Small Group Time:
Talking through the message during the week helps you and your group turn what God is saying to you into action steps. Begin with key questions, add any optional Scriptures and questions if needed, and then wrap up by deciding on your next steps.
Main Idea:
God is with us in every moment. We may feel that we are deep in a valley, or alone in a desert. We might be on top of the mountain looking for direction, or just waiting to see if our prayers will be answered. No matter our circumstances, we can celebrate that God is with us.
Key Questions:
1. Were you afraid of storms as a kid?
2. What do you think God has been saying to you through this series?
3. Read 2 Timothy 4:16-17. What can you learn from Paul’s words to Timothy?
4. What’s a major storm you’ve experienced in your life? How has it changed the way you relate with God?
5. Do you need to forgive yourself or others for causing a storm? What step can you take toward forgiveness?
6. Read Psalm 16:8. Even though God is trying to affirm His presence in our storms, why is it so easy to overlook that He is there?
7. What did you learn in a storm that God can use to help someone else through their own storm?
8. Who do you know who is going through a storm? How can you show them God’s love this week?
Next Steps:
- What’s one thing you will do this week as a result of something you learned from this message?
- Recall a stormy season in your life. Consider writing it out and look for the ways God was with you all along. Then, thank Him for it in prayer and worship this week.
