Week 2 | It’s Not Fair
SCOTT AVEY   -  

1. What is one thing that stood out to you from this week’s message?
2. Describe a time when a person or event did not meet your expectations? How did it impact your life? How did it make you feel?
3. Discuss a time when God did not meet your expectations? How did it impact your life? How did it make you feel?
4. Verse 5 says to “look at the nations”. Pastor Scott said we need to pick up our eyes to see God’s hands working outside of our immediate story. How does seeing a “bigger picture” help us gain perspective, perseverance, and faith?

5. Have you ever asked God to bring justice on someone who wronged you? Would you want someone asking justice upon things you’ve done? God brought judgement upon the Babylonians. How does God’s justice differ from our own?

6. Consider the statement “A deeply committed believer can express questions and faith simultanously”. Does that seem counter-intuive or contradictory? Why or why not?

7. Read Mark 9:17-24. We see a real person struggling with faith. In Vs 19- what does Jesus rebuke? In Vs 23- what unlocks the miraculous provisions of God? What tension do we see the father embrace in Vs 24?
