Is obeying God and trusting God the same thing? If we believe in God, do we live like God is in complete control? How can we trust God during suffering and disappointments? During a time of adversity, Jerry Bridges began a thorough study of God's sovereignty. What he learned changed his life and in Trusting God he shares the fruit of that study. The aim of this book study is to grow in our trust and affection for God -- even when life hurts. Participants are expected to interact with one another through an online message board platform (TBD) during the off week. We'll be reading from the Navpress, Reprint edition 2017. It is being sold on Amazon for $9.99 as a kindle download or $12.29 as a paperback (https://amzn.to/2Y15EpJ). We'll meet every other Monday night 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm beginning on June 8th.
