Small Group Discussion Questions
Icebreaker Question:
Do you have any phobeas?
Discussion Questions:
- What would you say in response to this statement: "God is not the author of evil and suffering but he uses evil and suffering get our attention and to drive us to a place of brokenness and true repentance from the heart." Agree or disaree and why?
- In a world of injustice and suffering, Joel and others of the prophets hold out the hope that God will one day right every wrong and will put an end to suffering. Does that thought give you hope? If not, how do you personally come to terms with a good God who allows suffering.
- In Peter's message, he showed how Joel gave three answers to the problem of suffering and tragedy in our lives and in our world. He said Joel's final answer is the cross (hinted at in chapter two). How is the cross the final answer?
