TEACHING: Not What I Expected

Where is God during moments – or seasons – of disappointment? He lovingly uses the disappointments of life to remind us that this is not our home and to push us closer to Christ.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. What was something from this message that you found particularly helpful, insightful or difficult to grasp?
  2. “The line between expectation and reality is disappointment.” Have you found this to be true in your life? Why or why not?
  3. Why do you think God allows disappointment?
  4. Read Luke 24:13-24. How does the theme of disappointment come out in this passage?
  5. How does disappointment remind us that this earth is not our home (Philippians 3:20)?
  6. How can disappointment push us to depend on Christ? Do you have examples of this from your own disappointments?
  7. How does Romans 8:31-39 provide a context for suffering, difficulty and disappointment in life? Is there a situation or circumstance you are currently dealing with that needs to be viewed through the lens of those verses? Spend some time in prayer about this.
