Join Pastor John Cutshall each week as we open God’s Word and grow together in faith. At Discovery Fellowship Church, we follow Jesus, are transformed by Him, and live on mission to make Him known through truth, love, obedience, and empowerment.
Why does God allow us to go through painful seasons?Suffering has a way of narrowing our vision until the problem in front of us is all we can see. In 2 Corinthians 1, Paul offers a bigger perspective. His own suffering taught him to rely not on himself, but on “God who raises the dead.”
In this message, Pastor Brett explores how God can work through our pain. Difficult seasons can expose our self-reliance, deepen our trust in God, and give us a story that can one day bring comfort and hope to someone else.
We may still have unanswered questions. We may still wish the pain would stop. But our suffering does not have to be wasted. God can teach through it, redeem it, and use what we have experienced for the good of others.
Discussion QuestionsWhere in your life right now are you most tempted to say, “I’ve got this,” instead of depending on God?Which is hardest for you to process: unanswered questions, unfair accusations, unanswered prayer, or unmet expectations? Why?How has a difficult season taught you something about God or yourself that you might not have learned otherwise?Is there someone in your life who could be encouraged by something you have already walked through?Instead of only asking God to remove a difficult situation, what would it look like to ask Him to grow your faith through it?

Can You Hear Me Now?
How do we know when God is speaking?
Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice.” Yet with constant notifications, packed schedules, competing opinions, and our own emotions, recognizing God’s voice can feel surprisingly difficult.
In this message, Pastor Brett explores how God has spoken throughout Scripture and four primary ways He continues to speak: through His Word, prayer, the Holy Spirit, and circumstances and community. We also learn how to test what we are hearing against Scripture and how simple practices like creating margin, writing things down, seeking wise community, and obeying what God has already shown us can help us become better listeners.
God is not simply interested in giving us information. He speaks to transform us, guide us, correct us, comfort us, and draw us closer to Himself.
Discussion QuestionsWhat tends to create the most noise or distraction in your life when you are trying to listen to God?Of the four ways discussed in the message, Scripture, prayer, the Holy Spirit, and circumstances or community, which do you find easiest to recognize? Which is hardest?Why is Scripture so important when trying to determine whether something you are sensing is actually from God?Is there something you believe God has already asked you to do that you have delayed or avoided?What could you change this week to create more margin to listen to God and respond to Him?

I Am Not, But I Know I Am
What do you do when you feel unqualified for what God is asking of you?
In week two of The Way of Jesus, we meet Moses carrying the weight of past failures and present doubts. When he asks, “Who am I?” God responds, “I will be with you.”
Through Exodus 3–4, Pastor Brett explores how God takes the initiative, responds to prayer, and provides for what He calls us to do. We also consider how God’s comfort in our difficult seasons can equip us to care for others. This message invites us to notice where God is already working and take a practical step of trust this week.
Discussion Questions
Where do you most often feel “not enough,” and how does God’s promise to be with Moses speak to that?

What would making prayer your first response look like in a situation you’re facing this week?
How has God comforted you through a difficult season, and how could you offer that same comfort to someone else?
