Why God Tests You (Part 6) // James 1:2-4
What is God like in our trials? How does He receive us when we come to Him for help? As we continue examining the subject of trials sent or allowed by God into our lives, we'll spend some more time learning about the HEART of God.
DISCUSSION / REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
Spiritual maturity is marked by a stable relationship with God regardless of life's ups and downs. Looking at your own life, how are you doing with this? Can you identify any ways you've grown in this?
Consider Hebrews 4:15, which tells us that Jesus can sympathize with our weaknesses. How does knowing that Jesus experienced temptation and suffering impact your approach to trials?
Trials teach us patience, as discussed in the sermon. Share a time when you had to wait on God's timing. How did that experience shape your faith?
Reflect on 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, which talks about God comforting us so that we may comfort others. Discuss how your personal experiences with God's comfort have equipped you to minister to others.
The sermon mentioned that trials are an opportunity, not a guarantee, for growth. What attitudes or actions can help ensure that we grow through our trials rather than just endure them?
Prayer and community are essential in navigating trials. How has being part of a faith community helped you during difficult times? Share a specific example and the outcomes.
