What traits do you look for in a friend?
How do real friends react in problems?
How can you be a better friend?

Weekly Overview:
Going through a season of suffering is difficult.  It is hard to see that any blessing will ever come again.  Job felt that way but God had not forgotten Job.  God has not forgotten you in your suffering either.  Job was faithful to trust God through even the toughest of circumstances.  He never doubted God even when everything and everyone was telling him otherwise.  God’s faith in Job was strong!

Read Job 42:7-17

How did God react to Job’s friends?
What did God require of the friends?
Why do you think God wanted Job to be a part of their repentance?

I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS: Tough Love

Icebreaker: What is your favorite Christmas movie? What is your favorite Christmas movie quote?
