Discussion Questions:

1. Why do we have so much trouble knowing for certain - and acting upon - the truth that God orchestrates all things for our good in Christ? [Read 2 Cor. 11:22-33, 12:7-10; Gen. 50:15-21 (Summarize main points of Joseph's story in Gen. 37-50), and Job 42:1-6 (Summarize main points of Job’s story)]
2. What are the evidences of loving God? (Read John 14:15-24; 1 John 4:7-21)
3. How do you know if you are called according to God’s eternal purposes?[Read Eph. 1:3-14 (Notice how many times God’s purposes are referenced. To what does “purposes” refer?)]
