Key Discussion Points & Insights

• Job’s Reminders:
  • Job tells his friends that “good things can happen to wicked people and that bad things can happen to righteous people.”
  • Miss Emily explains:

    “Just because someone has lots of money and blessings, that doesn't mean they're living righteously. And if someone is poor or in the middle of hard times, that doesn't mean that they're living wickedly.” (01:11)

  • This encourages kids not to judge people by their circumstances.

2. God’s Supreme Wisdom

  • Miss Emily draws a connection to the New Testament, saying:

    “Does that sound familiar? Like something that might happen a lot of years later on a boat in the sea in the middle of the storm?... God the Son Jesus will do that one day. His power will make the stormy sea grow calm.” (02:11)
