Weekly Warm-up: 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! Weekly Discussion Questions: Read Job 42:7-17 How did God react to Job’s friends? Wh...

Weekly Warm-up: What are your eclipse day plans? Why do people get fixated on one event such as the eclipse? Compare the apoca-eclipse mania to the Star of Bethlehem excitement. Weekly Overview: We have all met someone face-to-face whom we had previously only heard about or talked with on the phone or by email.  Most of the time, they do not look like they sound or how they appear in a photograph.  People we have only seen on TV or in the movies are usually much shorter or smaller than they seem on the big screen when we meet them in person.  Job had heard of God, he had worshipped God, his life had been above reproach; but when he saw God, Job rea...

Weekly Warm-up: What kind of test taker are you? Have you ever cheat on a test? How do you prepare for a test? Weekly Overview: We have all experienced bad days – receiving news of a loved one’s death, losing a job, getting a bad diagnosis or seeing the destruction of our home – but none of us have had a bad day like Job’s bad day.  Job lost his fortune and his family all in one day but he did not lose his faith.  Job continued to praise God despite the circumstances.  After all that loss, now Job is sitting in a heap scraping his oozing wounds with a piece of broken pottery.  Surely, now, he will lose his patience and give up on God!  No...
