Community Group Conversation Starters
Conversation Starters help us dig deeper, connecting Sunday’s sermons with our Monday lives. Please know that these questions are meant to be a resource. You do not have to follow them verbatim or get through them all. We trust you to know your group and to ask the questions based on your group needs.

1. Read Psalm 13.

2. Why do you think suffering is such a barrier for faith in Jesus?

3. What did you learn from the sermon and Scripture passage about wrestling with the problem of suffering as a Christian?

4. How does the good news of Jesus uniquely meet us in our suffering?

5. How does what you learned affect how you respond to your own suffering or the sufferings of those around you?

Take time to share prayer requests and pray together.

Title: But What About Suffering?
Scripture: Psalm 13
Speaker: Jonathan Neef, JonathanN@cckc.church

“Throughout this process, I have clung to a quote by C.S. Lewis, where he says, my argument against God was that the universe seems so cruel and unjust. But how did I get this idea of just, unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he first has some idea of straight. What was I comparing the universe to when I called it unjust?” Rachael Denhollander, (What Is a Girl Worth?: My Story of Breaking the Silence and Exposing the Truth about Larry Nassar and USA Gymnastics)
