Digging Deeper

Q1: Have you ever taken a lengthy “road trip”?  If so, describe some of the unusual and unexpected “twists and turns” you experienced on your journey?

Q2: Pastor David mentioned that sometimes we can face delays and/or detours on our journey of faith, not because of sin, but because of righteousness.  Have you ever gone through a time in your life when you honoured God by doing what was right only to have things go from bad to worse?  If so, explain.

Q3: Read Matthew 5:11-12.  What does Jesus have to say about facing resistance because of righteousness?

Q4: God is at work in the worst of times.  Often His work is bigger and broader than we can see at the time.  Can you think of an experience in your life that, as you look back, you can see God’s “bigger plan” being accomplished?  If so, describe.

Q5: Read Deuteronomy 24:17-22.  How should our life experiences shape how we treat others around us?

Q6: What is one “take away” you have from our study of Ruth?  What did the Lord say to you personally?
