Questions for the Week

Describe a time in life when you’ve felt overwhelmed.
Which Biblical stories can you think of where people were overwhelmed, given more than they could handle on their own?
Read 2 Corinthians 1:3-11. What does Paul say about suffering and being overwhelmed? During his time in Asia, was he able to handle it himself? What was the result of that suffering?
Read Matthew 11:25-30. What is Jesus’ invitation for you in times when it feels like you have more than you can handle on your plate?
How would you encourage someone who is going through a rough time, feeling like they had more than they could handle?
