絕處逢生 Restoration from Hopelessness

義人受苦更是一個很大的迷, 苦難是關係的挑戰, 但願我們永遠都不 要忘記, 神從來沒有離開祂在苦難中的兒女,苦難不會使神離開我們, 苦難使神與人建立更深切的關係。

God has never abandoned his children in their suffering. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung reminds us that suffering can draw us to God and deepen our relationship with Him.

Read Today’s Scripture Passage

Job 42

Life Group Discussion Guide

1. Start with a prayer

2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)

  • Think of an experience when something you value got broken and later restored. How did you feel when it was restored?

3. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)

  • What does it mean for you that God restores?

4. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

  • Read Job 42. What changed in Job’s perspective of God?
  • In what ways did God restore Job?
  • In what way is Job a foreshadow of Jesus?
  • Self reflection: In what ways am I broken (e.g. physically, relationally, spiritually, etc.)? How can I bring these to God who restores? (Spend 2-3 minutes of silence to pray)

5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)

  • Think and pray for a specific person you can share about what you have learned through the book of Job. What action steps will you take towards it? (Note to leader: Make a follow up in the coming weeks)

6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)

  • Pray for each other’s needs and concerns. (10-15 minutes)
  • Pray for our country. (10-15 minutes)
