Discussion Questions:

Watch the past message, then choose questions to get your group thinking and create openness.

  1. What was something that stood out to you from this past Sunday’s message? Share what you learned and how it will impact your life.

  2. Read Job 1. Job is described as "blameless and upright," one who "feared God and shunned evil." Think about the people our culture calls "wise" today—what’s different about Job’s kind of wisdom?

  3. Read Job 1:9-11. Satan basically says, "Job only follows God because life is good.” How can we tell if our faith is genuine or if we’re just in it for the blessings? How can we distinguish between genuine godly wisdom and "transactional" faith that only seeks God for His blessings?

  4. Be honest – if you were in Job's shoes, how would you really react? What are some practical ways we can hold onto faith when life hits us with the unexpected?

  5. Read Job 1:20-21. Job loses everything – family, wealth, health – and still blesses God. What does this radical response reveal about what real blessings actually are?

  6. Read Job 1:21. Job says, "The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away.” What changes when we start seeing everything we have as a gift instead of something we deserve?

  7. Wisdom versus understanding. Job doesn't fully understand why it's happening, but he trusts God's wisdom. How do we learn to trust God's wisdom when our own understanding fails?

  8. What would it look like to trust God like Job did – right in the middle of your actual life this week?
