1. What was your big takeaway from this week’s sermon?
   

2. Did you ever have a difficult time trusting God’s direction? How can we guard our relationship with God during those times?
   

3. Ultimately God is the only one with the power to restore us, but what are ways that we can support or show God’s love to a grieving brother or sister in Christ?
   

4. It is easy for “God is with you” to become a truth that we ignore, or don’t fully absorb. Why is that? How can we avoid trivializing God’s presence, and how could that strengthen us through losing someone?

Breakout
Pray for each other that may see and feel God’s presence from within the whirlwind.
