Where is God when it Hurts?
Leaders: Scott and Gudrun Dunt
Location: Rooms 140-144
IF there is a loving God, then why is it that . . . ?
You’ve heard that question, perhaps asked it yourself. No matter how you complete it, at its root lies the issue of pain.
Does God order our suffering? Does he decree an abusive childhood, orchestrate a jet crash, steer a tornado through a community? Or did he simply wind up the world’s mainspring and now is watching from a distance?
In this award-winning book, Philip Yancey reveals a God who is neither capricious nor unconcerned. Using examples from the Bible and from his own experiences Yancey looks at pain - physical, emotional, and spiritual – and helps us understand why we suffer. Where is God when it Hurts? will speak to those for whom life sometimes just doesn't make sense. And it will help equip anyone who wants to reach out to someone in pain but just doesn’t know what to say.
Books will be provided.

I AM A CHURCH MEMBER - - A Group Study for Young Adults
Leader: Kim Boehm
Location: 141
What does it mean to be a member of a church? That is an interesting question for which there are many answers. Thom S. Rainer addresses this question in his book, “I Am a Church Member.” His book looks at church membership from a position of attitudes and responsibilities instead of doctrines and theological issues.
These six chapters will be the basis of our reading and discussion:
1. I Will Be a Unifying Church Member
2. I Will Not Let the Church Be About My Preferences and Desires
3. I Will Pray for My Church Leaders
4. I Will Lead My Family to Be Healthy Church Members
5. I Will Be a Functioning Member
6. I Will Treasure Church Membership as a Gift
Books will be provided.
DANIEL
Leader: Pastor Bahn
Location: Gym
When we hear terms like “the Gospel of the kingdom of God” we typically think of the New Testament and people like John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostles. One book of the Old Testament, Daniel, makes a very strong statement about the kingdom of God. If we have read or heard any portion of Daniel it usually involves miraculous stories and fantastic visions. Daniel is much more than those things.
In Daniel we find a picture of the Gospel of the promised Messiah and his eternal kingdom. Daniel is not intended as a roadmap to lead God’s people to focus on an earthly messianic kingdom but is instead a book about Christ- his first and his second coming. It is a book about God’s people in the Old Testament and how God sustained them during the years of their exile. It is a book about God’s people today and our faith today.
Daniel is about our faith in God who accomplished our redemption through the suffering, death, and resurrection of Christ will preserve us until Christ’s return, when we will be raised from the death and inherit eternal life and the new heavens and new earth.
Join us for this study and discussion in one of the more fascinating books in the Bible.
Handouts will be provided.
