Study Guide: Coronavirus Q&A

Sunday April 5, 2020 | Greg Boyd, Kevin Callaghan, Sandra Unger

Brief Summary:

People have a lot of questions about what God is doing during this pandemic. In this teaching, leaders from Woodland Hills address questions that have been submitted over the last few weeks.

Extended Summary:

During the last few weeks, we have been inviting people to submit questions related to their experience of the pandemic. We have not had enough time to address some really good questions that have been sent in. Therefore, we took our entire teaching time to respond. Some of them include:

How can we use this pandemic situation to show the world of unbelievers that Church isn’t just something that happens in a building on Sundays?
If God’s all powerful, then shouldn’t he be able to stop this pandemic in a moment?
How do we deal with the stress and anxiety that is arising during this time?

Through this interaction, you will learn about ways to interact with other people who are blaming God for the pandemic, how to to deal with anxiety and isolation, and how to be the church when we cannot meet together in buildings. This guidance will empower you to live in peace and hope during this time of uncertainty.

Reflection Questions:

What are some of the ways that your life has changed during the pandemic?
Name some of the stresses that have resulted from these changes. Take some time right now to hand those stresses over God.
What are some practical ways that you find helpful to relieve stress and worry during this time? Make a plan for building those into your life.
Who is someone in your life that you can serve during this time, even if it is in a small way?
How can prayer be a more significant part of your life during this season?
