Discussion Questions:
1. Do you ever feel like God is distant and does not care about you, your situation, or your
concerns?
2. How do stones of remembrance help with times that seem overwhelming or when it feels
like God is not listening to us? What would you classify as a “stone of remembrance” in
your life?
3. What comfort do you find knowing that God set you apart the same way He set the
Israelites apart when the Egyptians faced the plagues of God? How does knowing this
while Israel continued to be slaves help you work through the difficult trials and
challenges life produces?
4. What difference does it make that joy is a focus and/or attitude rather than an emotion?
What Paul and Silas moments have you experienced in the past month?
5. What struggle do you have with building your life upon the things that last versus the
things that are temporary? How does this add to the feeling of being unstable and blown
about by every wind that comes along?
