This is a 2-week study on pain. Week 1 covers 3 things pain does for us (Romans 8). Week 2 talks about how we can actually gain from our pain and how God can use anything for His Glory (2 Cor. 1 & various scriptures). Both weeks have small group discussion questions that go along with the messages so you can take your group even further.
This series includes:
- 2 word-for-word teaching documents (In Word, editable)
- 2 documents containing small group questions
- Title graphic (jpg) and background slide (jpg)
