2. The sermon begins with some of the direct advice of the epistles when we face uncertainty, including a) following/remembering the Law, b) finding joy in hardship, and c) learning to listen to the Holy Spirit. Are any of these easier/harder for you? Why?

4. Have you ever felt supported by a church family/community? What was that experience like?

5. Have you ever worked alongside other Christians to support someone else? What was that experience like?
