Broken Saviors Sermon Graphic (1920 x 690 px).png

We are often

by what God does (or doesn’t do):

We are often disturbed that God allows

.

We are often disturbed by God’s

.


We are often disturbed by God’s .

Instead of judging God, we need to worship and trust God.

Our judgement is

because we are both Naboth & Ahab.

We aren’t

enough or enough to judge God.

We can trust God’s

and mercy because of Jesus.

Next Week: Broken Saviors – Hezekiah, 2 Kings 18-20

SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS

WARM UP QUESTION: Which is worse, for a guilty man to go unpunished or an innocent man to be punished unjustly?
HEAD: These questions help us examine the Word.
1. Read 1 Kings 21. How does this story portray Ahab and Jezebel? What are their defining characteristics?
2. Why was Naboth so adamant about not giving up his vineyard?
3. How would you define covetousness according to this story?
4. Pastor Peter said: “We are often disturbed by what God does (or doesn’t do).” Is there anything that God does (or doesn’t do) here that is disturbing?
5. What are the problems with us trying to judge God for what he does (or doesn’t do)?

HEART: These questions help us wrestle with what we believe.
6. In what ways do you identify with Naboth’s innocent suffering?
7. In what ways do you identify with Ahab’s covetousness?
8. Do you find any comfort in this story?

HAND: These questions help us bring truth and beliefs into our everyday life.
9. How does Jesus enable us to trust God in the face of unjust suffering?
