How have you seen God use times of suffering and pain in your own life? How can we rejoice or boast in those things, while not minimizing the pain?
Is it important to distinguish suffering because of our sin and suffering because of Christ? How do we discern which kind of suffering we are encountering?
Where do you see your expectations of the Christian life being shaped more by comfort, success, or stability than by the New Testament pattern of “suffering now, glory later”?
Saturday Night Questions
How does the idea that testing reveals the character of faith challenge the way you evaluate your spiritual life? What kinds of tests have helped you see evidence of real growth or exposed areas that need repentance?
Which current practices or relationships are shaping who you are becoming? What habits, community influences, or decisions today might shape the kind of character your future self will display under pressure?
Where are you being formed intentionally, and where might you be drifting into passive formation?
Sunday Morning Questions
Before you begin the discussion questions, please have your campus fill out the 2026 Surge eval: Post SURGE 2026 Student Evaluation
Paul says our confidence comes from experiencing God’s love through the Spirit.
What practices or rhythms help you experience and remember God’s love rather than just affirm it intellectually?
Where are you most tempted to stay silent about your faith? How might a deeper certainty in your hope change your posture in those spaces?
If hope that “does not disappoint” is meant to produce courage and perseverance, what would it look like for your life decisions right now to be shaped more by eternal certainty than temporary comfort?
