THE 7 BIG QUESTIONS
During the Explore God series, we’ll be delving deeper into the questions below. Media is a key component of Explore God Discussion Groups. If you can push the play button, you're already on your way to becoming a great facilitator/host!
WEEK 1 (Sep 24–30): Does life have a purpose?
We were created to live in a relationship with God. Life is meaningless without God, but God gives everything meaning.
WEEK 2 (Oct 1–7): Is there a God?
When we are open to the possibility of God’s existence, we’ll discover there are many indicators of his presence.
WEEK 3 (Oct 8–14): Why does God allow pain and suffering?
While God does not provide the reason for each experience of pain, through Jesus He does provide a way to face suffering with hope and courage rather than bitterness and despair.
WEEK 4 (Oct 15–21): Is Jesus really God?
With intention or by default, every person answers the question, “Is Jesus really God?” The overwhelming evidence points to the truth of His divinity.
WEEK 5 (Oct 22–28): Is Christianity too narrow?
God provided a way for everyone to find their way back to Him. Most religions boil down to humanity trying to reach God, but Christianity is about God reaching humanity.
WEEK 6 (Oct 29–Nov 4): Is the Bible reliable and can I know God personally?
The Bible can be shown to be a reliable document, accurately recorded and transmitted through history, and relevant to life in the 21st century. The way to knowing God is not by striving and trying harder. It’s through knowing and following Jesus.
