1. When is the last time you honestly questioned God because things were falling apart? What was the situation? Did God answer you right away? What did you learn about yourself in this experience?

​

2. Can you name a situation or a person you had to separate from? Share with the group who the who the person was and why you had to separate from them. Have you remained separated or has God restore the relationship? Can you really explain why things happened the way they did?

 

3. Can you identify a pain that was beneficial to you? What was the pain and how was it beneficial to your growth? Can you better understand why God allowed that pain in your life?

 

4. As you look back on your life, when do you think Heaven was rejoicing over you? Share with your group why you feel Heaven rejoiced in that situation? Did you learn the difference between how we think and how Heaven uses a different gauge to measure our growth? Are you better equipped now to face what the enemy brings your way?

 

5. Pastor Dale said that there is a gap between appearance and reality. Can you better understand the role faith plays in us defining and “walking in God’s reality?” How do we walk as Christians in this defining moment as things seem to be getting worse?
