response when things don’t turn out the way you planned or expect?

2. How has this pandemic affected the way you view or relate to God? If it has been positive, what are some ways you’ve been connecting with God? If it has been negative, what might be at the heart of it?

3. In times of stress or uncertainty, it can be easy to focus on our circumstance, forget the good and blame God. But what are some truths about God and His character that you would like to hold on to when these circumstances come your way?

4. What are some things you could do to remind yourself of these truths and characteristics about God? What are some things the group can do together to encourage one another?

5. Is there someone in your life that isn’t doing too well during this time? How might you encourage or come alongside them?
