Personal Reflection: How has a challenging time of faith made me stronger in my relationship with God? What tough situation am I facing right now and how can I cling to God during this time?
Discussion: How do you see real and deep faith in the example of Abraham and Sarah? How do you see their humanity and frailty? What do you learn about how God uses ordinary people to accomplish His extraordinary will?
