May 25 | Is There Life Beyond These Worries?
Psalm 27
Weekly Discussion Questions
Three general questions for digging deeper:
- What does this text teach us about God?
- What does this text teach us about ourselves?
- If this text is true, what should we do to obey this teaching?
Questions specific to the May 25 sermon:
-
How does this verse speak to Peter’s moment of fear on the water, and what does it teach us about trusting God when we feel overwhelmed?
-
What does this look like in our lives when we feel spiritually surrounded by anxiety or stress? How can we respond like David instead of like Peter, sinking in fear?
-
Why is seeking God’s presence the antidote to restlessness? How did Peter’s focus on Jesus give him the ability to walk on water – and what happened when he looked away?
-
What does it mean to ‘wait’ for God during times of worry? How can we ‘take heart’ when we don’t feel strong – like Peter who cried out, “Lord, save me”?
-
In moments of restlessness, how can holding onto this hope change the way we respond to fear or failure? How does Peter’s rescue by Jesus illustrate God’s faithfulness even when our faith falters?
