Here is a neat idea for a Bible study. Our home group started doing it about a month ago: it's a hard questions night. What we do is each think of questions that are interesting and challenging (and maybe even stumbling?) in our walk with Jesus and then someone does a research on them and we all get a chance to brainstorm and discuss the issue. Here are a couple examples:
Does God change His mind?
Where did the dinosaurs go?
What is Universalism and it's place in Christianity?
Do you believe in a specific will of God for your life?
Kinda fun. The discussions get pretty passionate and sometimes I ended up being even more confused than in the beginning!:) But the results are great: I start thinking.

Does God change his mind? Not like a man does!
Universalism, come on, that makes the justice of God weak, the cross of Christ unecessary, sin a small offence, the blood of Christ worthless....
Here are some hard questions:
1. Why did God create a world in which the majority of humans will suffer unending punishment?
2. How can God justly punish the innocent in place of the guilty, namely, his Son?
3. How can God desire all to be saved yet elect his people before the foundation of the world?
4. Why is there so much error in the doctrine of the church throughout history, why hasn't God kept his people from so much contradiction?
Jake, don't be to smart for your own good! As for the questions we do want some that have answers. And by the way we already got over some that you mentioned.
Here is a really hard one: on Monday morning our church found out that our lead pastor Russ De Voss has beend dismissed from his duties due to sexual infidelity. He has a wife and three kids. During the last few months we heard the most amazing teaching you could ever think of. And during the same months Russ has been involved in an affair. Why?
